Azimuth thruster SPJ series

for shipsdiesel enginecompact

Compact, quiet, efficient – the SCHOTTEL PumpJet has stood the test of time as a reliable take-home system as well as manoeuvring and main propulsion system in all types of vessels where maximum manoeuvring performance, space-saving installation and utmost comfort are paramount. As a modern shallow-water propulsion unit, the SPJ provides full thrust in all directions even at minimum immersion depths. The flush installation along the vessel’s hull provides optimal protection against damage in the event of ground contact and is supplemented by an inlet grid. ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE Fully protected, no projecting parts Maximum thrust with extremely compact design Reduced noise level Can be used as take-home system SCHOTTEL-exclusive features such as LeaCon or HTG (optional) SCHOTTEL CoaGrid for even more efficiency (optional) Resiliently mounted installation (optional) IN DETAIL MINIMUM NOISE FOR MAXIMUM COMFORT The extremely compact design enables space-saving installation with minimal displacement losses. Since the SCHOTTEL PumpJet is installed flush with the vessel’s hull, this not only minimizes the ship resistance, but the risk of damage is also reduced considerably. This makes the robust SPJ the perfect choice for operation in extremely shallow waters. Furthermore, the SPJ guarantees low noise and vibration levels. It is therefore ideal for ships with high comfort requirements, such as passenger ships and yachts. The propulsion unit is optionally available with a resilient mount, which further reduces noise levels and vibrations.
