When it comes to cremation equipment, longevity is a necessity. Crematories today face increasing demand, tighter environmental regulations, and rising expectations around operational efficiency and safety. Not all cremators are designed to withstand these pressures.
At Facultatieve Technologies (FT), our systems are engineered for performance, reliability, and long-term return on investment. The FT III cremator is purpose-built to meet the needs of today’s high-volume, compliance-focused crematory operations.
Cremation vs. Incineration: The Critical Difference
Many systems on the market today are modified incinerators with limited combustion control. These units often require mid-cycle repositioning of the body, cooldown periods between cases, and excessive fuel use. They put strain on your operators and your budget.
FT’s cremators are different. Our systems use advanced PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) technology to dynamically control oxygen and temperature throughout the cycle. Once the chamber reaches 1030°F, the process becomes largely self-sustaining—no repositioning, no cooldown required, and minimal fuel input. The result is safer, faster, and more consistent cremations.
A cremator’s lifespan stretches over 20+ years. The smartest investment is one that saves you time, money, and headaches across that span. FT’s equipment promises:
- Fuel Efficiency: FT systems can reduce fuel consumption by up to 70% compared to traditional systems. Because our cremators reuse retained heat and adjust airflow intelligently, customers report gas savings of up to 50% per cremation.
- Labor Savings: FT’s automated loading systems and touchscreen interface streamline operations. With turnaround times as low as 75-90 minutes, our systems can handle up to six cremations in a nine-hour day, while most competitors require 12-hour shifts to meet the same volume. That translates to hundreds of hours—and thousands of dollars—in annual labor savings.
- Longevity and Low Maintenance: Our systems are built for long-term durability. Hearth floors last up to 3,500 cremations; brickwork up to 6,000. Routine preventative maintenance is simple and quick. Clients who’ve switched to FT report saving over $100,000 in maintenance over 10 years.
Safer for Operators
FT equipment isn’t just efficient, it’s safer. Our automated loading eliminates the need for operators to manually insert containers into high-heat chambers, significantly reducing the risk of injury. The High-Speed Cremulator and Ash Transfer Cabinet provide a fully enclosed, dust-free, and low-noise environment for remains processing—reducing exposure to airborne particles, noise, and sharp debris. Even our exterior surfaces are designed to remain cool to the touch.
The Bottom Line
FT cremators may cost more upfront but our clients recoup that investment within 14 to 18 months. After that, it’s pure profit, backed by superior performance, safety, and peace of mind.
