In critical industrial and marine environments, engine downtime is costly. Traditional crankshaft repair methods involve dismantling, removal, and shipment—often leading to weeks of disruption. That’s why industries across Africa now rely on onsite crankshaft grinding services, eliminating delays while maintaining OEM repair standards.
At Panesar Crankshaft Centre, we deliver expert in situ crankshaft grinding across Africa’s power plants, marine vessels, refineries, and remote industrial sites—restoring crankshafts quickly and accurately, without engine removal.
What Is Onsite Crankshaft Grinding?
Onsite crankshaft grinding (also called in situ crankshaft grinding) is a process where technicians bring portable grinding equipment directly to the engine location. It allows for:
- Grinding of crankpins and main journals
- Restoration of journal diameter, roundness, and taper
- Surface polishing and dimensional reporting
- Elimination of the need to dismantle the engine or transport the crankshaft
This service is ideal for large marine engines, power gensets, and heavy-duty industrial machinery.
Common Problems Fixed by Onsite Grinding
- Journal wear, scoring, or pitting
- Ovality and taper due to prolonged use
- Overheating or bearing seizure damage
- Misalignment between crank journals
- Surface irregularities causing vibration
