What Amotec does

Amotec NV is a privately held Belgian industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 2000 and headquartered in Deerlijk, Belgium, where it operates a 5,000 m² in-house production facility. The company designs, manufactures, and installs custom dust and fume extraction systems for industrial customers, with a portfolio spanning four core filter cabinet lines (Amovac/Amojet, Doorblaasfilter, Sluisfilter, Kettingfilter) covering flow rates from 1,600 to 100,000+ m³/h, complemented by ATEX-certified fans, cyclones, ductwork, briquetting presses, sanding tables, spray booths, extraction walls, and welding arms.

The company's underlying technology relies on ATEX-compliant mechanical and electromechanical engineering — including frequency-regulated variable-speed fans, integrated automatic fire suppression, and dust-specific filtration architectures such as the chain-filter innovation — rather than software or digital systems. Distribution is conducted through a direct, sales-led model with dedicated sales engineers who provide technical advisory and custom solution design, supported by an in-house installation team and channel partnership with Geovent for welding smoke and exhaust gas solutions.

Amotec generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of custom-designed extraction equipment, complemented by professional installation services, technical audit engagements on existing installations, and a small second-hand equipment stream. Pricing is quote-based with a deposit/milestone billing structure (30% on order, 60% on shipping readiness, balance on completion). The company serves three primary vertical segments — woodworking, metalworking, and plastics processing — exclusively within Belgium, with multilingual (Dutch/French) commercial operations and a leadership bench led by CEO Geert Viaene and COO Claude Buddaert.

Products and services

• Amovac – Amojet Filter Cabinets High-quality filter cabinets with intelligent features and flexible design for optimal air quality, including variable speed control via frequency converter and vacuum regulator, filter bag cleaning via ATEX vibrating motors or compressed air, integrated automatic fire extinguishing system, and flexible indoor/outdoor installation with heat recovery. Flow rates of 1,600 to 8,000 m³/h, designed for industrial dust extraction in wood, metal, and plastics processing facilities.
• Doorblaasfilter (Blow-through Filter) Custom dust extraction filter with intelligent dust transport via ATEX high-efficiency fan with frequency converter and vacuum regulator. Features ATEX vibrating motors for filter bag cleaning, integrated fire valves and non-return valves, optional automatic fire extinguishing system, and indoor or outdoor installation with heat recovery. Flow rates of 5,000 to 22,000 m³/h.
• Sluisfilter (Airlock Filter) High-quality filtration and versatility for industrial environments with under-pressure or over-pressure installation options. Features frequency-controlled ATEX high-efficiency fans for automatic speed adjustment, cascade starting, ATEX vibrating motors or compressed air for filter cleaning, integrated fire valves and non-return valves with optional fire suppression.
