Our Experts Can Get to the Heart of Your Core Preparation Challenge.

The Remanufacturer’s challenge is to determine the value of their cores and increase the speed and productivity in turning those components into reusable parts.  As the life blood of the remanufacturing process the core is stripped, cleaned, polished and brought back to life. Hubbard-Hall brings decades of experience in this manufacturing process with a complete line of metal finishing products coupled with technical expertise.

What Makes Remanufacturing Different?

Remanufacturing differs from traditional manufacturing in that it requires the knowledge of several variables that are constantly changing. Such as multi-metal substrates, unique part configuration, complex and unidentifiable contaminants. Hubbard-Hall has a dedicated technical team who provide process expertise in cleaning, stripping and preparing almost all metals, as well as configurations, contaminants and environmental requirements facing manufacturers.

Specialty Cleaners for Remanufacturing

A core should be evaluated to determine if it’s suitable to be remanufactured; after complete disassembly, components are thoroughly cleaned. This is where we come in, providing expertise in cleaning for over 60 years, it is critical to provide the right blend of chemistry to remove all of the contaminants while preserving the substrate. With the trend to reduce weight from engines and other components, softer, lighter metal alloys, like aluminum and magnesium require unique cleaning techniques.

Remove Paint Without Damaging Parts

Remove Paint Without Damaging Parts

Once the grease, dirt, rust, carbon and paint are removed, the true value of the core can be evaluated. Mechanical means or blasting with various media will remove the majority of the remaining coating. Sometimes, however, special attention is needed not to damage certain metals, such as aluminum, copper alloys, magnesium or other softer, lighter metals. Moreover, this same attention is needed when treating plastic and other non-metallic materials.
