Principle of operation

The principle of operation of the Veth-Jet is as simple as it is effective. With the help of a horizontally mounted propeller, the water is drawn up from underneath the vessel. Through a 360° rotating drum the water is bent 90° and guided into one or two channels making the vessel manoeuvrable.

There are many reasons to choose a Veth-Jet bow thruster.The main reasons are:

• Maximum thrust at minimum draught.
• The propeller turns in 1 direction (maximum efficiency).
• Gives thrust during sailing.
• No protruding parts under the vessel.
• The 3 and 4 channel system can also be used as auxiliary propulsion or brake.
• High thrust: about 11 kg./kW.
• No reverse clutch is required.
• Possibility to change propeller without docking.

Veth Propulsion has got its own electronics department in which the control systems are developed and fabricated. The panels are delivered completely ready for mounting.
