The UK aftermarket is seeing an increased demand for remanufacturing, according Brake Engineering.
Kevin Price, marketing manager at Brake Engineering said: “We recondition, re-engineer and remanufacture parts to the highest standard before adding them to our range.
“It is this attention to detail that is driving demand for our products.”
Brake Engineering’s remanufacturing expertise is detailed in its new “Core Process” poster, which details the key stages of remanufacturing.
As part of the remanufacturing process, all wearing parts of a caliper are replaced with brand new components, including pistons, seals and sliders.
Remanufacturing processes
The caliper housing is also given a corrosion resistance, zinc plated finish that abides by current EU legislation.
The caliper is then pressure tested to strict quality guidelines, with batch marking being used for essential traceability.
The company says each piston has an improved anti-corrosion coating and has undergone a 450-hour salt spray resistance test proving their suitability for use in cold climates, as well as having a hardness of 500 vickers.
The piston surface finish is also improved to reduce wear on the seals.
