When it comes to reliable power solutions, the CAT Reman Engine Generator stands out as a pinnacle of engineering excellence. Caterpillar’s commitment to innovation and environmental sustainability is evident in these generators, which provide like-new performance at a fraction of the cost of new equipment. Designed for applications requiring dependable power, these units cater to businesses, industries, and sectors where downtime is not an option.
What is a CAT Reman Engine Generator?
A CAT Reman Engine Generator is built using a remanufactured Caterpillar engine. These engines undergo rigorous disassembly, cleaning, inspection, and reassembly processes. Caterpillar incorporates advanced salvage techniques and the latest engineering updates to ensure every remanufactured component meets original equipment manufacturing (OEM) standards. The result is a generator that combines performance, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability without compromise.
Key Specifications
CAT Reman Engine Generators are available across various power nodes, ranging from 600 kVA to 2,500 kVA. Some key specifications include:
- Low Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (LBSFC): Ensures fuel efficiency and reduced operational costs.
- Controls - EMCP 4.2B: Advanced control systems for seamless generator management.
- Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) Exciter: Enhances reliability and ensures consistent power delivery.
- Generator Space Heater: Prevents condensation buildup, increasing longevity.
- Radiator Cooling System: Optimised for demanding operational environments.
- Charging Alternator & Primary Fuel Filter: Ensures robust performance under challenging conditions.
- Manual Pre-Lube Pump: Protects engine components during startup.
These features are complemented by optional upgrades such as circuit breakers, jacket water heaters, and muffler kits, allowing customisation for diverse energy needs.
Benefits of Choosing a CAT Reman Engine Generator
1. Cost-Effectiveness
CAT Reman generators deliver like-new performance at a fraction of the cost. Since these engines use remanufactured components, Caterpillar passes on the cost savings to customers, making premium power solutions more accessible.
2. Environmental Sustainability
Caterpillar’s remanufacturing process results in 65-87% fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to manufacturing new engines. This “gate-to-gate” approach significantly reduces environmental impact while maintaining product integrity.
3. Reliable Performance
Every generator undergoes dynamometer testing to ensure it meets or exceeds original performance specifications. With components like the PMG exciter and LBSFC, customers are assured of reliable power delivery, even in harsh conditions.
4. Warranty Assurance
Backed by a same-as-new Caterpillar Limited Warranty, these generators provide peace of mind. The warranty includes coverage for resultant damage and unlimited operational hours for 12 months in prime and petroleum applications.
5. Global Availability
Stocked across Europe and North America and shipped globally, CAT Reman Engine Generators are readily accessible. This ensures reduced downtime and sustained productivity for industries worldwide.
Applications of CAT Reman Engine Generators
These generators are versatile and suitable for:
- Industrial Applications: Powering manufacturing plants and production lines.
- Petroleum and Gas: Ensuring uninterrupted operations in drilling and extraction sites.
- Commercial Establishments: Providing backup power for retail, hospitality, and data centres.
- Remote Locations: Supporting operations in off-grid or remote areas with reliable energy solutions.
The Remanufacturing Process
Caterpillar’s state-of-the-art remanufacturing facilities follow stringent protocols to ensure quality and reliability:
- Component Disassembly: Each engine is disassembled, and components are cleaned and inspected.
- Engineering Updates: Advanced salvage techniques and the latest engineering changes are incorporated.
- Replacement of Components: Critical parts such as piston rings, seals, and cylinder liners are replaced with new components.
- Performance Testing: Each unit undergoes dynamometer testing to validate performance standards.
This meticulous process ensures that each generator performs like new, providing customers with the best value for their investment.
