ADVANCED WATERJET DRIVE
TURBODRIVE 240 H.C.T. / L.V.T.
Since 1962
Forerunners, always
Turbodrive 240 H.C.T. is the most compact and light model of the range equipped
with the integrated gearbox and hydraulic multi-disc clutch. The main components
have been designed with the help of the most advanced and recent CFD softwares,
so to achieve performance even higher than its precursor, the Turbodrive 240 H.C.
The static and dynamic thrusts are significantly increased, as well as the resistance to
cavitation, thanks to the new micro-cast 4 blades axial flow impeller made in AISI 316 L
stainless steel. The new nozzle improves the steering control allowing tight turns with
a limited loss of speed.
Turbodrive 240 H.C.T. can be now equipped with the Clear-Duct advanced unclogging
system (that operates simultaneously the reversing of the impeller rotation and the opening
of the intake grid) and a wide choice of Castoldi controls including the high-end electronic
ACES.
Turbodrive 240 H.C.T. redefines the quality and performance standards of the category:
its compact dimensions and many unique features make it the lightest, most complete and
efficient waterjet of its class on the market.

TURBODRIVE 240 H.C.T. / L.V.T. Main parts
Stainless steel or Titanium (optional) wear ring Inboard mounted Oil pump directly splined Integrated heavy duty gearbox
hydraulic actuators to the input shaft with N. 18 gear ratios available
The Castoldi impeller is a true axial inducer type design and is recognized
as having the best efficiency, cavitation resistance and lowest weight
compared to any other type of pump.
Clear-Duct unclogging system
(optional for H.C.T.).
Performs the synchronized operations of impeller
rotation reversing and intake grid opening
Built-in multi-disc hydraulic clutch (not
present on L.V.T)
Electric/hydraulic control of the movable
protection grid (optional for H.C.T.)
New high efficiency reversing bucket
and steering nozzle design
Impeller shaft rotating into a protective sleeve, Movable protection grid on water intake with hydrodynamically profiled set of bars
Outboard inspection hatch oil immersed and not in contact with the water (hydraulically controlled on H.C.T., mechanically controlled on L.V.T.)
TURBODRIVE 240 H.C.T. / L.V.T.
• The highest thrust and best performance
Assured by the new component design.
• The most effective defense against marine corrosion
Assured by the hard anodizing treatment protecting all the aluminium alloy
components with 60 microns thickness of aluminum oxide (ceramic), three layers
of special paint and cathodic protection by sacrificial anodes.
• The most efficient anti-clogging system
Assured by the Clear-Duct system (optional for H.C.T.) performing the simultaneous
electrically controlled operations of impeller rotation reversing and the intake grid
opening.
• The highest suitability to operate in sandy, dirty and shallow waters
Thanks to the impeller shaft rotating into a protective sleeve, oil immersed and not
in contact with the water.
• The longest operational life
Thanks to the presence of all oil lubricated bearings.
• The most compact installation
Thanks to the presence of the built-in gearbox and hydraulic multi-disc clutch.
