General Company / Remanufacturing FAQ Topics
What is the difference between component remanufacturing and repair?
Repair fixes what’s broken. Remanufacturing restores the component back to its original like-new condition by rebuilding structure, metallurgy, and surface finish to meet or exceed OEM specifications.
How does remanufacturing reduce total cost of ownership?
By extending component life, reducing unplanned downtime, and lowering replacement frequency, remanufactured parts can reduce total ownership costs by up to 70% compared to OEM replacements.
What types of components does High Tech Reman service?
We specialize in hydraulic cylinder rods, suspension strut rods, wheel spindles, brake anchors, and industrial rollers, and many other industrial components requiring weld overlay, hard chrome plating, HVAF/HVOF coating, or precision machining.
What industries do you support (mining, steel, aluminum, paper, etc.)?
Our processes support mining, steel, aluminum, paper & pulp processing, and heavy manufacturing, with tailored remanufacturing procedures designed for high-wear, high-load applications.
How do you ensure quality and traceability?
Every project includes process documentation, inspection reports, and material certifications. Our quality control and component traceability ensure consistency across weld, plating, and coating operations.
What turnaround times can be expected for typical projects?
Most standard components are completed within 2-3 weeks, with expedited turnaround available for critical equipment or production shutdowns.
Do you offer pickup/delivery?
Yes. We provide scheduled pickup and delivery using our company vehicles across regional service areas, with logistics support for out-of-state or international shipments.
How do you determine whether a component is repairable vs. scrap?
Each part undergoes a dimensional inspection and metallurgical evaluation. Only components that can safely meet OEM standards after remanufacturing are approved for rebuild.
Do you develop proprietary or customer-specific procedures?
Yes. We routinely develop proprietary welding, plating, and coating procedures tailored to specific equipment and wear patterns, ensuring repeatable, performance-driven results.
How does your process compare to OEM replacement cost and lead time?
Our remanufacturing processes typically cost 30–70% less than new OEM parts and deliver in a fraction of the lead time — often measured in days, not months.
