A centrifuge built for long service
LONG-TERM OPERATION
A centrifuge built for long service
Inspection, servicing and appropriate parts replacement help a machine remain in use for many years.
A machine still in use after about 56 years
The existing case describes a centrifuge manufactured and delivered in 1966 that was still in use when photographed in November 2022, about 56 years later. The example illustrates long service in a particular installation; it is not a guaranteed service life.
Application at a food manufacturer
The machine removed fibrous insoluble material from natural-colouring raw materials. The clarified liquid was then used as an ingredient in food production.
What supports long-term use?
Inspection and servicing
Check the condition and plan maintenance around actual usage.
Parts replacement
Replace consumables and scheduled replacement parts appropriately.
Repair support
Review faults and the practical way to restore the machine.
Ask about older machines
We welcome parts and repair enquiries for machines manufactured many years ago. For parts we manufacture in-house, we can continue production and supply on a virtually indefinite basis. We check the model and components before confirming availability, repair feasibility and arrangements.
For equipment outside Japan, please tell us the country and installation site. We will confirm the available service method, shipping arrangements, schedule and costs for your location. For site visits or operating instruction, we will also agree the language and communication arrangements in advance.
