Recycled rainwater from R Plevin & Sons’ holding reservoir (capacity 1.5 million litres) is pumped by the Landia Chopper pumps to water cannons, which damp down wood stored on a two and a half acre concrete pad. This process eliminates any potential dust problems and is particularly important in dry and windy weather. The knife system of Landia’s MPTK Chopper Pump ensures that solids cannot get into the pump and clog it up, so there is no downtime for end-users.
Jamie Plevin, managing director, R Plevin & Sons, said: “Landia’s chopper pumps have to deal with a significant element of wood waste, dust and wood-chips, but have proved very capable and reliable.”
