Separators operate under constant loads, so any deviation in the operation of individual elements quickly affects the overall rhythm of the production process. However, worn parts themselves do not pose a threat – what becomes critical is how and with what they are replaced. So let's talk further about which modules require special attention and figure out which aspects should be given special attention when replacing them.

Spare parts for separators that fail most often

The modules that wear out the fastest are those that are in constant contact with moving or aggressive environments. First and foremost, this applies to bearings, gaskets, cuffs, seals and seals – the stability of the drums' rotation and the integrity of the internal components depend on their tightness and accuracy of fit. Their wear usually goes unnoticed, but the consequences are dramatic – in the form of vibrations, misalignments and leaks, triggering a chain reaction throughout the system.

Drive components – gears, guides, clutches, bushings and rollers – constitute a separate category. They ensure the synchronous operation of all rotating elements, where any violation of geometry or reduction in lubrication quality leads to uneven loading. As a result, the wear of adjacent parts increases and vibration occurs, and during prolonged operation, deformations occur that are difficult to detect without dismantling. This is especially critical for high-speed models, where even a slight deviation instantly disrupts the balance and reduces the efficiency of separation.

Mistakes and their consequences that should be avoided

First of all, we are talking about the following:

• Ignoring the exact article or model of the separator leads to the installation of an incompatible part, significantly reducing the overall service life of the unit.
• The use of spare parts without a confirmed origin often results in premature wear due to inaccurate processing or poor-quality materials.
• Replacing only one worn part without checking related components complicates the operation of the unit, creating an additional load on the system.
• Installing parts based on external similarity without checking technical aspects causes microdeformations, excessive friction and gradual destruction of the block.

It is also important to understand that saving money on components makes no sense. After all, high-quality spare parts cannot be too cheap and have a corresponding price. Keep this in mind.
