Transmission Remanufacturing: The Process Behind Industrial Reman's Expertise

When it comes to keeping heavy equipment running smoothly, the transmission is a critical component that requires careful attention. Industrial Reman, a leader in the remanufacturing of heavy equipment transmissions, understands the importance of restoring these vital parts to their original performance—or even better. Our comprehensive transmission remanufacturing process ensures that your equipment continues to operate at peak efficiency, saving you both time and money. Here's a closer look at how we achieve this.

Step 1: Initial Inspection and Diagnostics

The process begins with a thorough initial inspection and diagnostics. Our technicians conduct a visual inspection to identify any obvious signs of wear or damage. Advanced diagnostics testing is then performed to pinpoint the specific issues within the transmission. This step is crucial for understanding the extent of the repairs needed and for developing a precise remanufacturing plan.

Step 2: Complete Disassembly

Once the initial diagnostics are complete, the transmission is fully disassembled. Each component, including gears, shafts, clutches, and seals, is carefully separated. Our team labels and organizes every part meticulously to ensure a smooth reassembly later in the process.

Step 3: Deep Cleaning

All components undergo an intensive cleaning process using state-of-the-art equipment such as ultrasonic cleaners. This step removes all traces of dirt, grease, and metal particles that could compromise the transmission’s performance. For parts requiring it, additional surface treatments, like polishing or coating, are applied to restore them to optimal condition.

Step 4: Detailed Inspection and Testing

Every component is subjected to a detailed inspection using precision measuring tools. Advanced techniques, including magnetic particle inspection and dye penetrant testing, are employed to detect any hidden cracks or flaws. Parts that show signs of wear or are out of tolerance are replaced with new or reconditioned components to ensure reliability and durability.

Step 5: Component Upgrades

At Industrial Reman, we don’t just restore transmissions; we improve them. Where feasible, we upgrade components with more durable materials or modern designs, enhancing the transmission’s performance and extending its lifespan. These improvements make our remanufactured transmissions superior to many new ones available on the market.

Step 6: Precision Reassembly

The reassembly process is carried out with meticulous attention to detail. Our technicians follow strict manufacturer specifications, ensuring that all components are aligned and torqued correctly. New gaskets, seals, and other critical parts are installed to prevent future leaks and ensure optimal performance.

Step 7: Rigorous Testing

Before a remanufactured transmission leaves our facility, it undergoes rigorous testing. We use a dynamometer to simulate real-world driving conditions, ensuring the transmission performs flawlessly under various loads and speeds. Additionally, each transmission is pressure-tested to check for leaks and ensure all seals are intact.

Step 8: Final Quality Control

Quality is our top priority at Industrial Reman. Each remanufactured transmission undergoes a final inspection to confirm it meets or exceeds OEM standards. Detailed documentation of the process, including test results and any component upgrades, is provided to ensure transparency and peace of mind for our customers.

Step 9: Secure Packaging and Shipping

After passing our stringent quality checks, the transmission is carefully packaged to prevent damage during shipping. Whether it’s being sent directly to a customer or a service center for installation, we ensure it arrives in perfect condition.

Step 10: Professional Installation

We recommend that our remanufactured transmissions be installed by a qualified technician to ensure optimal performance. After installation, the transmission is tested again to verify its operation within the vehicle, ensuring that everything runs smoothly from the start.
