CRANKSHAFT FOR CUMMINS QSK 78 DIESEL ENGINE GETS A TURN
Currently Metric Automotive Engineering is remanufacturing a crankshaft belonging to an 18 cylinder Cummins QSK 78 diesel engine. The 4000 hp engine powers a rigid frame dump truck in an open cast mining operation, and as can be expected works under arduous operating conditions.
EMPOWERING WOMEN IN ENGINEERING THROUGH B-BBEE
Working to embrace the spirit of transformation and development, Metric Automotive Engineering has affirmed its Level 4 status in terms of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) requirements.
ENGINE IMPORTS THREATEN SA’S ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
South Africa needs to wake up quickly to the dire socio-economic impacts of simply importing new engines rather than remanufacturing existing components locally.
INVESTMENT BY METRIC STRATEGIC CONTRIBUTION TO ENGINEERING CAPACITY
In a boost to South Africa’s engineering capacity and quality, Metric Automotive Engineering has added a new-generation Rottler three-axis CNC machining unit to its workshop. Featuring linear rails for greater accuracy, the machine is the first of its kind in Africa, according to Metric Automotive Equipment operations director Andrew Yorke.
LOCAL REMANUFACTURE OF GAS ENGINE COMPONENTS SAVES TIME, MONEY
As South Africa looks to make greater use of natural gas – and even landfill gas – in the generation of electricity, the good news is that the country has world class engine component remanufacturing capacity to optimise the lifespan and reliability of these generating sets.
PIONEERING REMANUFACTURE OF LOCO DIESEL ENGINE BY METRIC
In an engineering first for South Africa, Metric Automotive Engineering in Germiston is conducting the full remanufacture of the two large locomotive engine blocks and oil pans on behalf of a large OEM customer based in the United States for an African rail operator.
REMAN ENGINES: WHY QUALITY ENGINEERING IS NOT EXPENSIVE
“Penny wise and pound foolish” is how Metric Automotive Engineering operations director Andrew Yorke describes the tendency for many equipment owners to try to cut corners when getting engines remanufactured.
NEW GENERATION ENGINES RAISE BAR FOR REMANUFACTURERS
So complex has modern engine design become that companies wanting to have their engines remanufactured should first look carefully at their service provider’s equipment and in-house skills profile.
