Start with whichever symptom appeared first, since it is often the root cause and the others are downstream effects. A bearing that has been running hot for weeks, for example, can eventually show up as vibration and a torque trip as well. Fix or rule out the earliest symptom before chasing the later ones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\nCan I keep running the centrifuge while I investigate a symptom?<\/summary>\n\n
It depends on the symptom and how fast it is changing. A slow drift in cake dryness over weeks is usually safe to keep running while you test process adjustments. Rapidly worsening vibration, a hot bearing, or a repeating torque trip are not \u2014 see the stop conditions above.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\nDoes Sentrimax only work on decanter centrifuges?<\/summary>\n\n
No. Sentrimax services decanter, tricanter and disc stack centrifuges from 8 to 43 inches in bowl diameter, across major brands. This troubleshooting cluster focuses on decanters because vibration, separation, bearing, scroll, torque and imbalance symptoms are most commonly reported on that design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\nDo I need to know which brand of centrifuge I have before contacting Sentrimax?<\/summary>\n\n
It helps but is not required. Sentrimax services all major centrifuge brands and models as an independent provider, not as an authorized dealer for any one manufacturer.

Bowl and differential speed, feed rate, polymer type and dose, how long the symptom has been present, and whether it appeared suddenly or gradually.

Decanter centrifuge problems almost always show up as one of six symptoms: vibration, poor separation, bearing failure, scroll or conveyor wear, torque and overload trips, or bowl imbalance.
