The
Veth-Z-Drive and L-Drive rudder propellers have proven to
be very reliable through the years, in both inland and marine navigation.
High thrust and excellent manoeuvrability are important characteristics. these
properties, in combination with the application of only first class materials,
make this system a particular product of high quality.
The
Veth-Z-Drive is also extremely silent, due to the use of the best helical
gears wheels minimum resistance. Flexible mounting and/or counter rotating
propellers can limit the sound level even more.
The Z-Drives are also available as counter rotating system, deck-mounted installation and even completely within the ship.
The principle of the Veth-Jet is as simple as it is effective. With the help of a horizontal mounted propeller, the water is sucked up from underneath the vessel. The vessel is manoeuvred by means of a 360° rotating deflector, which turns the water through 90° and forces it through a tunnel.
The advantages of the Veth-Jet
 |
Maximum thrust at minimum draught |
|
360° thrust |
|
No protruding parts under the vessel |
|
High thrust about 11 kg/kW |
|
It is possible to manoeuvre the vessel at maximum power |
|
Solid construction, so long lifetime |
|
The 3 and 4 tunnel system can also be used as auxiliary propulsion and/or brake |
|
Fast steering time in about 6 to 7 seconds from PS to SB |
|
The propeller only turns in one direction, so reverse clutch is not necessary |
Veth-Compact-Jet
The Veth-Compact-Jet is a thruster, meant for
propulsion, but can also be used as a bow thruster.
Applications
An important advantage is that the Compact-Jet is very appropriate for shallow
draught conditions. And as there are no protruding parts underneath the vessel,
this thruster is also very suitable to make flat-bottom crafts, such as barges,
self propelled.
When the requirements for a low sound level are very important, as for example
in passenger vessels, the Compact-Jet can also be used as a bow thruster. Thanks
to it's double construction, the sound level is limited to a minimum.
For ships requiring maximum transverse force,
the Veth tunnel thruster has repeatedly proved to be the best choice.
The Veth tunnel thruster consists of a tail-end with a vertically mounted NiAlBz
propeller with built-in reduction. For this product too, the up-to-date design
guarantees maximum operational reliability.
Besides the fixed pitch tunnel thrusters also controllable pitch units can be
delivered on request. The blades are changed in pitch hydraulically.
The Veth Steering Grid has an innovative mechanical design, in which many
successful parts of the Veth Bow Thruster have been used such as the steering
worm wheel and main gearing. The easy to build in unit takes a limited amount of
space. Thanks to the hydro-dynamically optimised unit the Veth Steering Grid is
very effective and can be delivered in a range from 300 to 650 hp.
This pump, developed by VETH's own technical department, requires an absolute
minimum of pipework. Another advantage is that it can be used in two rotational
directions. There is, therefore, no requirement for the pump to be connected to
a suction- or pression box.
Solid, robust and compact. These are the qualities you can expect from Veth
Propulsion products and these qualities are applied to the VETH-BALLAST-PUMP.
