SPIRAC Service Teams Deliver Conveyor Upgrades and Asset Life Extensions

When solids handling equipment begins to show signs of wear, operators are often faced with a difficult decision: repair, replace, or continue operating at increased risk of unplanned downtime.

Across Australia and the United Kingdom, SPIRAC's mobile service teams are helping wastewater treatment plants extend equipment life, reduce maintenance costs, and improve reliability through professional refurbishment, spare parts replacement, and complete conveyor upgrades.

Recent projects have seen SPIRAC service technicians replace aging competitor equipment with modern SPIRAC systems, providing customers with a more reliable and maintainable solution for handling screenings, grit and sludge, and other difficult materials.

From Worn Equipment to Reliable Operation

The before and after images from a recent Australian project demonstrate the transformation that can be achieved through a comprehensive service upgrade.

The existing shaftless screw conveyor, supplied by another manufacturer, had reached the end of its service life. Years of operation with little to no maintenance had resulted in significant wear, corrosion, and deterioration of critical components, increasing maintenance requirements and the risk of unplanned downtime.

Following a detailed site assessment, the SPIRAC Service Team removed the aging conveyor and installed a new SPIRAC shaftless screw conveyor complete with upgraded covers, transfer components, bearings, drive equipment, and genuine wear-resistant SPIRAC shaftless spirals. The result is a more reliable, lower-maintenance conveying system designed to deliver long-term performance and improved operational efficiency.

Mobile Service Teams Ready to Respond

SPIRAC's dedicated service teams in Australia and the UK provide on-site support for both SPIRAC and non-SPIRAC equipment.

Services include:

• Condition assessments and inspections of Screening, Grit and Sludge equipment
• Refurbishments and upgrades of all your headworks equipment
• Shaftless spiral and trough liner replacements
• Gearbox and drive upgrades
• Emergency breakdown support
• Preventative maintenance
• Installation and commissioning services

Whether equipment was originally supplied by SPIRAC or another manufacturer, SPIRAC's experienced technicians can assess the system and recommend the most cost-effective path forward.

The Importance of Genuine SPIRAC Spare Parts

Many conveyor failures begin with worn spirals, liners or drive components. While alternative parts may appear similar, they often fail to deliver the same performance and life expectancy as genuine SPIRAC components.

SPIRAC genuine spare parts are engineered to meet strict quality standards. This helps ensure:

• Maximum equipment reliability
• Reduced downtime
• Longer component life
• Improved operational performance
• Lower whole-of-life maintenance costs

Using authentic SPIRAC spare parts also ensures compatibility with existing equipment and helps maintain the performance characteristics originally designed into the system.

Supporting Wastewater Plants Throughout the Asset Lifecycle

From emergency repairs and spare parts supply to complete equipment replacements, SPIRAC's service teams are committed to helping wastewater treatment operators maximise equipment availability and protect critical infrastructure.

With experienced service personnel based in Australia and the United Kingdom, SPIRAC can provide local support backed by decades of shaftless screw conveyor expertise.

If your equipment is showing signs of wear, experiencing recurring maintenance issues, or approaching the end of its service life, contact SPIRAC to discuss refurbishment and upgrade options.
