Bottlenecks

Eliminate Bottlenecks

JADCO • Rich F.2025-07-22T17:31:15-04:00

Working hard on the wrong things leads to greater frustration, not progress.

Frequently the time you spent working hard would be better invested by identifying the bottlenecks in your process.

When updating new equipment, often the new installation affects the equipment in the surrounding area. This is particularly true with piping and electrical, which may need to be moved out of the way.

Bottleneck

Here is a perfect example of a new installation where they needed to modify the location of existing blow line equipment, which created a bottleneck. To reposition the blow lines and avoid impacting the new equipment, they added additional elbows to the system.

wear back
These wear backs were replaced so often, maintenance lists the date installed on the plates.

As a result of this ‘jog’ in the blow line, it created frequent blockages in the piping. Production was impacted from the downtime needed to disconnect and clean out the blocked piping.


Maintenance worked hard to keep up, but didn’t recognize the layout created their bottleneck.

They Needed To Look At Their Issue With New Eyes

The new elbow with a longer sweep eliminated the jog. It now runs in a straight shot across the room. By eliminating two elbows and a transition, most of the blockages in the system no longer occur.

Eliminate Your Bottleneck And Everything Runs Easier

bottleneck eliminated
Things will happen to derail your plans. When you anticipate these issues, you can minimize the impact when it does happen.

While the new elbow eliminated most of their blockages, we provided an access panel just before the transition. This allows them to quickly clear any obstructions without dismantling the elbow, preventing additional downtime.

How Can JADCO Help Eliminate Your Bottlenecks?

Together Let’s:

  • Review your equipment and focus on those items that currently require frequent attention
  • Review which materials you have used in the past, comparing those results to your desired outcome
  • Identify where a better wear resistant material choice will reduce the need for numerous replacements

Often the best material selection for abrasion applications is a Chrome Carbide Overlay (CCO) plate. Many people disregard this option because they are not familiar with what it is, or where it is used.

As the leading manufacturer of Chrome Carbide Overlay plate in the USA, you can depend on the results you get from JADCO.

Our entire CHROMEWELD ™ family of CCO products are made at our headquarters in Harmony, PA; just 30 minutes North of Pittsburgh.

JADCO CLAD
To make certain we deliver the longest lasting materials to our customers, JADCO has created our own clad machines. This gives us total control over every aspect of making our industry leading Chromeweld overlay plate.

Often the best material selection for abrasion applications is a Chrome Carbide Overlay (CCO) plate. Many people disregard this option because they are not familiar with what it is, or where it is used.

Never consider the CHROMEWELD ™ family of products as a “One Size Fits All” wear plate. Our customers are always looking to us for continuous improvement, and rely upon JADCO to continue to create new products, to address their specific wear challenges.

This further improves your wear plate performance results by having the Research and Development for these state-of-the-art wear resistant products. Each one is already completed and proven in real world applications, before you ever install them in your equipment.

For over 45 years, JADCO has focused exclusively on delivering consistent, longer life for our customers.

We are able to deliver better results to our customers, because we think differently. How? By strictly focusing on improving your current results.

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

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 usual screw conveyor gives out, give JADCO a shout!
