Hydropower Screw Turbines

The new range of the Landustrie hydropower screw turbines. Here we show you how it works...

We all know the traditional application of the archimedean screw pump where water is pumped up from a lower to a higher level. The reversal of its function provides an efficient means of saving energy. The main advantage of a screw pump is that it is taylor made to the specific installation and therefore extremely efficient for a wide range.

An efficient use of water power is already achieved at a level difference of 1 meter and a capacity of 500 l/sec. The largest capacity and level difference for hydropower screws is as much as 15000 l/sec. at 10 meter.

Benefits of hydropower screws:

• Highest efficiency (up to 86%)
• Simple installation
• Easy implementation in existing situations
• Extremely fish friendly

• Insensitive to clogging
• Low maintenance costs
• Long life time
• Improvement of water quality

• 24/24 energy supply
• Active flow control without extra losses
• Possibility to switch over to pump function
• Self-regulating to changing water flow...
