Screw pumping stations

The auger, or Archimedes' screw, consists of an angled tube with blades, which, while rotating, raises a (waste) water to a higher level.

Applications of the mortar :

• influent pumping station
• intermediate pumping station
• return sludge pumping station
• irrigation
• drainage
• polder pumping stations
• circulation in aeration systems
• white-water slides in amusement parks
• industrial applications
• storm water applications
• auger generator/hydropower auger

The augers can be produced in both steel epoxy-coated and stainless steel versions. Arrangement of the augers is possible in both concrete and steel troughs. For special applications, there is a self-supporting steel trough. The augers can also be supplied as complete prefab units or as tubular augers. All our Landustrie augers are designed using computer calculation programmes.

Properties :

• open blockage-free, simple and robust construction
• high efficiency, low maintenance and low operating costs
• high reliability, long service life and low wear
• automatic adjustment of pump capacity to the supply
• large area of application, capacity from 10 to 11,500 l/s, head from 0 to 25 m.
• Capacity changes are easy and, if necessary, infinitely variable
• insensitive to flow conditions and no cavitation due to low speeds
