At the plant in Vendsyssel on the northern tip of Jutland, where Saeby specialize in the processing of mackerel, Landia’s MPTKR-I Chopper Pump has been successfully mixing the contents of a tank through a recirculation system before sludge is pumped to a tanker truck. The sludge includes polymers, emanates from the dewatering unit and has a dry matter content of 15%. To handle this high dry matter content efficiently and effectively, the 18.5 kW Landia Chopper Pump was built with a special feeder propeller.

Almost a decade on, the Landia Chopper Pump has worked continuously, without breakdowns and with only routine preventative maintenance required.
