Finally, each unit is individually tested.” Sustainability Commenting on how the remanufacturing process for turbochargers works at BorgWarner, Ian Buxcey, Global Remanufacturing Manager at BorgWarner said: “The old returned cores are inspected and graded in the receiving area before being sent to a dismantling area to be completely disassembled. The disassembled components fall into two categories, components that can potentially be re-used, and components that are mandatory change parts e.g. bearings. “All dismantled components are inspected to ensure they meet the basic criteria for the remanufacturing process before they are sent to one of the recovery areas. Ian added: “BorgWarner’s reconditioning processes are varied and designed specifically for each type of component. Particular attention is paid to compressor and turbine wheels and these are rebalanced to original OEM specs to ensure they will deliver the required performance. Components that do not successfully fulfil all the criteria required for a reclaimed component are replaced with genuine new OEM parts.” Characteristics For BORG Automotive, a remanufactured product must have the same characteristics and meet the same customer requirements as a new original product. Anders Nielsen, Starter and Alternator Product Manager from BORG Automotive, observed: “Many customers know that we only use OEM parts for remanufacturing and that our remanufacturing sites are located in Europe and the UK, both to guarantee high quality from the start. Only a few people know though just how much time BORG invests to make sure that the remanufactured product works perfectly for many miles.” Make your ENVIRONMENTAL footprint - without compromising your business!
