Located in the southwest of Okayama Prefecture, Yakage, which prospered as a post town along the old Sanyo Road, is a lovely town full of humanity, blessed with historic streetscapes and rich nature.
There are five treatment plants in the town, and VOLUTE™ dewatering machines are employed in four of them. This includes the Yakage Sewage Treatment Center, which is the town’s largest public sewage treatment plant with two OD tank systems.
The first VOLUTE™ Dewatering Press was installed at the Yakage Town Sewage Treatment Center in 1999. At the time, the VOLUTE™ Dewatering Press had rarely been used in sewerage applications. Yakage Town was quick to recognize its advanced features and decided to adopt the technology.
Seventeen years have passed since then, and it is time to renew the machine.
Customer Testimonial
“We use products from other manufacturers as well, but VOLUTE™ stands out for its ease of use. For example, the screenings basket is designed to be light enough for me to carry on my own. We feel that the machine has been thoughtfully designed with the needs of the people who operate it every day in mind. We are very pleased to hear that another VOLUTE™ unit will be installed here.”
After 17 years of service, the customer once again chose the VOLUTE™ Dewatering Press.
