The Cat® Reman product line now includes double solenoid valves for underground mining applications. These valves are remanufactured to the same high specifications as new solenoids using the same Cat OEM-designed components, the same quality checks and the same test equipment. They incorporate all critical engineering changes and updates and meet MSHA regulations for Intrinsically Safe components. Available off the shelf at a fraction of the price of new, Cat Reman valves are backed by a same-as-new warranty.

Caterpillar states: “Both new and Cat Reman valves are designed to perform reliably in extreme conditions and withstand harsh underground mining environments. They are made with top quality materials including chrome and gold, which provide corrosion resistance to improve connectivity and reliability. Unlike other brands, Cat new and Cat Reman double solenoid valves feature sealed electronic components to eliminate potential for spark ignition of underground gases and coal dust.”

The company adds: “All seals and fasteners are installed and torqued to precise specifications to maximise protection against dust, water and other contaminants. Whether longwall managers prefer new Cat parts or the Cat Reman option, both are readily available through the Cat dealer organisation, and both can be installed quickly to maximise uptime.”
