We offer a wide array of services at Separators - from custom automation technology and control panels to fully remanufactured equipment and training. But more than anything else, we are a service company. Meeting both the day-to-day and unexpected needs of centrifuge equipment is at the core of what we do.

Both routine maintenance and occasional service are essential to keeping your equipment running optimally. This is to say, centrifuge service cannot be skipped or avoided, but it can be made easy.

An unbalanced centrifuge is a recipe for disaster. Centrifuges spin at very high speeds, and they do so for hours on end. Some facilities run their centrifuges 24/7, only pausing for CIP procedures and the occasional service visit. When a bowl starts to get off balance – and they always do at some point or another – they continue to get more and more off balance as time goes on.

And the further from balanced an industrial centrifuge becomes, the more inefficient and dangerous it becomes. So, what do you do? You get your bowl balanced.

A lot of the time, businesses focus on what they do and who they do it for. What they do is usually offer products and services, and who they serve is the individuals or businesses that use those products and services. But successful companies don’t stop there. Instead, they take time to look at how they do what they do and why they do it, and they invest in those ideas.

Finding a trustworthy centrifuge service provider is important, but how is it done? With the right approach to centrifuge service, your facility will run more smoothly and your final product will be of higher quality. Sometimes, it can be difficult to know if a service provider is trustworthy until after you’ve started working together. To help you figure it out sooner, here are a few qualities to look for.

Time is one of those things we never seem to have enough of. Even (or should I say especially) facilities that run 24 hours a day could use more time. Sometimes, the need to get more and more done in the same number of hours can make it even more difficult to make time for maintenance. Pausing operations for preventative care can be stressful, but ignoring those needs can lead to an even greater loss of time and productivity.

Keeping separation equipment running and functioning at optimal levels is critical to many applications, and working with a qualified service provider can make all the difference. Here are five things to look for when you’re choosing a centrifuge service provider.

In many facilities, the centrifuge is critical to daily operations. And if separation equipment is not running at its best, other parts of the production process are impacted. In the event of a breakdown, catastrophic or not, the entire facility is affected. Having a qualified service technician inspect and maintain your equipment can keep your production pace moving and help you avoid costly downtime.

When your equipment has aged out of its OEM service contract and you’re seeking a new company to handle your centrifuge service needs, how do you determine if a company is reputable?

As a business with multiple offerings, we do have one core offering: service. Because it's at the core of what we do, centrifuge service receives the most time, attention, and resources. We've taken the time to hone our approach to centrifuge service, and our customers love the dedication we put into our service.
