 |
The brand name for factory remanufactured parts.
Not rebuilt, but completely remanufactured to original BluePrint specifications. |
 |
Philosophy | |
| The objective in remanufacturing is to return the parts or complete engine to new specifications and upgrade it with the latest engineering changes… a big difference from the rebuilder’s objective of making a component work again. |

Quality | |
The Remanufacturing Process
- Engine disassembled and sorted by component
- Components are cleaned
- Components are inspected and gauged
- Parts are remanufactured if applicable
- Tested using same procedures and specifications as OEM production
- Upgraded with critical design improvements

The right equipment for the job:
- Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM)
- Computer Numerical Controlled Machining Center (CNC)
- Crankshaft Grinders
- Journal Honing Machine
- Injector Calibrators
- Specialty Measurement Gauges
|
|
| DDC Reman uses a computer numerical controlled (CNC) coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to measure part features such as holes, cones, arcs, spheres, surfaces, etc., Features which can not be measured with conventional hand tools are easily measured to a high degree of precision with the CMM. Reman centers are DDC Business Units Due to DDC’s commitment to quality we invest substantial capital into specific equipment that rebuilders are normally unable to acquire, leaving them left to very simple tools. | |

Remanufacturing Edge | |
- Spray Welding is a remanufacturing process in which molten/powered metal is sprayed onto metal surfaces to bring them to new specifications.
- Updates are the beauty of hindsight, where field experienced parts are brought to the latest design level.
- Conversions allows DDC to have an easy core acceptance because they can take parts, such as shared castings, that are no longer current and remanufacture them to the latest blueprint specifications.
