Canada and the United States are powered by heavy industry. In 2023, Canada’s oil sands extraction contributed over 1.74% of the nation’s GDP, while conventional crude oil and gas extraction added another 1.52%. The country also reached a record high in oil exports, averaging 4.8 million barrels per day, with the United States purchasing 192.9 million metric tons. Meanwhile, in the United States, federal revenue from energy production on public lands and waters totaled $16.4 billion in 2024 — the fourth-highest figure recorded since 1982. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. From wastewater treatment to food production, industries across both nations rely heavily on centrifuges to keep operations running smoothly, efficiently, and profitably.

At Sentrimax Centrifuges, we understand how vital your centrifuge is to your operation. When it goes down, everything grinds to a halt. Your costs skyrocket, production stops, and just like that, your growth freezes.

That’s why we do more than fix centrifuges. We upgrade them to help your business grow stronger, faster, and smarter. 

Here’s how we do it.

1. We Jump in Real Quick 

Every second your centrifuge is down, you are bleeding money. In industries like oil, wastewater, and food production, even one hour of downtime can cost thousands. 

According to a 2024 report by Siemens, the cost of an idle production line in a heavy industry plant is $59 million, 1.6 times higher than in 2019. That’s not something you mess with, and we know that.

That’s the reason our experts respond quickly. With Teams based in Alberta, Ontario and Texas when you call, we can get to you fast. We do both on-site and off-site repairs, and we are ready for emergencies 24/7. 

2. We Do Honest Work, No Games

Too many repair companies push upgrades you don’t need or slap on patchwork fixes that break again in a month or so. That’s not us. We built Sentrimax Centrifuges on honesty. 

When we check your equipment, we give it to you straight. If a part can be repaired, we won’t replace it. If something small could turn into a big problem, we’ll tell you right away​.

3. Built-In Patented Upgrades

Your centrifuge may be working fine, but is “fine” good enough for your demands? We have developed exclusive patented upgrades that turn “fine” into fantastic. These aren’t generic parts. They are engineered in-house to handle high heat, heavy loads, and long shifts common in many heavy industries​. 

Our upgrades improve energy use, reduce wear, and extend the life of your equipment. One of our clients, Basin Coal Mine, saw a full year of zero unplanned downtime after installing a 40” dia. x 140” long mobile centrifuge. 

Before Sentrimax Centrifuge came into play, Basin Coal Mine used a belt press to process tailings generated by the coal washing plant, which operated at an average feed rate of 200 tonnes per hour of ore. However, this system got frequently clogged with mud, forcing the plant to halt operations.

Our new 40” dia. x 140” long mobile centrifuge offered the advantage of more efficient solid-liquid separation and reduced polymer consumption, which allowed the mine to process the tailings without the buildup of solids. That, in turn, meant the mine didn’t have to halt production. 

4. We Are ISO-Certified

We are an ISO-certified repair company. That means every service, repair, and test we offer meets strict international standards for quality and consistency​.

This certification ensures that:

  • You get reliable, top-tier service every time
  • We follow strict protocols for safety and performance
  • Your repairs are done right the first time

Trust matters in a high-risk, high-stakes industry. Our ISO certification helps us earn that trust, job after job.

5. Third-Party Testing You Can Trust

You wouldn’t let your car mechanic grade their own work, right? The same goes for centrifuges. That’s why we offer third-party testing.

We bring in unbiased, expert evaluations to make sure your centrifuge is running right. Our tests catch small issues before they turn into shutdowns. We use advanced tools like vibration analysis, load testing, and non-destructive testing to spot trouble.

Whether it’s OSHA compliance, EPA standards, or state regulations, we make sure you are covered.

6. Real Guarantees That Actually Mean Something

In this industry, trust is everything. That’s why we stand behind our work with a no-nonsense satisfaction guarantee. If something is not right, we make it right. No finger-pointing. No long wait times. Just honest support that puts you first. 

We don’t believe in passing the buck or making you jump through hoops. You trusted us to fix your centrifuge, and we take that seriously. This kind of guarantee matters even more if it is your first time working with us. 

It takes the pressure off and shows that we are confident in what we do. You shouldn’t have to second-guess the service you are paying for. So, when we say, “We’ll take care of it,” we mean it. That’s how we earn long-term partners, not just one-time customers.

7. We Hire Only Skilled Technicians

A flashy company logo or a big service van doesn’t mean much if the person doing the work doesn’t know your equipment inside and out. In other words, we only bring in technicians who are highly trained, experienced, and serious about doing the job right.

Our team has hands-on experience with all major centrifuge types, disc-stack, basket systems, and even decanter centrifuges like Max-950. They follow strict ISO-certified processes, use the latest diagnostic tools, and stay current with the newest upgrades and repair methods. 

But technical know-how is just part of it. What really sets our team apart is how much they care. They take pride in every repair and treat your equipment like it’s their own. 

We’re not just here to get it working. We’re here to make sure it helps your business grow.

8. We Grow with You, Not Past You

Unlike other centrifuge repair companies, our focus isn’t to rack up as many service calls as we can. It’s to build real partnerships that last. That mindset took us from a small repair shop in Edmonton, Canada, to a trusted name across North America.

We work with businesses like yours that stay with us for the long haul. You should not be with us just because we fix things fast but because we help you plan ahead. We offer preventive maintenance programs, honest assessments and even sell new and refurbished centrifuges built to perform under pressure.

When you partner with us, you get long-term support that keeps you ahead of breakdowns, not reacting to them. We stay involved, stay responsive, and make sure you are never left scrambling when it matters most.

Because when you win, we win. And that’s how we have always done business.
