MAN engines are trusted worldwide for their performance in marine vessels, power plants, and industrial equipment. But when crankshaft damage occurs, even the most robust engine is at risk of unplanned shutdowns. That’s where in situ crankshaft grinding comes in—restoring crankshaft surfaces to full functionality without engine removal.
At Panesar Crankshaft Centre, we provide specialized onsite crankshaft grinding for MAN engines across Africa, using precision equipment and OEM-guided procedures.
Why In Situ Grinding for MAN Engines?
Crankshafts can suffer from wear, scoring, heat damage, and journal misalignment due to bearing failure or lubrication issues. Replacing or removing a crankshaft is expensive and time-consuming. With onsite grinding, the crankshaft is repaired in place—minimizing cost and downtime.
