Comec, leader in the automotive machine tools sector, plays a key role in enabling and promoting the application of circular economy principles in the automotive industry, particularly concerning the reuse and regeneration of engine and brake components.

The process of reusing and regenerating engine and brake components involves several phases and techniques to extend the lifespan of these components and reduce the need for producing new parts, resulting in environmental and economic benefits.
The process follows these stages:

1. Disassembly and inspection: Worn components are removed from the vehicle and subjected to a thorough inspection to assess their condition and identify which parts can be effectively reused or regenerated.
2. Cleaning: The selected components are thoroughly cleaned to remove any oil, grease, dirt, or wear deposits.
3. Grinding and reconditioning: The worn surfaces of the components are restored to their original specifications through grinding, turning, boring, polishing, or other types of mechanical processing.
4. Replacement of internal components: Some internal elements of engines or brakes, such as bearings, seals, or springs, may need to be replaced.
5. Reassembly: The reconditioned components and any spare parts are then reassembled according to specifications and tested.

Comec has developed cutting-edge solutions to optimize these processes and maximize material reuse, through sophisticated equipment and specific machinery such as lathes, grinders, borers, polishers, and test benches.
Reuse and regeneration not only extend the lifespan of components but also save natural resources and energy required for the production of new parts, reducing the overall environmental impact.
With its extensive experience, Comec offers technical support, consultancy, and training programs to workshops and regeneration centers, transferring specialized know-how on reconditioning processes and best practices to maximize material recovery.
