World premiere at IFAT: Innovative decanter for sludge dewatering

Flottweg will be presenting a pioneering new solution for sludge dewatering at IFAT in Munich, the world’s leading trade fair for environmental technologies. The innovation combines enhanced performance, maximum adaptability, and even more user‑friendly operation thanks to its human‑centered design.

At the heart of the development lies a significant performance enhancement: the new machine enables far more efficient dewatering of industrial and municipal sludge, setting new benchmarks in energy savings and process optimization.

 

New machine features take efficiency to a new level

Thanks to the integrated Performance Boost, operators benefit from higher throughput and improved separation results – combined with reduced resource consumption. Another highlight is the Human-Centered Design: the machine has been thoroughly tailored to user needs, simplifying both day to day operation and maintenance.

With its Flex Concept, Flottweg also offers maximum adaptability through a modular design: the machine can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems and configured precisely to meet diverse customer requirements.

 

Product innovations shaping the future

The new sludge dewatering machine exemplifies Flott­weg’s strategic focus: innovative product solutions that set new technical standards and draw on nearly 70 years of deep industry expertise. 

“With this new development, we demonstrate both our innovative strength and our commitment to sustainable solutions in sludge dewatering. Through the combination of intelligent performance enhancement, user-friendly design, and maximum configurability, this machine represents a real step forward for municipal and industrial plant operators. Thanks to its modular construction, the machine can be tailored exactly to the individual needs of each operator, providing the right solution for every application – customized, flexible, and future‑proof. We look forward to showing our visitors at IFAT 2026 in Munich how Flottweg is advancing sludge dewatering technology to the next level,” explains Dominik Breuherr, Product Manager at Flottweg.
