A worn decanter centrifuge — rebuilt and rebalanced.

Left: as received, worn and out of balance. Right: rebuilt, rebalanced, and repainted, ready to run.
The Challenge
A decanter centrifuge had lost throughput and cake dryness on a continuous process line. The scroll flights and bowl were worn, the bearings were shot, and the whole rotating assembly was running with high vibration — the kind of problem that only gets worse the longer it stays in service.
What We Did
We fully tore down the rotating assembly, then rebuilt and hardfaced the scroll conveyor and repaired the bowl. New bearings and seals went in, and the backdrive gearbox was serviced. The complete assembly was high-speed dynamically balanced and put through a run test before it left the shop.
The Result
The centrifuge went back to rated throughput and cake dryness, running smooth on the test stand and documented with a written condition report — ready to drop back in and run.
