If you were to take two identical centrifuges that ran the same material, the same pounds per hour, and the same number of hours each day and the only difference between the two was how well they were maintained, what differences would you see?
The Importance of Centrifuge Maintenance
Given the example above, the machine that is well-maintained will perform better, and it will do so over a longer period of time. Remember, your investments are worth taking care of. Here are two ways centrifuge maintenance extends the life of your equipment.
Supporting Optimal Performance
Across the board, maintenance is meant to keep things running smoothly. It doesn't take long for the signs and symptoms of poor maintenance to show up in the separation process. When you're getting sub-par product at the end of a run, it's a sign your centrifuge isn't able to handle its current flow rate.
A maintenance check can quickly get things back on track and have your output back to optimal.
Avoiding Emergency Service Needs
When routine maintenance needs go unnoticed or unattended, larger issues with equipment can result. Oftentimes, problems that become serious and require immediate attention could have been prevented by thorough centrifuge maintenance. Keeping your equipment well-maintained can prevent potentially dangerous situations and emergency service visits.
Because you won't have to stop processing unexpectedly, you won't lose nearly as much production time to a maintenance visit as you would to emergency service needs. In this way, preventing emergency centrifuge service can save you a lot of time and money in the long run.
Extend Equipment Life
Proper centrifuge maintenance can add years of productive life to your equipment. Whether you're looking to improve your separation process, optimize your flow rate, or extend the life of your equipment, maintenance is a large part of the answer. Taking care of your equipment makes it possible to get many more years of productive life out of it.
