Scheduling service for your equipment can be a daunting task. Whether or not you've suffered an equipment failure, fitting service into your schedule isn't always easy. This is a situation equipment operators know all too well. That’s why at our business, we’ve made scheduling routine and emergency maintenance as easy as can be.

When you service with us, you can expect results that are just as streamlined as your production process. We strive to get you back to being fully operational as soon as possible.

No doubt about it, replacing your current centrifuge with a new machine is a large undertaking. Not only does it involve the capital investment of new equipment, it also typically involves reconfiguring feed lines and replacing your baseplate. And in case you're not familiar, replacing a centrifuge baseplate is a big job all on its own. It involves breaking the existing one out, pouring fresh concrete, and waiting for the curing process. And that all comes after you've worked out the details on the business end. Luckily, there's a way to skip this entire process while getting the equipment upgrade you need. 

Remanufactured centrifuges have numerous distinct advantages over a refurbished or new one. For starters, a remanufactured centrifuge is less expensive than new and better than used. When you hear about used, refurbished, or reconditioned centrifuges, those are different from remanufactured. And the difference is in the details.

At Separators our technicians perform centrifuge maintenance services on site at customer facilities. By performing minor centrifuge services out in the field, equipment only needs to shut down for a short period of time and be back up and running in a matter of hours. While performing on-site maintenance brings a lot of benefits to our customers, it also can seem confusing to prepare for.

That’s why we created the Pre-Maintenance Checklist.

Wondering what it takes to prepare for an on-site visit with our service technicians? We’ve put together a checklist detailing each step in that process.

When a Separators Inc. service technician travels to perform centrifuge maintenance in your facilities, having the right machinery and equipment in place helps ensure the service goes off without a hitch. I’ll detail what you need to know about machinery and equipment below, but before I go any further, know that you can get your copy of the Pre-Maintenance Checklist here. 

We’ve put together a checklist our customers can use to prepare for an on-site visit from our service technicians. Separators service technicians travel all across the United States to perform centrifuge maintenance in our customers’ facilities. Because we perform service on-site, we check on and verify a handful of items before the day of the service visit. Before I go any further, know that you can get your copy of the Pre-Maintenance Checklist here.

Minor and major centrifuge service visits are staples for keeping your production line running. Because these visits require our technician to complete all of the work at your facility, there are a few things you’ll need to prepare for prior to the day of your service.

Here at Separators we have service technicians, and we have a technical service group. Service technicians are responsible for providing centrifuge service and maintenance to our customers all across the United States. They make our exceptional service a reality, and without them, Separators wouldn’t be the company it is today.

There are endless ways to decrease and improve your separation process efficiency. As you know, centrifuges are rated by the volume of material they process per hour. If your centrifuge is rated at 40,000 lbs. per hour, that's the greatest amount of material it can process efficiently.
