Landini creates new series of multistage pumps Family-owned company Landini Pumps made its mark with products for irrigation but has more recently extended its range with pumps for applications in public, civil and industrial water supply. The Landini Pumps company was set up in Gonzaga in 1956 by an entrepreneur from the province of Reggio Emilia, Nino Landini. He applied the experience acquired from his family (entrepreneurs in the farm mechanization area from the beginning of the last century to the 1960s) in the field of rainwater irrigation for agriculture. This company has always set itself the goal of keeping a high quality product unchanged over time, characterized by strength and advanced technology.
with the help of new machinery and the provision of a modern test room for its entire range of pumps. Although Landini Pumps is a small-sized company, it has established its presence in Italy among the leading companies of this sector, and is now recording its largest turnover abroad. It already has customers across the whole of Europe and the Middle East, and it is introducing itself in Latin America with great success, exporting to a total of more than 40 states worldwide.
In recent years, Landini Pumps has improved its product quality
Production is characterized by a wide range of centrifugal pumps with horizontal shafts for tractors, engine-driven cultivators and motors, and the company is expanding its well-tried range of pumps more and more with vertical shaft and submersible pumps. This has extended the application fields of Landini’s pumps from irrigation to public, civil and industrial water supply.

What’s new? A recent design breakthrough has made possible the creation of a new series of multistage pumps that achieve the highest hydraulic yields in their class. The new series comprises the ‘MLH’ horizontal shaft pumps (Figure 1) and ‘MLV’ vertical shaft pumps (Figure 2). The principal uses for these pumps include: conveying water in industrial, municipal and domestic water systems; snowmaking; fireprotection systems; raising pressure and irrigation. They are available in a range of sizes with flow capacity ranging from 8–250 m3/h, head from 20–600 m, and power ratings of 3–340 kW.
