Through detailed inspection, thorough cleaning, and expert reconditioning, these services support consistent production and help facilities maintain long-term equipment reliability.
In-House Services
Gear Pump Rebuild
A gear pump rebuild helps restore critical flow control components used in cannabis and hemp processing systems. This service includes a full disassembly and internal inspection, followed by a deep cleaning process and a tolerance check of key components. Rebuilding the gear pump ensures it operates within factory specifications, which helps maintain consistent product transfer rates and prevents premature equipment wear.
Transmission Rebuild
A transmission rebuild is essential for maintaining the mechanical efficiency of rotating systems in processing equipment. This service involves a complete teardown and cleaning of the transmission assembly. All seals, O-rings, and bearings are replaced to reduce the risk of leaks or mechanical failure. Proper transmission function supports smooth operation across distillation and extraction systems.
Wiper Basket Rebuild
The wiper basket plays a key role in thin-film evaporation by distributing material evenly across the heated surface. Rebuilding the wiper basket includes resetting the alignment and replacing essential components such as the SKR block and spring clip. Performing this service helps maintain uniform film thickness, improves heat transfer, and supports consistent product output. Pairing this service with a transmission rebuild is often recommended for best results.
Check Valve Rebuild
Check valves are responsible for controlling unidirectional flow in vacuum and fluid systems. Rebuilding the check valve involves disassembling the internal components, inspecting for wear, and replacing the spring and sealing elements. The valve is then thoroughly cleaned and reassembled to support proper sealing and reliable flow control. Regular maintenance helps prevent contamination and system inefficiencies.
Diffusion Pump Refurbishment
Diffusion pumps are critical to achieving deep vacuum levels in distillation systems. This refurbishment service includes complete functional testing of the internal components, including the top cap, baffle, cooling fan, and heating assembly. Any parts that fall outside acceptable specifications are replaced. The unit is cleaned, reassembled, and bench-tested to ensure it performs reliably under vacuum conditions.
Glass Reconditioning or Repair
Glassware is essential for visibility and chemical resistance in cannabis and hemp extraction processes. The reconditioning service involves a multi-stage cleaning procedure to restore clarity and remove buildup from use. When applicable, minor repairs may be performed depending on the glass condition and age. This helps facilities extend the usability of high-value components and maintain clean, safe processing environments.
