Fishtrack of TAUW successfully monitored

Reports from TAUW indicate, that the Fishtrack2.0 as applied in the screw pumping station at Usquert is an excellent fish migration facility.
Both upstream and downstream, over 1,200 pangolins and eels migrated in both directions at the test site in 2 weeks already. And 100% undamaged, as they do not pass any rotating parts in the pumping station. Meanwhile, large eels, silver eels and pikeperch also passed.

Landustrie built the new pumping station on behalf of Noorderzijlvest Water Board. The work was awarded on the basis of Best Value Procurement. The pumping station uses two LANDY fish-friendly screw pumps.

Steinsau hydroelectric weirs

Meanwhile, LANDY hydropower jacks have been installed in the existing weir, in the River Ill near Erstein. A total of six augers, each with a diameter of 2.5 metres and a weight of 7 tonnes, will produce about one million kWh per year. This amount of renewable energy is good for about 250 households.

Jacks to Chilean capital Santiago

Landustrie will supply five new screw jacks for the largest sewage treatment plant in Latin America, La Farfana in the Chilean capital Santiago. The jacks will be placed in the intake pumping station, where some 6 to 7 hundred thousand m3 of wastewater per day is pumped into the treatment process.

Largest hydropower auger

The world's largest hydropower screw has been manufactured at Landustrie so far. The 5-metre diameter screw is destined for a project in England and will generate around 355 kW of green power. Because of the dimensions of the screw pump, it will be transported by ship. The photos show embarkation of the screw pump and the accompanying screw trough from its own quay in Sneek.

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.
