Install The Better Coal Prep Refuse Screens
Recent changes in government legislation is breathing new life into every aspect of the coal industry.
One of the United States largest coal prep plants had been using AR400 and other popular wear resistant steel in their screens for decades.
The Best Wear Products From JADCO’s Major Competitors, Delivered Less Than One Year Of Service With Their Screens.
The coal refuse discharge screen locations are difficult to access and require significant labor and equipment downtime to change. The plant needed these screens to last longer, to provide greater availability for the finished product.
Coal refuse discharge screens handle sandstone and shale waste rock after the coal cleaning process. This challenging application combines moderate to heavy impact with very abrasive material.
JADCO QT-PLUS ® screens were selected to improve wear life and increase productivity. Longer life will result in less change outs/downtime and better plant performance.
Upgrading Their Refuse Screens To QT-PLUS ® The Plant Expected One Full Year Of Service.
We Recognize People Need To Test Our Products In Their Applications Before Ordering Additional Material.
This obviously is due to the multitude of missed promises from other ‘wear plate’ vendors in the past, who never delivered on any wear guarantees. Their material failures make JADCO products look even better in comparison.The QT-PLUS ® screens have now been in service for over a year with virtually no signs of wear.
“The customer is extremely pleased, as they expect the JADCO screens will EASILY DOUBLE THE LIFE EXPECTANCY of their previous wear plates. Wear has been reduced to the point they have stopped tracking the wear on the screens.”
They now have the luxury of changing the screens at their traditional shutdown schedule, rather than waiting for the expected failure they knew was coming when using the AR plates from other vendors.
Most New Customers Are Astonished How Much Longer JADCO Products Last, Compared To Materials They Previously Accepted As “The Best Available Wear Life”.
The resulting performance increase from using QT-PLUS ® has given their maintenance and engineering staff the confidence to order additional screens. This improvement in performance has earned us a variety of fabrication opportunities with their other wear items.
We have received orders for JADCO FLEXWEAR, CHROMEWELD™, DURACORR 300 and HARDGUARD wear material applications.
JADCO’s QT-PLUS ® delivers greater performance IN YOUR MOST CHALLENGING WEAR APPLICATIONS than any of 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 combine accurate alloy control along 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 alloy content required at the steel mill 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 cut back on these critical alloys, wear life drops, and it is always the customer who suffers.
For over 45 years, JADCO has focused exclusively on delivering consistent, longer life for our customers.
