Remanufacturing: Troy Industrial Solutions’ Role in Supporting Manufacturing

When a critical piece of industrial equipment fails, many companies assume replacement is the only option. But there’s a smarter, more cost-effective, and sustainable solution that often gets overlooked: remanufacturing.

Troy Industrial Solutions, an industry leader in comprehensive maintenance services and support, has placed remanufacturing at the forefront of its operations. With more than 163 years of experience, Troy has consistently supported industrial clients by restoring equipment to optimal conditions rather than disposing of it. Remanufacturing is a fundamental aspect of Troy’s business, forming the foundation of our reputation for over a century and a half. Our objective is clear: to prolong the lifespan of industrial equipment, deliver cost savings to our customers, and minimize environmental impact.

 

What is Remanufacturing?

Remanufacturing is a comprehensive industrial process where a used or worn-out product is restored to a like-new, or even better-than-new condition, meeting the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) specifications for quality and performance. This process differs from simple repair, refurbishment, or recycling, as it involves a detailed approach to restoring the product to a high standard.

Here’s a breakdown of the typical remanufacturing process:

1. Acquisition: Obtaining used or end-of-life products suitable for restoration.

2. Disassembly: Completely dismantling the product to its individual components.

3. Condition Assessment: Each component is inspected, evaluated, and categorized as reusable, repairable, or unusable.

4. Cleaning: Salvageable parts are thoroughly cleaned to remove contaminants.

5. Repair or Replacement: Damaged or worn components are repaired or replaced with new or upgraded parts.

6. Reassembly: The product is meticulously reassembled according to the original specifications.

7. Performance Testing: The remanufactured product undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets or exceeds OEM performance standards.

8. Service Life & Return: The remanufactured product begins its new service life. When it reaches the end of this new life, it can potentially re-enter the remanufacturing process.

 

Benefits of Remanufacturing

In today’s fast-paced manufacturing environment, equipment downtime isn’t just inconvenient—it’s costly. Every hour a machine sits idle can delay production, affect delivery schedules, and impact your bottom line. That’s where we come in. With our expert remanufacturing services, Troy helps manufacturers keep operations running smoothly, cost-effectively, and sustainably. Here’s how…

Extending Equipment Life

One of the biggest challenges manufacturers face is the wear and tear on critical machinery. From motors to gearboxes and conveyors, machinery is the backbone of any plant. Troy Industrial Solutions specializes in remanufacturing worn or damaged equipment, restoring it to like-new condition. This means manufacturers can maximize the life of their investments without the significant expense of purchasing brand-new machinery.

Minimizing Downtime

When equipment fails, production can grind to a halt. Our remanufacturing services are designed to get your machinery back online quickly and reliably. By diagnosing issues, replacing worn components, and thoroughly testing each piece, we ensure your equipment returns to your plant in optimal working condition—faster than waiting for new replacements.

Cost Savings You Can Count On

Purchasing new industrial equipment can be a major financial burden. Remanufacturing offers a high-quality, cost-effective alternative. On average, remanufactured components cost 30–70% less than new equipment, giving manufacturers a way to control maintenance costs while maintaining reliability.

Sustainability Matters

The manufacturing industry is under increasing pressure to operate sustainably. Remanufacturing supports a circular economy by reusing parts instead of sending them to the landfill. By working with us, manufacturers can reduce waste, conserve energy, and meet sustainability goals, all while keeping their plants fully operational.

Expertise and Quality Assurance

Troy’s technicians bring decades of experience and hands-on expertise. Every remanufactured component meets or exceeds OEM specifications, giving manufacturers peace of mind knowing their equipment is reliable, durable, and high performing.

Flexibility for Modern Manufacturing

Manufacturing needs are always evolving, and downtime isn’t an option. Our remanufacturing services provide flexibility—whether it’s rebuilding specialized machinery or scaling up for increased production demands, we help manufacturers adapt quickly to changing needs.
