JADCO IS COMING TO THE 2026 EAST COAST CEMENT CONFERENCE
October 8–9, 2026
Hilton Garden Inn
Summerville, South Carolina
Cement production puts equipment through a demanding combination of abrasion, impact, heat, and continuous material flow.
That makes wear an everyday maintenance concern, and a perfect reason for JADCO Manufacturing to attend the 2026 East Coast Cement Conference, October 8–9 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Summerville, South Carolina.
The two-day technical conference is designed specifically for personnel working in cement and pyro-processing facilities, bringing together producers, suppliers, engineers, and industry professionals for technical presentations, best practices, and conversations about improving plant performance.
CEMENT PRODUCTION IS HARD ON STEEL.
Raw materials do not move gently through a cement plant.
Chutes, hoppers, transfer points, feeders, cyclones, ductwork, fan components, conveyors, bins, and processing equipment are constantly exposed to abrasive material.
Some areas experience sliding abrasion. Others combine abrasion with repeated impact. In many plants, the same component is repaired or replaced again and again because it has simply become accepted as a maintenance problem.
But recurring wear should raise a question: Can we make it last longer?
That is where JADCO can help.
THE BEST WEAR SOLUTION STARTS WITH UNDERSTANDING WHY IT IS WEARING.
At JADCO, we do not start by assuming one product is right for every application.
We start with the application.
- What material is causing the wear?
- Is it sliding, falling, or impacting the surface?
- Where is the wear concentrated?
- How frequently is the component being repaired or replaced?
Understanding those conditions can help determine whether the application calls for extreme abrasion resistance, improved impact resistance, hardfacing, or a specialized solution for a difficult geometry.
JADCO offers a range of wear-resistant products, including CHROMEWELD™ chromium carbide overlay plate, QT-PLUS heat-treated wear steel, FUSION™ joining and hardfacing welding wires, FLEXWEAR™ tungsten carbide cladding, and HARDGUARD Wear Steel Blocks.
The objective is not simply to sell more steel. The objective is to help the steel you install stay in service longer.
WHAT KEEPS WEARING OUT IN YOUR PLANT?
That is the conversation we want to have in Summerville.
If your maintenance team is continually replacing the same liner, repairing the same chute, rebuilding the same transfer point, or fighting premature wear somewhere in the production process, bring the challenge to JADCO.
Sometimes the best opportunity to reduce downtime is hiding inside a maintenance task that has become so routine nobody questions it anymore.
JADCO’s Scott Rife and Ramzi Torbey will be attending the 2026 East Coast Cement Conference.
Stop by, introduce yourself, and tell us what keeps wearing out.
Let’s find a better way to keep your cement operation moving.
