Bird centrifuge repair & rebuilds

Centrifuge World specializes in Bird decanter centrifuge repair and services. We repair all types of Bird and Bird/Andritz centrifuges, from high-speed Bird decanters to pushers and peelers. Our shops in Houston, Texas and the Chicago, Illinois area are equipped to restore your equipment to perform like the day it left the factory.

Bird centrifuges, sometimes referred to as Andritz Bird decanter centrifuges, are rugged industrial machines valued for process flexibility, automation, and chemical resistance. They are straightforward to set up and operate, have a compact footprint, and carry low running costs, which is why so many remain in service across demanding applications.

Every repair begins with a non-destructive teardown and inspection (NDTI). Our highly skilled service engineers document the machine's condition and build a detailed plan to fully restore it. From there, our rebuild scope covers restoring all parts to original manufacturer specification, rebuilding and hard-surfacing conveyors, rebuilding gearboxes and drive assemblies, dynamically balancing the bowl and conveyor, cleaning and repairing frames and casing assemblies, testing the centrifuge at optimal service speed, and repairing or modifying electrical controls as required.

We also supply components for Bird centrifuges. When a part is difficult to locate or carries a long lead time, our team can reverse-engineer and fabricate the item you need in-house, often within a few days, keeping your equipment out of extended backlog waits.

A note on the brand's history: Bird Machine Company was acquired by Baker Hughes in 1989, merged with Ketema Process Equipment in 1996, and was acquired by Andritz AG in 2003. That lineage is why Bird decanters are now serviced as part of the broader Andritz Separation family.
