South African businesses using diesel engines must refocus on preventative maintenance and quality remanufacturing. This will ensure that their engines deliver optimal uptime and business continuity at a time when margins are being continually squeezed, says Andrew Yorke, operations director at Germiston-based Metric Automotive Engineering.

ECONOMIC CRISIS BRINGS DIESEL ENGINE COMPONENT REMANUFACTURE INTO ITS OWN

As South Africa’s depressed economy is further hammered by the Covid-19 lockdown, large diesel engine owners can be thankful that the country retains world-class diesel engine component remanufacturing facilities. Andrew Yorke, operations director at Germiston-based Metric Automotive Engineering, says key sectors like rail, mining, power generation and marine transport rely on large, hard-working diesel engines.

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.

METRIC AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING STANDS BY REMANUFACTURING AS A VIABLE OPTION

The weakened Rand continues to place pressure on local companies importing products and components. This means that remanufacturing of components to OEM standards rather than purchasing new engine components is a solid option as it affords less downtime, quicker turnaround times and less capital outlay.

REMANUFACTURING COMBATS PLANT MAINTENANCE CHALLENGES

Remanufacturing

With more sophisticated components being used in diesel engines today, maintenance has become more of a challenge for plant operators and this has been exacerbated by the continued lack of available skills. Diesel engine component remanufacturer, Metric Automotive Engineering says this situation has been made worse with so many different heavy equipment brands available in the country.
