Minor maintenance can be performed on the Andritz HX without removing the cartridge.

Andritz has developed a new screen scroll centrifuge, the HX, with innovative features that reduce wear, enable the rapid exchange of parts, and increase maintainability. The HX features include a Gentle Feeder feeding system, a modular scroll, and a rotating assembly that can be removed and replaced in one piece (express cartridge).

The express cartridge design enables the entire rotating assembly to be replaced without dismantling any process piping, reducing downtime to less than eight hours, even for major maintenance work. Minor maintenance work can be done without removing the cartridge as the scroll and screens are easily accessible and removable. The scroll itself is a modular unit designed specifically for cost efficiency and rapid repairs – worn parts can be replaced separately using standard tools. These new features minimize maintenance costs and maximize uptime.
