Please click here for instructions on installation/adjustment of agitator assemblies found on our technical documents page.
Yes. DCI can repair broken or bent agitator shafts on prop and shaft assemblies by attaching a new shaft. This process also involves services to rebalance and reface the prop and shaft assembly once the shaft is attached. DCI can restore your prop and shaft assembly for almost half the cost of a new one. To send prop and shaft assemblies back for repair, please contact a parts customer service representative at (320) 252-8200 for a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number and for more details on price and shipping.
Contact a parts customer service representative at (320) 252-8200 with your original purchase order number and he/she will obtain the tracking number associated with your order and track delivery for you.
In order to return a part or component for credit or repair, you must contact a parts customer service representative for a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number. There will be a 30% restocking fee, which will apply to the amount being credited. If a part is non-stock, it is non-returnable; therefore, it does not qualify for a refund.
The dish of a hydroformed head is inflated and formed using WATER PRESSURE. Cold-formed heads are shaped by forming a flat plate into a dish by making small bumps via many passes over the entire head.
Yes, the minimum order is $100.
DCI’s new head press produces hydroformed heads in capacities ranging from 16-gauge sheet through 3/16” plate material and sizes ranging from 12” through 156” diameter. Heads are available in alloys including stainless steel, carbon steel, Hastelloy®, Inconel®, and aluminum.
The minimum requirements include:
- Inside or outside diameter
- Material type
- Material thickness
- Inside/outside finishes
- Weld finishes
- Knuckle radius
