Best Practices For Wear Applications

We often hear the term “Best Practices” at industry gatherings.

What it actually means is sharing results on problems you/we have already solved; with others within your industry.

We know what the opportunities and dangers are with each of the wear problems with your equipment. We understand our customers, and have helped them resolve their challenges in these industries:

No one wants to admit to a prospective vendor they have problems.  Each of these industries is struggling with the dramatic labor force turn-over, with Baby Boomers aging out of the workforce.  Now millennials are taking over these responsibilities and their point of reference for wear problems, is what they were told to do the first time.  This is why it is important to challenge the “But this is how we have always done it” mindset.

One of the reasons JADCO has become a leader in the wear resistant steel industry, is our experience for nearly 43 years. 

We Have Delivered Results For Our Customers, Where Some Had Struggled For Decades

New customers are often surprised at the volume of experience in overcoming wear issues where they had been struggling for years, if not decades.  It is validating to us when people recognize and value, the time and effort that goes into resolving these challenges.

If You Have Been Frustrated With A Persistent Wear Issue With Your Equipment, How Long Will You Continue To Wait Before It Is Resolved?

Together, lets explore those opportunities and see if we can apply one or more of JADCO’s Best Practices.  If we can eliminate a possible danger, and capitalize on the opportunities where you have been struggling, they turn into one of your biggest wins of the year.

This Is Exactly How You Turn Your Current Equipment Nightmares, Into Best Practice Strengths
Best Practices
In a classic example of steel that is not through hardened, you can see how this 3” thick sprocket has worn out in the center. Looking at the photo, you can see the bottom ¼” put up a fight against the wear. However, the center gave up fast. It is time for QT-PLUS ® to come to the rescue!

JADCO’s QT-PLUS ® delivers greater performance IN YOUR MOST CHALLENGING WEAR APPLICATIONS than the various AR400 steel plates you have used previously.

Being able to create wear resistant steel having the same hardness through the entire thickness of the steel, demands you accurately control the alloying chemistry with precise heat treating.

Doesn’t Every Steel Company Make Their Wear Plate Last As Long As JADCO QT PLUS ®?

The quick answer is No; although the attention to detail required at the steel mill in Pennsylvania is available to anyone. Yet most wear plate distributors choose to reduce the proper quantities and percentages of these essential alloying elements, to get a lower selling price.  When you have to cut back on these critical alloys, wear life always suffers.

For over the last 42+ years JADCO has focused exclusively on delivering consistent, longer equipment life for our customers.

Now you understand why we are able to deliver better results to our customers.  We think differently by strictly focusing to improve your current results.

Allow us to help you today by calling (724) 452-5252, or email info@jadcomfg.com. 

We will schedule a meeting with one of our local wear plate specialists at a time that best fits your schedule.

Remember, the only thing you have to lose by not working with JADCO, are your profits.

When your standard wear plate gives out, be certain to give JADCO a shout! (724) 452-5252.
