Hydraulics Industry, It’s Our Time to Shine: Celebrating Global & National Reman Day

Initiated by the US Remanufacturing Industries Council in 2018 to raise awareness of the economic, societal, material, and environmental benefits of remanufacturing, Global Reman Day offers a chance to tout the advancements made in the hydraulics industry.

This year, local efforts by industry remanufacturers  marked on National Reman Day April 11 are boosted to a global scale on April 14, as leaders spread awareness of their annual efforts to reduce waste and cost, without sacrificing the quality of hydraulic equipment.

The RIC is dedicated to supporting the advancement of the remanufacturing industry by fostering cooperation among remanufacturing industries in areas of common interests, as well as promoting the use of remanufactured products.

What is Remanufacturing?

Remanufacturing is an industrial process by which a previously sold, leased, used, worn, remanufactured, or non-functional product or part is returned to same-as-new, or better-than-new condition through a controlled and sustainable process.

Remanufacturing saves, on average, 85% of energy, water, and material use compared to a newly manufactured product.

HPS prides itself on its remanufacturing process today and every day. Read more about our process at www.hydparts.com/remanufacturing.

Reman and New Test Stand at HPS

When hydraulic pumps, motors, or valve cores fail, it’s usually a single component gone bad. The rest of the unit is often still in good operating condition.

That’s when we step in with our remanufacturing process.

Hydraulic Parts Source has been at it since 1996, inspecting units, scrapping the bad parts, and keeping the ones that still meet OE specifications, keeping them in our inventory to be built into new units the moment a customer places an order. This results in high-quality products that are a fraction of the cost of new, able to be built on-demand for our customers.

But this year, we upped our reman game!

Hydraulic Parts Source invested $250,000 to build a one-of-a-kind, entirely custom-engineered test stand that is unmatched in our field, allowing us to perform quality testing on all products before they leave our building, ensuring they all meet or exceed OEM specifications in a variety of fluid power settings and configurations.

And this was done after we already had a state-of-the-art test stand that most in the field could only hope for!

This is just one example of why you can trust HPS for the best. Our commitment to you, our customer, and to the quality of the Rexroth, Denison and Vickers hydraulic parts we provide for your end-users is always ten steps ahead.

No other remanufacturer in the world invests in the advancement of quality like we do.
