Over the last 55 years Veth Propulsion BV has gained a reputation in the maritime world. During this time the company has evolved as a specialist for thrusters known for their intelligent design, solid construction and easy maintenance.The Veth-Z-Drive and the Compact-Jet were developed In Papendrecht. Various kinds of bow thrusters - such as the well-known Veth-Jet channel system - were also originally developed by Apart from the thrusters Veth Propulsion BV has a Diesel engine department which makes it possible to supply the thrusters together with a Diesel engine, whenever required....

The Veth-Z-Drive has proven ^^^^^^^^^^^^m its reliability for many years. With the rudder propeller, HT!^T!TW^^^ manufactured, Veth Propulsion HMBH shows that high efficiency and The Veth-Z-Drive gives full thrust power over a circle of 360°, thus enabling a maximum manoeuvrability of the vessel. With its wide differentiation of types over the years, the Veth-Z-Drive offers a solution for numerous applications. Veth Propulsion stands for innovation Certificates by recognized classification societies can be obtained to accompany each installation.Veth Propulsion maintains a comprehensive...

Apart from the standard design Veth Propulsion BV offers a counter- rotating system (CR).The CR Veth-Z-Drives present a completely low-noise propulsion.The CR unit combines high efficiency and small educed noise emission. propeller diameters with r The power is distributed over two propellers which results in a better performance. Within the CR unit both propellers rotate in opposite directions, so that the second propeller compensates the whirling of the water caused by the first propeller. As a consequence rotation loss is minimized with maximum efficiency gained from the available power...

The optimum number of revolutions is about 20% less than a single propeller or two rotating in the same direction.The low stress on the propeller blades and the lessened turbulence of the water contribute in obtaining a low vibration and a silencing effect. The propellers of the counter-rotating Veth-Z-Drive are mounted on opposite sides of the hydrodynamic streamlined underwater gearbox. With this arrangement, a more solid bearing and secure sealing system is created compared to placing the two propellers COUNTER-ROTATING VETH Z-DRIVE

STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY COMPACT INSTALLATION The Veth-Z-Drive has a built-in disc-clutch to achieve a short construction length.This robust clutch is especially laid out for heavy-duty operations, such as the frequent engaging and disengaging of gears on a ferry boat.

What is not possible with conventional propulsion, poses no problem to a Veth-Z-Drive,the height of the propeller is adjustable thus enabling a discharged ship to manoeuvre without ballast. This application allows an adjustment of the installation to various heights. It is also possible to make installations, which can be completely retracted within the ship's construction (photos above), an application often used for auxiliary propulsion for off-shore Because of the ingenious universal gear coupling system, the Veth-Z-Drive can be completely uncoupled from the driving engine, in particular...

The Veth-L-Drive is a good choice when an installation is driven electrically or hydraulically. In this case the engine is mounted vertically but without the upper gear-box with the free-wheel clutch. The integrated steering wheels, however, Over the years Veth Propulsion BV has obtained special expertise with Diesel electric installations. A frequency control can be supplied together with the

The Veth-Z-Drives are very compact due to the integration of transmission, clutch and steering wheels into one system. Up to an input power of 550 kW a worm gear is used for steering. For drive power exceeding 550 kW a slewing gear is used. Large transmissions ensure extremely accurate steering.
