Making It Look Easy Landia JetMix covers sludge tanks from north and south. JetMix offers the benefits of low energy usage and total cost of ownership plus long-lasting, reliable service. Landia has seen a marked increase in demand for its wastewater JetMix system, with new orders received from two of the United Kingdom’s largest water companies. The first, in the north, sees seven Landia JetMix units going into operation in sludge tanks, while in the south, a further nine mixing systems have also been specified.
Simple and Effective
One of the many simple, yet highly effective mixing solutions from Landia, JetMix incorporates the first and original Chopper Pump, fitted with jetting nozzles specially configured for each tank.

The mixer that was replaced was extremely cumbersome to retrieve, causing health and safety issues and significantly costly downtime due to numerous breakdowns. Now, the retrofitted Landia JetMix ensures that there is no build-up of crust in the centre of the tank, which regularly used to clog up the old pump. Following the success of the first JetMix system, Glatfelter invested in a further four
