Sharples centrifuge repair & rebuilds

Sharples decanter and basket centrifuges lose separation efficiency over time as bearings wear, surfaces erode, and rotating assemblies fall out of balance. Centrifuge World reconditions and repairs Sharples equipment so it continues to deliver high throughput and clean separation while reducing unplanned process downtime.

Every job begins with a thorough inspection. When you schedule service, we can dispatch a truck to your facility, transport the machine to our shop, and perform a complete non-destructive teardown and inspection (NDTI). You then receive a detailed condition report with recommended repairs and a list of the parts required to complete them, so you can make an informed decision before work proceeds.

Once the scope is approved, our service engineers rebuild the centrifuge: repairing weld areas damaged by mechanical, chemical, or erosion attack; refitting wear parts such as o-rings and gaskets; replacing worn or damaged components; carrying out approved upgrades; and balancing the rotating assembly statically and dynamically. Before the machine ships back, we complete a full test run to confirm it operates at peak performance.

We also maintain a large inventory of parts for Sharples centrifuges. When a component is hard to find or carries a long lead time, our team can reverse-engineer and fabricate it in-house, often with a short turnaround, keeping your equipment out of extended backlog waits.

When a breakdown can't wait, Centrifuge World offers emergency and rush repair support. Our shops in Houston, Texas and the Chicago, Illinois area are equipped to troubleshoot maintenance issues and return your Sharples centrifuge to service quickly.
