ARE YOU A WEAR PLATE GAMBLER?
Far too many people choose to gamble on inexpensive wear plates for their production of wear-resistant steel applications.
Have you worked with someone who will frequently gamble on something they see as a solution, gleefully describing their purchase as a ‘Better But Cheaper’ option?
Why do we call it gambling? When other people look at what they are attempting; you can see it simply will not work. Yet they continue full speed ahead beyond all rational thought, hoping it all works as advertised when they replace their worn out equipment.
Yet every time it ends up costing you far more time and destroys your ever shrinking budget, when you once again must repair their doomed ‘deal’ attempt at a bargain. You can never recover the lost production time to yet again replace the bargain-bin-deal, than if they would have used the correct components initially.
The above diverter chute was never installed because the Fused Alloy plate from China self-destructed before it arrived at the customer. The customer turned to JADCO to have it reproduced in the correct material; when they were already out of time.
Beware of empty promises for ‘2 to 1 longer life compared to welded CCO wear plate’ at a cheaper price. It sounded great until this disaster arrived.
Interestingly, their website claims: “Due to the 100% metallurgical fusion bonding, there is no under bead cracking.” Hmmmmm. We think it may be time to rethink that strategy. What do you think?
Out of Ten (10) Potential Options:
- Seven (7) “Cheaper But Just As Good’ Options will fail to meet even minimal performance goals.
- Two (2) or three (3) will work no better or worse than what you have already been using.
- Perhaps one (1) will deliver homerun results when you partner with a vendor who understands your challenges. And JADCO has the widest product offerings to get your wear issues under control.
When considering other options you must ask yourself the following questions; and answer them honestly:
- How much will it cost you more money to determine which option will provide your best Return On Investment ?
- Are you gambling intelligently?
- Are you gambling strategically?
- Are You Getting The Results You Paid For?
Plenty of people spend their entire working lives playing a game, that was never designed for them to win.
