Independent service, not manufacturer-affiliated
Sentrimax is an independent maintenance, repair and overhaul provider. It is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by Sharples, Flottweg, Centrisys, Derrick, GEA, Alfa Laval, Tomoe, Andritz, Bird, Pieralisi, or any other centrifuge manufacturer named on this page. Brand and model names are used only to identify the equipment Sentrimax services.
Why This Page Exists
Most plants running decanter, tricanter or disc stack centrifuges did not buy every machine from the same manufacturer. Equipment arrives through acquisitions, plant expansions, and years of purchasing decisions made by people who are no longer there, and the result is a fleet with three or four different brand nameplates and no single OEM willing to service all of them. This page exists to make it fast to find the brand or model you actually have and get to the right page, or the right conversation, quickly.
Sentrimax services centrifuges from 8 to 43 inches in bowl diameter, spanning decanter, tricanter and disc stack designs, which covers the great majority of industrial machines regardless of the nameplate on them. Brand and model help narrow down the specific service history and typical wear patterns for a given machine, but bowl diameter and centrifuge type are usually the first two facts worth confirming, because they determine whether a job is even in scope before brand is discussed at all.
What Brand Actually Tells You
Brand name is a reasonable starting point for finding information, but it is not the whole picture. Two decanter centrifuges from different manufacturers, built to a similar bowl diameter and duty, share more mechanically than two machines from the same manufacturer built a decade apart on different platforms. Bearing arrangements, gearbox types, and control philosophies vary by generation and application at least as much as they vary by brand. That is part of why Sentrimax evaluates every machine on its own mechanical and electrical condition during inspection, rather than applying a one-size assumption based on the nameplate alone.

Sentrimax services many other centrifuge brands beyond this list. If your machine is not named here, that does not mean it falls outside the shop’s capability; it means the brand has not yet been given its own page.
Alfa Laval
Sentrimax repairs and overhauls Alfa Laval decanter and disc stack centrifuges, including Aldec 506 and G2-100 machines. See Alfa Laval centrifuge repair for the rotating-assembly and gearbox work performed on these models.
Sharples
Sharples decanter centrifuges, including PM-95000 machines, are serviced for rotating-assembly wear, gearbox condition and control panel work. Reparación de centrífugas Sharples covers what a typical inspection and overhaul finds on this platform.
Flottweg
Flottweg decanter and tricanter centrifuges are common in food, beverage and industrial dewatering applications. Reparación de centrífugas Flottweg describes the service Sentrimax performs on these machines.
Andritz, GEA and Bird
Andritz, GEA and Bird decanter centrifuges, including GEA Westfalia and Bird 24×60 machines, are grouped together because plants running one of these three brands frequently run more than one of them side by side. Andritz, GEA and Bird centrifuge repair covers the service scope across all three. These brands see heavy use across municipal water and wastewater treatment and industrial dewatering applications, where a mixed installation of two or three manufacturers on one site is common enough that plants often ask for all of them to be evaluated in a single inspection pass.
Solids Control Equipment: Derrick, Tomoe and SWACO-Branded Machines
Derrick and Tomoe equipment, along with SWACO-branded units such as SWACO 518 and SWACO 414 machines and Tomoe TDM-50 centrifuges, are serviced as part of Sentrimax’s solids control centrifuge capability, common in drilling mud treatment and produced water clarification. Solids control centrifuge repair covers this equipment group. Solids control equipment tends to run in harsher field conditions than a fixed municipal or industrial installation, which shows up in inspection findings as more abrasive wear on the bowl and scroll and more frequent seal and bearing attention, regardless of which of these brands is on the nameplate.
Centrisys, Pieralisi and Other Brands
Centrisys and Pieralisi decanter and disc stack centrifuges are serviced by Sentrimax but do not yet have a dedicated brand page. The same applies to any brand not named on this page: Sentrimax’s centrifuge repair and overhaul services are built around the machine’s mechanical and electrical design, not around a manufacturer relationship, so a brand’s absence from this list is not a reason to assume it falls outside Sentrimax’s scope.
What Sentrimax Checks Regardless of Brand
Every machine that comes in for inspection, whatever the nameplate says, goes through the same documented process: triage and identification, oil sampling sent for third-party analysis, disassembly and a licensed technician’s 75-point inspection, measurement of critical precision fits, and detailed annotated photos of the full machine and its parts. That consistency is what lets Sentrimax give a comparable answer across a fleet with several different brands on it, rather than a different depth of evaluation depending on which manufacturer built the machine.
Parts sourcing works the same way. Rather than depending on a single manufacturer’s parts channel, Sentrimax’s engineering services and machine shop can mill, lathe-turn and precision-grind replacement parts, or design new or reverse-engineered parts, to meet or exceed OEM specifications. That capability matters most on an older or less common brand where an OEM parts channel may be slow, expensive, or no longer active at all, and it is the same capability applied regardless of which of the brands above is on the machine.
Finding Your Model, Not Just Your Brand
A model name usually tells you more than a bare brand name does about bowl diameter, typical bearing arrangement, and gearbox configuration, all of which affect parts sourcing and inspection scope well before any brand-specific quirks come into play. Model-level detail matters more than brand name once a job actually gets scoped. Machines Sentrimax has worked on include, among others, GEA Westfalia and Hutchison Hayes decanters, SWACO 518 and SWACO 414 units, Lynx 40 and Lynx 500 centrifuges, Alfa Laval Aldec 506 and G2-100 machines, Sharples PM-95000 units, Tomoe TDM-50 centrifuges, Bird 24×60 decanters, and Sumitomo CYCLO gearboxes used across several of these platforms. If your nameplate lists a model not shown anywhere on this site, send a photo of it; brand and model together are usually enough to confirm scope before anything ships.
Brands Across Industries
These brands and models turn up across every industry Sentrimax serves, not just one. Municipal water and wastewater plants running sludge dewatering and biosolid management, energy and utilities operations handling produced water clarification and drilling mud treatment, food and beverage plants separating dairy or brewery process streams, and mining operations dewatering tailings and ore slurry all run some combination of the brands listed above. A brand’s presence in one industry does not limit where else it shows up, which is part of why brand alone is a weaker predictor of a machine’s condition than its actual duty cycle and maintenance history.
Requesting Service on a Specific Brand or Model
Whichever brand or model you run, the process for getting it evaluated is the same: photos of the nameplate and the visible condition of the machine, a description of the symptom or the reason for the inspection, and Sentrimax’s team can give an initial scope before the centrifuge is shipped to one of its three facilities in Mansfield, Texas; Edmonton, Alberta; or Kitchener, Ontario. The same intake process applies whether the machine on the truck says Sharples, Alfa Laval, GEA, or a brand not named anywhere on this page.
For a plant weighing whether to keep a process running while a specific machine is inspected or repaired, regardless of its brand, Sentrimax’s centrifuge rental options cover how a temporary unit can bridge that gap without waiting on brand-specific parts or scheduling. Balancing, welding and machining capability, along with the controls work described elsewhere on this site, are applied the same way across every brand named on this page, which is ultimately why brand identification matters less here than getting the right machine to the right shop.
Preguntas frecuentes
Is Sentrimax authorized by any of these centrifuge manufacturers?
No. Sentrimax is an independent service provider and is not authorized, affiliated with, or endorsed by Sharples, Flottweg, Centrisys, Derrick, GEA, Alfa Laval, Tomoe, Andritz, Bird, Pieralisi, or any other manufacturer named on this site. Brand names are used only to identify the equipment serviced.
What if my centrifuge brand isn't listed on this page?
A brand's absence from this page does not mean it falls outside Sentrimax's capability. The list reflects which brands currently have a dedicated page, not the full range of equipment serviced. Send photos of your machine's nameplate to confirm scope.
Can Sentrimax service a plant running multiple centrifuge brands under one visit?
Yes. Sentrimax works across brands rather than specializing in a single manufacturer's ecosystem, which is useful for a plant with a mixed fleet that would otherwise need a different vendor for each nameplate on the floor.
Does Sentrimax use OEM parts?
Sentrimax builds parts packages that meet or exceed OEM specifications as part of its documented repair process, machined to OEM tolerances. This is separate from any claim of manufacturer authorization, which Sentrimax does not hold or represent.
How do I identify the exact model of my centrifuge?
The model is usually stamped on a nameplate attached to the machine frame or bowl housing, alongside the brand name and a serial number. A clear photo of that nameplate is normally enough for Sentrimax to confirm the exact model and scope the work.
