Screw applied in silos

Creusabro 845x321

For ESI Eurosilo at Purmerend, Landustrie will have a total of 35 pieces of fearsome-looking jacks or screw conveyors. A striking feature of the augers is the serrated sheathing edge and the material used, namely Creusabro 4800. Creusabro is a very hard steel with high wear resistance. The screw conveyors are used in coal and gypsum silos for both digging and mass distribution work. These different applications also each require a specific toothing; for example, in addition to small teeth, the manifold screw is evenly fitted with a large tooth in the shape of a shark fin. The screws ensure optimum distribution, in this case of coal, over the available space in the silo. The first order for coal silos in China was followed by an identical order for Turkey and a German project where the screws are used in gypsum silos.

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.

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.

Wetterskip Fryslân's last diesel pumping station has been replaced by a sustainable pumping station, equipped with a Landy prefabricated screw installation. Commissioned by De Boer & De Groot, Landustrie took care of the entire electromechanical part. The Wildlanden polder pumping station, located near Oudega (Smallingerland) is now equipped with a prefabricated screw pump, diameter 1100 mm, length 3800 mm and capacity of 960 m3/hour.
