CPR Service Helps After Power Outage!
JANUARY 2021 – During a power outage over the holidays, a dairy customer in the Midwest was not only left in the dark, but after the power came back on, they were left without an operational HMI (human machine interface) for their separator. They had no way to run the unit and get back to production. Despite it being during the holidays, the CPR service team jumped into action, and resolved the situation quickly. Here is what the customer had to say about our service…
“Centrifuge Parts and Repair offered to immediately send their engineer directly to our site to address our HMI issue on our Separator. The startup screen had gone blank and we had no idea how to fix it. CPR provided 3 different options to assure us that they could get the problem resolved in one trip. They were able to get us back up and running using the least expensive option. They got us making cream again and prevented future downtime and loss of production. We really appreciate the accurate communication we received before, during and after the process to make sure we were satisfied with their service. This is not something we were accustomed to in the past. We will be using Centrifuge Parts and Repair for all our separator needs going forward.”

New – Special Low Pricing on Service Kits!
DECEMBER 2020 – 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone, and 2021 looks to be similar for the near future. Companies have been forced to operate in ways like never before, some of which have come at a significant cost. We know these costs are directly hitting the bottom line, and in many cases, doing so along with a reduced volume of business. This is repeated to us daily when speaking to our customers from the plant floors to the corporate offices. We constantly ask how we can help, or better support them, and the response is always… “Can you lower my costs and save me time?” While we had already reduced some costs on GEA / Westfalia, SPX / Seital, and other brands, we recently set our sights on doing this for Alfa Laval and Tetra Pak.
Thus, we are now happy to announce a significantly reduced price on our Alfa Laval and Tetra Pak parts, pre-packaged as Intermediate and Major Service Kits! These Service Kits (Preventive Maintenance Kits) are uniquely identified to make ordering fast and easy, we have added a new Quick Order Form, and the kits are available for Immediate Shipping! These reduced prices will help our customers decrease their operational costs during a time when it is desperately needed, and the pre-packaged kits and new order form will save time and effort by simplifying the ordering process and being able to ship right away. And of course, all of this still comes with our world class support and service. Learn more, and see the pricing, and the specific machine models that we have kits available for, in our Parts Store!
