Core Policy

Title: What Is a Core Valve in Remanufactured Automotive Parts?

​

  1. Definition: A core valve is an original manufactured automotive part that has already served its purpose in a vehicle. Instead of being discarded, it gets a second life through the remanufacturing process.

  2. Recycling and Reuse: When a part becomes worn or damaged, it is removed from the vehicle and designated as the “core.” This core is then sent to specialized facilities where it undergoes rigorous restoration.

  3. Remanufacturing Process: During remanufacturing, the core valve is meticulously disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and rebuilt. Skilled technicians follow specific technical specifications to ensure its functionality matches or exceeds that of the original part.

  4. Quality Assurance: Remanufactured core valves undergo rigorous testing to verify their performance, durability, and reliability. They are restored to a like-new condition, making them a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative.

  5. Environmental Impact: By embracing core valves and remanufacturing, we contribute to sustainable practices by reducing waste and conserving resources.
