“ 

2021，Total 1.2.7 billion pounds of end-of-life core material recycled。

”

That's one of the more striking pieces of data from Caterpillar's recently released 2021 Sustainability Report.。

1.2.7 billion pounds or 5.760,000 tons，Equivalent to more than 4.Total weight of 500 million smartphones。These cores include the engine、Transmission case、Hydraulic Products、Materials with expired service life such as fuel system assembly and parts，Caterpillar through Advanced Remanufacturing，Bring them back into service with performance and quality comparable to new，Regain one's life。

  

Remanufacturing is an advanced form of circular economy.，It is not simply repair and renovation.，Rather, it is based on strict technical guidelines for reuse and quality control requirements.，According to the original part specifications and the latest engineering technical standards，For core partDisassembly、Cleaning、Repair、Detect、Assemble、Spray painting、Packing，Finally, remanufactured products are formed.。

“Remanufacturing is a valuable service that Caterpillar provides to its customers.，It is also an important part of the company's strategy on sustainability.。”Senior Vice President, Remanufacturing, CaterpillarBrian EdwardsRepresentation。“Remanufacturing has very unique economic and environmental effects.，Whether to the customer、To the environment、Or to Caterpillar itself?，Remanufacturing is a win-win solution.。”

  Accumulation of half a century

1973，Caterpillar Opens First Remanufacturing Facility in Iowa，Specializes in the remanufacturing of engine cores for diesel trucks。There is a striking and funny slogan at the gate of the factory.：“You are tired and broken.（Engine）Bring，We'll make it roar.。”As soon as this new service is launched,，It is welcomed by Cat dealers and customers。

After nearly 50 years，Cat Reman has taken a major leap forward，It has a complete global sales system for core recycling and remanufacturing products.，Include21Global Parts Distribution Centers andMore than 2,300Caterpillar Authorized Service Point。2021，Cat machines and equipment that have end-of-life cores that can be remanufactured include88%It's been recycled.。At present，Caterpillar can deliverMore than 8,000 speciesRemanufactured parts and components，Enabling customers to have more options for repair and refurbishment。

Remanufacturing can save a lot of resources and energy.。Compared to manufacturing a new product，Cat Reman Saves85%Energy Consumption、85%Raw material consumption and85%Consumption of water resources*，And in the process reduce61%Greenhouse gas emissions。Because a large amount of energy and resource are saved,，Remanufactured products compared to new parts of the same kind，With the same quality、On the premise of performance and warranty commitment，Price can be reduced by up to 60%。

 

  

Remanufacturing already covers a wide range of Caterpillar products.。Caterpillar Manufacturing Expertise、Equipment inventory and independent agent system，Allowing it to pass through many of its brands.，IncludeCAT、Solar turbine®（Solar®Turbine）And Mannheim.（MWM）To provide remanufactured products and components，Renovation services are provided through the agent.。

  

Uphold“Designed for remanufacturing”The advanced concept of，Caterpillar engineers select raw materials for component、Thickness、Bearing isochronism，Integrate the remanufacturing concept into the design。It can be said that，The remanufacturing process begins at the beginning of the design, So that new product can have multiple life cycles。

  “Bicarbon”Mission under the goal  

As a global pioneer in remanufacturing，Caterpillar is one of the first companies to introduce the advanced circular economy concept of remanufacturing to China.。December 2005，Caterpillar Establishes Remanufacturing Facility in Shanghai Lingang Industrial Park。Previously，The country is clear.“Support remanufacturing of waste mechanical and electrical products”The policy of。

  

Caterpillar Remanufacturing（Shanghai）Limited Company

Caterpillar Harbor Remanufacturing Facility is Growing Fast，Listed as the first batch by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in 2009“Construction Machinery Industry Remanufacturing Pilot Enterprise”One of；2012，The No.2 workshop was officially put into operation.；2014，Successful introduction of high-pressure common rail nozzle remanufacturing project；2016，Won the highest honor of environmental protection in China——China Baosteel Cup Enterprise Environmental Award，And became the first foreign-funded enterprise to win this honor.。

  

In China，Caterpillar's remanufactured products help many customers save valuable time and operating costs.，Help them achieve sustainable development。

The East China Sea Rescue Bureau of the Ministry of Communications, which undertakes rescue and special rescue tasks along the eastern coast of China and related waters，Its rescue ship is equipped withCat®（Carter.）3508BMarine Standby Engine。Before，The refurbishment of the ship's two engines will take about 20 days，Reconditioning Cylinder Head with Remanufactured Components、Oil Cooler、After oil pump and water pump，Complete the engine refurbishment of a shipOnly 12 days。Considering the particularity of the salvage ship,，The life-saving value of the maintenance days saved is self-evident.。

  

In the field of energy，Remanufacturing also plays an important role.。Shanxi Jinju Coal and Electricity Company is equipped with 97Cat®G3520CGas generator set。Long time operation causes serious loss of generator set。2021，Jinju Coal and Electricity adopts remanufactured short cylinder to renovate the whole machine.，The renovation, which originally took nearly a month, was directly shortened to one week.，It greatly increases the time of generating electricity and the income of selling electricity.。

  

Caterpillar is also exploring the use of more advanced technologies，For example, using a machine vision system，Faster、More accurate determination of whether a core can be remanufactured；Repair using a robot，Improve repair efficiency。

About the essence of remanufacturing，Brian EdwardsTheory of interpretation：“The key word for remanufacturing is‘Economize’——Greatly save equipment maintenance costs and time for customers，Save for the environment 85%Raw material，Thereby reducing energy and water consumption.，Reduce carbon emissions。Remanufacturing is a win-win way to reduce carbon emissions.。”

June 2022，Caterpillar Updates Global Corporate Strategy，Sustainability as the fourth area of focus。Caterpillar not only has a long-term commitment to sustainability and practices，More focus on continuous investment in new products、New technologies and services，Helping customers achieve their climate-related goals。

 

With the global carbon peak、Carbon neutrality target concerns，Circular economy has become a key area of national concern.，Remanufacturing industry ushers in great opportunities。Caterpillar will also follow the policies of China's remanufacturing industry.，Help related industries to jointly achieve sustainable development。
