In the Netherlands we are increasingly confronted with larger amounts of precipitation. Pumping station De Heining (Friesland) was built so that excess water is drained directly to the Wadden Sea.
When the water level rises, the screw jacks raise water and pump it from the polder towards the sea. The maximum capacity is 250,000 liters per minute.
This project also pays special attention to the ecosystem. A fish passage has been constructed so that fish can migrate freely between the Wadden Sea and the Frisian waters.
ATB Automation supplied 6 pieces of ADE MST 50 actuators for this project, with a stroke of 1600mm. Of these, 4 pieces are used to open the slides, and 2 pieces are used to operate the fish passages.
Thanks to the good cooperation with Wetterskip Fryslân, Natuurmonumenten, Rijkswaterstaat and the Province of Friesland, we have achieved a wonderful result.
The video below from Wetterskip Fryslân explains the operation of the pumping station:
We supply slewing ring bearings, oscillating mountings, tensioner devices from stock and we also have spiral bevel gearboxes, servo gears and electromechanical actuators in our delivery program.
In addition we also select and offer the right components and systems for motion control solutions, such as servo gear motors, linear servo actuators and complete XYZ cartesian systems.
