The purchasing of new plant and equipment is every plant managers ideal situation, but sometimes, especially in the present economic climate, very demanding delivery times and also capital expenditure, can make the choice of refurbished and upgraded equipment become extremely attractive.
As a lot of engineers are very aware, equipment built 10, 20. or even 30 years ago was built to last, and unfortunately for some OEM’s, this is exactly what they are doing.
This leaves a niche in the market for companies like Centrifuge Engineering Services Ltd to offer full refurbishments, and upgraded Centrifuges to customers at more competitive prices, and also greatly reduced ‘lead times’ in comparison to purchasing new equipment.
3 x Broadbent T46A Basket Centrifuges, fully refurbished, and upgraded from hydraulic drive to VFD electric drive, and completely coated in ‘Anti-Static ECTFE Halar’.
The total work took approx. 10 weeks from finding the donor machines to witness testing in the factory.
As you can see from the picture right it was quite a feat to get them to the finished item.
Centrifuge Engineering Services Ltd can also offer a full refurbishment, or upgrade on your existing plant and equipment, or we can supply the full package if you require replacement or additional Centrifuges.
Which ever choice you make we would bring your Centrifuge into the 21st Century both mechanically and electrically, using modern ‘Touch Screen, technology, and utilising which ever site standards you operate for the choice of PLC’s, Inverters, and drive motors. We would listen to your requirements and then offer our most beneficial solution to meet both your budget and time scales.
We are available to visit site and look at your existing equipment, and discuss with your engineers, operators, and directors the advantages of upgrading ‘obsolete parts’ that could be quite a problem if they were to break down. We offer upgrades using standard ‘off-the-shelf’ parts thus eliminating major downtime if any valve should fault.

Centrifuge Engineering Services Ltd can offer fully refurbished Centrifuge in most sizes, materials and manufacture within 6 weeks from receipt of order, this includes a full upgrade to VFD and new Controls. |
