VOLUTE™ Dewatering Press

ABCO Water is proud to be the exclusive Australian Distributor for AMCON’s VOLUTE™ Sludge Dewatering Screw Press Technology. Established in Japan in 1974, AMCON invented “multi-disc screw press” technology in 1991, giving birth to a whole new genre of sludge dewatering.

AMCON has installed more than 5,000 VOLUTE™ systems in 77 countries, for both industrial and municipal applications. AMCON has had a presence in Australia since 2006 and has delivered 15 sludge dewatering projects, including for municipal wastewater treatment plants. AMCON’s screw press is equipped with unique VOLUTE™ technology, which allows dewatering of sludge while automatically self-cleaning the filter mesh.

ABCO Water can assist with equipment selection and provide a complete package with additional equipment and AS3000 compliant control system. A Volute™ Dewatering Press can be either stand-alone or as part of a complete treatment system as post treatment to other technologies.
