Driven by the spirit of “AMCON will do it as nobody else will,” we have developed proprietary technologies by addressing real challenges in the field. From VOLUTE™ to VOLUTE DUO™, AMCON brands continue to evolve through Challenge and Creativity.

VOLUTE™ is the brand name of AMCON INC.'s sludge thickeners and sludge dewatering presses. The name “VOLUTE” was inspired by the spiral shape of the screw and comes from the word “volute,” meaning a spiral or scroll. Since its launch in 1991, VOLUTE™ has continued to operate at numerous facilities in Japan and around the world.


VOLUTE DUO™ is a next-generation brand that builds on the technology of VOLUTE™ and was developed to handle a wider range of sludge characteristics. Its proprietary mechanism has been further refined to ensure stable performance even when treating sludge containing high levels of fibrous or inorganic materials.

AMCON operates in three core business fields: the development, manufacturing and sales of water treatment equipment, including sludge dewatering presses; environmental and water quality analysis; and plumbing system maintenance. Drawing on the technology and experience we have developed in the field, we provide customers in Japan and around the world with “Amenity and Convenience Beyond Expectation.”
Since our founding in 1974, we have been based in Yokohama, working to solve challenges related to water and the environment. Learn more about AMCON, including our company information, licenses and certifications, and the origin of our company name and logo.
