AMCON Europe

29/04/2026

🇬🇧 This year at IFAT Munich, AMCON Europe is putting an end to manual grab sampling. We are officially launching our biggest leap in process automation: The OAE- SCOUT Olpas Cake Dryness Sensor.

Custom-engineered for the VOLUTE™ ecosystem, it delivers continuous, real-time inline measurement – allowing you to instantly optimise processes and maximise dry solids.

See the sensor live in action alongside our advanced dewatering presses:
⚙️ VOLUTE DUO™: Frictionless twin-screw design cutting maintenance OPEX by >50%.
📈 VOLUTE™ GS: Integrated pre-thickening (TFU) boosting capacity by up to 50%.

📍 Hall A2, Booth 317 | 📅 May 4–7, 2026

Still running a traditional belt filter press at your WWTP? Then you are likely paying a hidden "water tax."

Belt presses consume thousands of litres of wash-water every hour just to prevent clogging. Returning all that contaminated filtrate back into your system creates a costly loop that reduces your hydraulic capacity and drives up your OPEX.

In our latest article, we share a direct comparative case study from Scotland. Discover what happened when a traditional belt press was tested against the fully automated VOLUTE DUO™ technology:
✔️ 99.1% reduction in wash-water consumption (saving 250 m³ of water a day!)
✔️ 52.3% reduction in power consumption
✔️ Dry, odourless, and fully automated 24/7 operation

Read the full case study below and see why modern WWTPs are making the switch. 👇

Unexpected equipment failure, scheduled plant overhauls, or a seasonal spike in sludge production? 📉

Waiting months for a new machine is rarely an option when disposal costs are rising. Renting mobile dewatering equipment provides an immediate solution without the need for upfront investment.

But when does a rental make the most sense, and how can you avoid hidden fees? In our latest article, we break down:
✔️ The core benefits of renting
✔️ What to check in your rental contract
✔️ Technical requirements for your site

Read the full guide below. 👇

How do you keep a sludge dewatering press running reliably for over 25 years? ⚙️

While standard machinery often requires costly repairs or replacement after just a decade, VOLUTE™ presses are built to last a quarter of a century. The secret lies in clog-free engineering and consistent care.

To help you minimise OPEX and maximise ROI, our engineering team has compiled a practical maintenance guide outlining the essential daily, monthly, and annual routines.

Read the full article below to see how easy it is to protect your investment! 👇

The average lifespan of a dewatering press is 10–15 years, but with proper care, AMCON units can last over 25. Discover our daily and monthly maintenance guide here.

🚗 Dewatering Paint Shop Sludge: Exceeding Expectations in the Automotive Industry

A well-known German car manufacturer faced a challenge in their paint shop. Their existing centrifuge was aging, inconsistent, and required too much startup time to reach peak performance.

Target? A stable 50% dry solids (DS) content.
Results with AMCON? Over 60% DS. 🚀

We replaced the centrifuge with a VOLUTE DUO™ RVP-381, and the benefits went far beyond just dryness:

✅ Fully Automatic: The unit handles variable sludge sources (2x DAF, 1x mix) by automatically switching between 5 different programs.
✅ No Operator Needed: Unlike the previous solution, VOLUTE DUO™ runs continuously without constant supervision.
✅ High Capture Rate: > 99% capture rate ensures a very clean filtrate.
✅ Energy Efficient: Significant reduction in power consumption compared to centrifuges.

Paint shop sludge is complex, but with the right technology, it can be managed efficiently and economically.

See how VOLUTE DUO™ achieved >60% cake dryness for a German car manufacturer's paint shop. Automated DAF sludge dewatering replacing a centrifuge.

2025 was a dynamic year for AMCON Europe. 🌍

From Aquatech and VOD-KA to WWEM, Pollutec, and Ecomondo, it was a privilege to meet so many of you and discuss the future of sludge dewatering.

Thank you for your partnership. Just like the ornaments on our tree, our goal remains transparent: providing reliable sludge management solutions that make your operations easier.

📢 Holiday Closing Notice:
To allow our team to recharge, our offices will be closed from Dec 22, 2025, to Jan 4, 2026. We will be back with full energy on Jan 5, 2026.

We look forward to supporting your projects in the New Year!

✨ Wishing you peace, joy, and total peace of mind. ✨

Check out the results from our recent project at a French landfill site. We were tasked with dewatering Leachate Concentrate (a by-product of Reverse Osmosis). This implies high salinity and complex solids.
The VOLUTE™ FS Series proved to be the optimal choice, achieving a cake dryness of up to 40% DS while using minimal chemicals and energy.
It’s not just about dewatering; it’s about reducing disposal costs and simplifying operations.

The client, a landfill operator, faced the challenge of managing RO/evaporator leachate concentrate in a cost-effective and compliant manner. This highly problematic sludge, generated as a by-product of reverse osmosis and evaporation, was extremely difficult to dewater due to its high solids concen...

Live from the All Ireland Water & Wastewater Expo! 🇮🇪

We are in Dublin today supporting our partners Water Tecnik Ltd at the Leopardstown Pavilion.

It is fantastic to see the VOLUTE DUO™ taking center stage. Our New Business Development Manager, Richard Beagrie, is onsite with Adam Mackin from the Watertecnik team to demonstrate how this technology solves sludge dewatering challenges for the Irish market.

If you are visiting the show, stop by the booth to discuss your specific sludge dewatering challenges.

A big thank you to the Watertecnik team for the excellent representation.
