AMCON Europe s.r.o.
About
AMCON Europe s.r.o., based in the Czech Republic, is the EMEA arm of Japan's AMCON Inc. and the global provider of the patented VOLUTE multi-disc screw press for sludge dewatering and thickening. The company's name reflects its mission of delivering amenity and convenience beyond expectation in wastewater treatment. Its flagship VOLUTE press uses self-cleaning moving rings that prevent clogging and achieve 84% lower energy consumption than centrifuge systems. The current generation includes the VOLUTE DUO (RVP series), which introduces a double-cutting ring movement that handles fibrous and long-stored municipal sludges down to 0.5% total solids while reaching 20–65% cake dryness. The GS series adds an integrated pre-thickener for sludges as dilute as 0.2% TS, and the FS series serves baseline applications from 100 to 200,000 PE capacity. Thickening is addressed by the VOLUME continuous thickener, which concentrates sludge from approximately 0.4% to over 4% TS without clogging, even with oily sludges. AMCON also supplies containerized and mobile plug-and-play dewatering units for rental or permanent installation, YESfloc polymer conditioning chemicals, ESB screw and belt conveyors, progressive cavity pumps, and real-time solids sensors for process optimization. The company provides complimentary sludge analysis, on-site pilot testing, and extended warranties up to five years.
Key Products
Next-generation dual-screw dewatering press with frictionless design where an external driveshaft moves rings, handling fibrous and inorganic sludges from 0.5% TS, achieving 20-65% cake dry solids, 90% less energy than centrifuges, and 90-95% less rinsing water than belt presses.
Dewatering press with integrated pre-thickener (TFU) inside the flocculation tank, handling sludges down to 0.2% TS and increasing throughput by up to 50% versus FS series, combining pre-thickening, thickening, and dewatering in one machine.
Baseline dewatering press with self-cleaning moving rings, handling sludges down to 0.2% TS, available in 14 models from FS-051 to FS-404 covering 100 to 200,000 PE, supporting raw wastewater, WAS, chemically precipitated, DAF, and mixed sludges.
Continuous sludge thickener without interruption, thickening from ~0.4% to 4.0%+ TS, clog-free even with oily sludge, with high solid capture rate and footprint approximately 1/3 of a belt-type thickener at the same 30 m³/h throughput.
Plug-and-play sludge dewatering system housed in a 15 or 30 m² container including VOLUTE press, flocculation tank, ancillary equipment, and climate control, requiring no construction permits, available for rental.
Trailer-mounted plug-and-play dewatering system on wheels with only three connections needed (sludge, rinse water, electricity), for unsupervised operation across multiple WWTPs, available for rental.
Officially recommended polymer brand for VOLUTE presses and thickeners, available in cationic/anionic/amphoteric water-based dispersion, anionic/cationic oil emulsion, anionic/cationic granular solid, and acrylamide-free 100% flocculant forms, most GRAS approved and biodegradable.
Stainless steel (AISI 304/316L) trough screw conveyors in 4 models (200/225/250/300), 0.55-3.0 kW, 2-8m length, 0-40° inclination, with optional heating/insulation for outdoor use, for transporting dewatered sludge cake.
Compact fully enclosed tubular screw conveyors (model ESB-TC-200) for vertical transport up to 90° with low dust and spillage, ideal for space-constrained installations.
Belt conveyors in 3 widths (300/400/650mm) with customizable length and inclination, stainless steel construction, for transporting dewatered sludge and cake.
Shaftless screw conveyors in 3 models (200/225/250), up to 6m length and 40° inclination, for handling sticky or irregular materials without shaft blockage.
Inline mixing equipment that reduces polymer consumption and increases dewatering efficiency through optimized flocculant/sludge mixing.
Continuous polymer preparation systems in powder type (by Kozegho) and liquid type (by POLYMORE) for automated flocculant dosing.
Eccentric screw pump for feeding sludge into dewatering equipment with consistent flow and pressure.
Continuous real-time cake dryness measurement for process optimization and dewatering performance monitoring.
Microwave-based total solids measurement that saves on chemical consumption when sludge concentration fluctuates.
Suspended solids measurement for effective process control and sludge feed monitoring.
No-cost laboratory testing of customer sludge samples providing a report on expected chemical dosage, cake dry solids content, and recommended technology configuration.
On-site trial at the customer's wastewater treatment plant using an actual VOLUTE machine with real sludge to verify performance before purchase.
Short-term or long-term rental of VOLUTE dewatering presses for treating excessive sludge volumes, emptying sludge ponds, or replacing non-functioning equipment during maintenance.
