Pentru a evita retragerea costisitoare a utilajelor, ajunse la sfârşitul cicluluide exploatare, proiectanţii trebuie să stabilească procedurile de recuperare, refabricareşi reciclare, înainte de specificarea atributelor structurale ale acestora. Considerareaadecvată chiar din faza de proiectare, a reciclabilităţii utilajelor, întăreşte ecologiaindustrială prin utilizarea raţională a resurselor naturale şi a energiei precum şireducerea deşeurilor. Refabricarea echipamentelor tehnologice poate fi îmbunătăţităsemnificativ, prin concepţia şi proiectarea acestora în direcţia refabricării, având învedere principiile dezvoltării durabile.Abstract. In order to avoid costly retrieving of equipment on their end of life, the designersshould state the recovery, remanufacturing and recycling procedures, before specifyingtheir structural characteristics. Taking into account effectively the recycling capacity ofequipment even since the design stage, enhances both the industrial ecology by rational useof natural resources and energy and the waste reducing. The remanufacturing of thetechnological equipment may be significantly increased by their projecting and designtowards remanufacturing, looking for the principles of durable development.Keywords: remanufacturing, recycling, technological cycle, manufacturing cycle, economic cycle1. IntroductionIntelligent original equipment manufacturers can use the remanufacturing tocollect valuable information for projects, functions and after-sales activitiesimproving. These advantages are lost if their products remanufacturing business istaken by third parties.2. RemanufacturingThe remanufacturing practitioners give remanufactured products at least the samewarranty as similar new products, showing that their products have the samequality as those new.The technological equipment is considered remanufactured when, for itsrealization are necessary the following stages:1 Ph.D. Student, Eng.: Faculty of Engineering, North University of Baia Mare, Maramureş,România, bianca.bontiu@ubm.ro.2 Student, Faculty of Engineering, North University of Baia Mare, Maramureş, România,catalincudalbu@yahoo.com.Copyright © Editura Academiei Oamenilor de Știință din România, 2011Watermark Protected
