Milestone for DEC Dommelstroom

On Tuesday, September 13, 2016, the Landy hydropower auger for Energiecoöperatie Dommelstroom arrived in Sint-Michielsgestel. Amid great public interest, the trough and auger were assembled on site at the existing weir.

The new hydropower plant is an initiative of Jan and Bram Taks and will generate renewable energy for about 200 households. Father and son Taks started the Sustainable Energy Cooperative Dommelstroom together and raised the necessary funds through crowdfunding.

The new hydropower plant has been designed so that there is no encroachment on the natural environment and passing fish are not affected by the auger. The design also takes into account the prevention of any noise pollution from the flowing water.

New pump series tested

The new range of dry-mounted pumps with cutting device has been tested. These are the pump types BSP 22-05 and BSP 22-08. The test results are positive and the pump efficiency is equal to the renowned submersible pump, also known as the Wetterfretter (DSP type). These pumps with cutting device cut the solids in the wastewater into small particles, which are then pumped through the pipework (dia. 32 mm) without any problems.

Modification of polder pumping stations

In mid-2019, Landustrie was awarded the extensive contract by Van Boekel Bouw & Infra to carry out all mechanical engineering works of a total of four polder pumping stations, located in the Rijnland Water Board. For the replacement of the three existing pumping stations in the Veerpolder, Oosteinderpolder and Hellegatspolder, a new Landy auger was delivered and assembled, including a new drive unit.

Completion new pumping station municipality of Hoorn

Landustrie supplied the mechanical and electrical components for the new booster pumping station Blokmergouw in the municipality of Hoorn. The new pumping station is part of a package of measures to optimise the existing wastewater system within the municipality. Here, the municipality is responsible for collecting the waste water and Hoogheemraadschap Hollands Noorderkwartier is responsible for transporting it to RWZI Wervershoof.

Three Hundred Minerals Renovated

Three hundred mini-grids renovated

On Thursday 9 November 2020, the renovated 300 mini pumping stations commissioned by the Municipality of Leusden went into operation. Working closely with social employment service Amfors Groep, Landustrie renovated the controls of these mini pumping stations in the municipality. On the basis of demo cabinets supplied by Landustrie, Amfors' metal company (Metafors) realised the switchboxes and the corresponding outdoor installation cabinets. Old switchboxes were dismantled by them and carefully separated, checked and recycled where possible. The proceeds from the recycling were donated to KiKa.

Lightweight Wetterfretter

Landustrie's renowned dirt cutting Wetterfretter pumps are now also available in a compact and lightweight version. By adapting the pump and motor housing, a compact pump has been realised with a weight of only 35 kg. In case of inspection or maintenance, the pump can easily be lifted by hand. Especially at mini pumping stations where no lifting facility is available, this pump offers a solution.
