Description
Product Overview
Xanthis propulsion equipment lineup includes the advanced Veth Compact Grid from Veth Propulsion by Twin Disc, engineered for vessels requiring compact, high-efficiency bow thrusters. Designed for easy installation, the Compact Grid provides maximum thrust with minimal immersion and can also serve as an emergency propulsion system, making it ideal for both commercial and recreational vessels. By combining the simplicity of the Veth Steering Grid and the angled screw technology of the Veth Compact Jet, the Compact Grid delivers superior performance in a compact package.
Key Features
- Robust and Simple Design: Fewer moving parts mean lower maintenance and higher reliability.
- Angled Propeller: 17-degree propeller angle increases thrust efficiency with minimal immersion.
- Maximum Thrust: Achieves excellent thrust even in shallow water conditions.
- 360° Steering: Complete directional control for precise maneuvering in tight spaces.
- Emergency Propulsion: Can maintain vessel mobility when main engines fail.
- Compact and Easy to Install: Designed for simple integration into existing hulls or new builds.
- Drive Options: Available in both electric and hydraulic configurations.
- Power Range: Up to 160 kW for a variety of vessel sizes and operational needs.
