Simplified driveline, lower life-cycle costs, and less maintenance
Our Direct Thrust (DT) waterjets have the impeller’s main shaft arranged to thrust
directly to the gearbox, just like a conventional propeller arrangement. The DT variant is
available on the majority of our waterjets.
DT waterjets are mechanically simpler and more cost-effective to operate and maintain
than competing systems because they eliminate the need for any waterjet thrust bearing
system and intermediate shafting. In addition, they require less longitudinal space than
conventional waterjets models, so they offer even more installation flexibility.
