nnnnKamewa FF - series
nnnnThe FF-series waterjets are as tough as jobs they were created for
nnnnFF-series water jet (FF67)
nnnnRobust reliability
nnnnKamewa FF-series waterjets cover the
nnnnpower range between 100 and 2000 kW.
nnnnTypical applications include naval craft,
nnnnsearch and rescue boats, pilot boats, work
nnnnboats and pleasure boats.
nnnnThe FF-series waterjet units are
nnnnmanufactured from strong, corrosion-
nnnnresistant materials. Only the impeller, shaft
nnnnand steering/reversing rods are made of
nnnnstainless steel. All the other components
nnnnare of aluminium construction based on
nnnnthorough strength calculations to minimise
nnnnweight.
nnnnThe inlet duct is fabricated from marine
nnnnaluminium plate for light weight, optimum
nnnnhydrodynamic performance and resistance
nnnnto corrosion.
nnnnThe pump is a single-stage axial-flow
nnnndesign providing a high volume flow with
nnnngood pulling thrust in a wide speed range.
nnnnUsually, the FF-series jets do not require
nnnnreduction gears.
nnnnAll FF-series waterjets can also be
nnnnsupplied as booster units i.e. jet units
nnnnwithout steering components.
nnnnOn delivery, the Kamewa FF-series
nnnnwaterjets are painted and complete with
nnnnstructurally dimensioned inlet ducts for
nnnneasy installation by bolting or welding.
nnnnRolls-Royce - the professional supplier
nnnnRolls-Royce is the world leader in
nnnnresearch, development and manufacture
nnnnof waterjets for commercial, naval and
nnnnpleasure-boat markets. It is also the only
nnnnsupplier in the industry with its own, fully
nnnnequipped hydrodynamic research centre.
nnnnThe centre continuously develops and
nnnntests new products and refines the
nnnnexisting product line.
nnnnAll Kamewa FF-series waterjets are
nnnnproduced using the latest 3D CAD/CAM
nnnntools to ensure high level of quality and
nnnnaccuracy in design and manufacturing.
nnnnRolls-Royce also utilises its own
nnnnproprietary, computerised design program,
nnnnwhich contains the latest waterjet
nnnntechnology data combined with the actual
nnnnresults from earlier waterjet installations.
nnnnAided by this program, individual
nnnninfluences and the combined effect of all
nnnnthe existing outlet diameters and blade
nnnnpitch angles will be studied to optimise the
nnnnperformance of every installation.
nnnnKamewa FF-series sets new standards for
nnnnsmall and medium-size applications of
nnnnwaterjets in terms of performance,
nnnneconomy and reliability.
nnnnWherever you are, Rolls-Royce's global
nnnnservice network will be there to provide
nnnnextensive through-life support for Kamewa
nnnnwaterjets.
