Under the support of HNU, the Engineering Research Center of Green Remanufacturing Technology for Machinery Equipment of Hunan Provincewas jointly established by Hunan FZR Power Remanufacturing Co., Ltd.; Hunan 3T New Materials Co., Ltd.; Hunan Xuanyuan Chunqiu Engineering Machinery Remanufacturing Co., Ltd; and, Hunan Jiacheng Additive Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

The center is functioned as a public platform that integrates process, materials, equipment, information, remanufactured parts and complete machines. It also engages in R&D and exemplary application of a complete remanufacturing industry chain. The center broke through technical bottlenecks and has developed a complete innovation chain from high-end remanufacturing, intelligent remanufacturing to in-service remanufacturing. It takes the lead in sound development of remanufacturing industry in Hunan and even in China, is the driving force for the transformation and upgrades of the mechanical equipment manufacturing industry to achieve sustainable development.

The center is home to four sub-centers:dynamical system remanufacturing, new materials, excavator remanufacturing, and additive remanufacturing.

It has three research orientations, including

-Remanufacturing process, material, and equipment technology;

-Disassembling, cleaning, and testing technologies; and,

-Informationization and intelligent technology of remanufacturing.

The center has 34 members, including 18 with a senior professionaltitle or above, 25 with bachelor’s degree or above. There are 29 researchers, 5 administrative staff. Prof. Liu Jichang is the center’s academic leader.
