05.07.2017 News Application of Inspection port In this month’s issue we would like to let you all know about the inspection ports. At various points throughout the dewatering zone on the cylinder we have made significant changes to the assembly. There are two part fixed rings incorporated to the design. The way these have been developed allows us to open and remove part of the fixed thus allowing us to see inside the cylinder and assess the condition of the screw Please have a look at the following pictures. The part marked in red circle in the photo above is half fixed ring and inspection port. Half fixed rings are put in left picture (normal state) and removed in right one. The purpose of attachment of half fixed ring is to allow us to assess the condition of the screw without actually having to strip the unit down. Another benefit of this is if the unit has been overloaded and become clogged, we can actually open the inspection and remove the excess sludge still inside the cylinder In case that clogging happens because of changing of sludge concentration, it is possible to scrape sludge stuck to screw and splash water on hardened sludge through the inspection port by removing half fixed ring. The scraper for removing sludge is attached tool. (this is called “MITSUHARU”, the name of inventor of scraper) Since half fixed ring was introduced in VOLUTE™ , many users have said that the operation has become easier. We are glad they were happy with that. If these fixed rings are not incorporated in VOLUTE™ installed in your plant, it is possible to attach half fixed rings in next replacement of cylinder. So if you want, please don’t hesitate to contact us. go to list

01.03.2016 News The Inaugural Annual AMCON Conference 2016 We here in AMCON are very proud to have hosted the first ever annual AMCON Conference for our colleagues, partners and clients between the 22nd February and the 25th February. It is a big step forward for us as a company, but also as we believe for our partners and the sludge dewatering industry. These couple of days were filled with presentations and debates about how we can provide better, more innovative, convenient and tailor-made technology and service for our customers around the world. We spoke about present and future upgrades to the Volute Dewatering Press – the new inspection ports, Siemens panels and others. Another segment dealt with servicing our technologies and offering service packs to our customers – guaranteeing years of regular maintenance and overhaul servicing of Volute but above all providing an even more care-free operation to our customers. Among other things, we talked about the possibilities of providing different solutions – like package plants, mobile, skid-mounted or containerized units. We were joined by two guest speakers, CEO Alexey Yuskin from Eco Potential Ltd., who told us about the market in Russia and Managing Director Dave Garton from ATANA Ltd., who spoke about polymers and the partnership between chemicals and engineering. We not only managed to learn a lot, but also had quite a bit of fun during our International Bowling Competition. Our winners were: 1st place T&A Mämmelä/ Pöyry from Finland, 2nd place EVH from Slovakia and 3rd place was taken by Evergreen Engineering from the Republic of Ireland (second and third place were actually tied, so the fastest finished received second place).

29.05.2015 News Impressions from the VOD-KA Exhibition in Prague, 19. – 21.5.2015 Amcon Europe has been exhibiting the VOLUTE™ Dewatering Press for the second time at the VOD-KA Exhibition in Prague this year and we are glad that this year brought more visitors to the event as well as to our stand. The VOD-KA exhibition is an event aimed at water supply and sewage and technologies and services in this field. And that is why being present is a priority to us. Our exhibition area and a more sophisticated design of the stand were a benefit to our visitors and a very effective move for us as well. In the field of sludge dewatering in the Czech Republic is VOLUTE™, the self-cleaning sludge treatment technology with low operational costs and easy maintenance, quite a new and unexplored solution. We had the following models on display on VOD-KA: Richard Beagrie and Jan Václav at the AMCON Europe stand at VOD-KA 2015. ♦ ES-051 – the smallest dewatering machine in the world, one that attracted the attention of many visitors. It is suitable for small waste water treatment plants with PE 50 to 500. ♦ EC–201 – a model from this year’s newest EC series, where a conditioning tank has been added in order to reach the highest quality of filtrate after dewatering. It rightfully earned the enthusiasm of visitors and offers for immediate purchase during the event. The PE of this model is 3000 to 6000. ♦ ES-351 – The model with the highest cylinder diameter (350mm) in our supply. It is suitable for average to large waste water treatment plants with PE up to 30 000 and it is also suitable for industrial WWTPs with a higher concentration of oil in the sludge, thanks to its self-cleaning construction Based on affirmative reactions we can say, that also our new range of service packs (regular inspections, maintenance, sludge cake analysis, etc.) and post-warranty service will find its place in the market and WWTP owners and operators have very positively taken notice of this expansion of our offered services. We are very satisfied with this year’s VOD-KA Exhibition and we are already looking forward to next year! Many thanks to all our visitors, we are looking forward to our future cooperation.
