Reconditioning Function

As the machines grow old they tend to create lot of problems due to wear out. In such cases the companies will be under dilemma to replace the equipment owing to their huge costs. Moreover, the decision making to discard the old machines which incurred huge investments is very difficult in many cases. Hence the maintenance managers will think of renovating or reconditioning of the old machine. In this function the old machine and its base or basic parts will remain same but some parts may be changed. Thus the machine condition will be restored generally by replacing the worn-out parts and accessories and in rare cases a few the basic parts may be replaced.

For example a scooter after using it for about 10 to 15 years, keeping all other parts unaltered, the cylinder may be re-bored to next size and a suitable piston may be replaced to use for another three to five years.
