Gearbox Repair
The gearbox sets the differential between bowl and scroll. When it wears, separation suffers. We rebuild the gearbox and restore correct differential and torque.
Do you repair decanter centrifuge gearboxes?
Yes. Centrifuge World repairs and rebuilds centrifuge gearboxes, including decanter back-drive and planetary gearboxes and Sumitomo units. We inspect, replace worn gears, bearings, and seals, fabricate parts when needed, and test the gearbox so differential and torque are restored.

Frequently asked questions
What gearboxes do you repair?
Decanter back-drive gearboxes, planetary and cyclo units, and Sumitomo gearboxes, among others.
How do I know the gearbox is the problem?
Loss of differential, unusual noise, amperage changes, or metal in the oil often point to the gearbox; inspection confirms it.
