Cummins rebuild centres

Second Quarter 2022 Electrical switching & drive systems & components

Cummins has a world-class customer service and support network to better serve its global customer base, including 21 Master Rebuild Centres (MRCs). In support of the Africa and Middle East region, the Johannesburg MRC is a trusted partner for the mining industry and can rebuild any high-horsepower engine for applications from marine to mining, power generation and construction. The MRCs provide the latest cutting-edge technology to meet industry needs, including dynamometer testing to full power for some of Cummins’ largest engines, and rebuilds ranging from 19 to 95 litres. Apart from the wide engine size range, the main advantage for customers is zero-hour rebuilds and a strip-and-quote service.

Added value features of a Cummins rebuild include:

• ISO 9001 quality certification, with a common global process to resolve quality issues.

• ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 safety and environmental certification.

• Maximising customer uptime with a swing engine programme.

• Rebuild warranty coverage.

• Lean manufacturing process.

• Use of genuine new and recon parts.

• All engines are 100% dynamometer tested, including mini-patch lube oil sampling test, and in accordance with high-horsepower engine testing standards.

• Assembled to Cummins global manufacturing standards.

• High-quality paint finish to meet customers’ colour and quality standards.
