Demontavimas

Demontavimas is the process of disassembling a device, machine, or structure into its individual components. The term is used in engineering, maintenance, and decommissioning contexts. The goal is to access internal parts for repair, upgrade, testing, or salvage while preserving reusable components where possible.

Typical domains include manufacturing equipment, automotive repair, consumer electronics, building systems, and industrial installations. Demontavimas supports component reuse, parts harvesting, and recycling, and is often part of planned maintenance, decommissioning, or end-of-life management.

The process generally begins with planning and risk assessment, followed by isolation of energy sources and systems (lockout-tagout where applicable). A disassembly sequence is prepared, parts are labeled and documented, and appropriate tools and personal protective equipment are used. Components are stored for reuse or cataloged for repair, recycling, or disposal.

Safety and environmental considerations are central. Workers face risks such as electric shock, sharp edges, and exposure to hazardous substances. Training, proper procedures, and compliance with local regulations are essential, as are measures to minimize waste and safely manage batteries, chemicals, and asbestos or paint residues when present.

Documentation and traceability are often required. Records help with warranty status, maintenance history, and regulatory compliance. Demontavimas should follow manufacturer guidelines and applicable standards for safety and environmental protection.

When completed, demontavimas yields components and materials ready for repair, refurbishment, resale, recycling, or disposal.
