So, it’s basically a used piece of equipment, right? Not quite. We know it can be a bit confusing, but if you’re looking for a comparison, a remanufactured centrifuge is much closer to new than it is to used.
The remanufacturing process includes a full disassembly of the centrifuge, where all parts are cleaned and either repaired or replaced. Every bolt, disc, spring, valve, and frame component is tirelessly inspected and made like-new. The remanufacturing process is so intensive, so valuable, we wrote an eBook about it.

The functionality, quality, and warranty of a remanufactured centrifuge is equal to that of an OEM. The price? It’s much more reasonable. To get a fully remanufactured centrifuge, you have two options: purchase one from us outright or send your centrifuge to our shop. Either way, you’ll receive a shiny, practically new centrifuge in excellent working condition.
Our Quick Delivery Program was created to decrease the downtime facilities in need of newly remanufactured centrifuges face. Quick Delivery is also ideal for facilities in need of replacement equipment that won’t disrupt their current physical structures or workflow. A fully remanufactured centrifuge can meet all of these needs.
We’ve compiled a handful of popular centrifuges that are available for Quick Delivery below. Please note we may have inventory beyond what’s listed here. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, contact us.
