Crematech B.V., based in Leerdam, develops and produces electric human and pet cremators, with filtration, heat recovery and ash-processing equipment. The company originated from furnace builder Blaauw Products and also offers natural-gas cremators. Its electric equipment uses thermal cremation chambers, not alkaline hydrolysis; buyers should confirm current models, utility requirements and service coverage directly with the company.
Crematech is based in Netherlands and is active in the following markets: Netherlands; wider sales and service coverage to confirm. The company is listed in our directory for human cremators, pet & animal cremators, cremulators / processors, filtration & abatement. Typical energy options include electric, natural gas, although availability depends on the specific model and your local regulations.
- Electric human and pet cremators
- Filtration and heat-recovery integration
- Cremulator and ash-workstation equipment
These points are drawn from public information and from how the company presents itself. They are not an endorsement. Strengths that matter most depend on your situation, so weigh them against your own priorities for capacity, emissions, energy use and service.
Whichever manufacturer you consider, a consistent set of questions helps you compare like-for-like. We recommend asking every supplier for written answers to the following:
- Which models suit our expected daily volume, maximum coffin size and bariatric requirements?
- What is the measured energy or fuel consumption per cremation at our volume, and under what operating pattern?
- Which emission limits can you guarantee in writing, and is abatement included or optional?
- What is the expected refractory life, and what do partial and full relines cost in time and money?
- Where is the nearest qualified service engineer, and what response times are guaranteed?
- How long will spare parts and control software be supported?
- Can you provide references for the same model operating in our country for more than five years?
- What training do you provide for operators, and is it accredited?
Purchase price is only part of the picture. Over a typical twenty-year life, energy, refractory maintenance, filtration consumables, service contracts, emissions testing and downtime can exceed the original investment. Ask the manufacturer to complete a lifetime cost table based on your volumes, and compare it with at least two other suppliers. Our tender builder provides a structure for this.
Also clarify what is excluded: building works, utilities connections, stack modifications, permits, removal of old equipment and commissioning tests are common sources of additional cost if not specified clearly.
Downtime at a crematorium causes real distress for families and funeral directors. Check whether the manufacturer has its own engineers in your country or works through agents, how quickly parts can be delivered, and whether remote diagnostics are available. A preventive maintenance contract with clear response times is strongly recommended.
If you are considering a manufacturer from another region, ask how installation, commissioning and warranty service will be handled locally. Many international manufacturers work with experienced partners, but the arrangement should be clear before you sign.

Information on this page is compiled from public sources and may change. Please confirm all details with the manufacturer. Manufacturers who wish to correct or update their profile are welcome to contact us.
Ask how long manufacturing, delivery and installation take for the proposed model, and what the manufacturer needs from your building contractor: foundations, openings for delivery, utilities connections, stack and ventilation. Clarify who is responsible for the refractory dry-out, commissioning and emission testing, and how operator training is scheduled. A clear project plan avoids surprises and keeps families and funeral directors informed about when the crematorium will be available.
Emission limits and energy expectations tend to tighten over time. Ask whether the proposed equipment can be upgraded with additional filtration, heat recovery or alternative energy sources such as renewable electricity or biogas in the future. A cremator that can evolve with regulation protects your investment and your reputation in the community.
