The problem

A Sharples centrifuge was received for repair and rebuild after losing separation performance. As with most Sharples units returning for service, worn bearings, eroded surfaces, and an out-of-balance rotating assembly called for a documented inspection followed by a full shop rebuild.

Scope of work

  • Non-destructive teardown and inspection (NDTI) with a documented condition report
  • Bowl and conveyor reconditioning
  • Weld repair of mechanical, chemical, and erosion damage
  • Wear-part replacement (o-rings, gaskets, bearings)
  • In-house fabrication of hard-to-source parts as needed
  • Static and dynamic balancing plus a full test run
