One Size Does Not Fit All

JADCO Can Transform Your Business

JADCO • Rich F.2024-12-30T12:09:15-05:00
Pop Quiz: How often have you dealt with salespeople who didn’t listen to what you said you needed, and just waited to talk about their products?

My guess is far too often.
The last thing you need are more people wasting your time and ignoring your needs. Amazing how people ignore what you are asking them to do, so you can hand over your money. Usually this is because they only sell one or two items and are desperate to convince you, you can’t live without it.

ONE SIZE CERTAINLY DOES NOT FIT ALL.

Their only interest is getting deeper into your wallet, regardless if it will work better than what you are struggling with now.

We understand your unique wear applications are different, or you would have solved them already.

First: What specific results are you targeting?

Let’s narrow down some common wear categories and take a look at some material recommended for each. You deserve better results in your equipment, don’t you?

1. Are fine particles wearing away your current wear plate faster than you like?

Woodyard

Papermill woodyards struggle with fine wood particles and dust, where a material change will fix this issue.  For fine particles in high velocity applications, CHROMEWELD ™ Nb PLUS combines our industry standard best Chrome Carbide Overlay (CCO) plate with Niobium Carbide particles to deliver remarkable abrasion resistance. This works extremely well for sand and pulp & paper fiber applications.

2. Is your challenge earth to metal wear?

Haul Truck

Haul truck boxes take non-stop abuse. Using old blades increases the weight, impacting load volume, fuel use along with extra wear on tires and bearings.

Earth moving equipment of all types perform best with liners made from JADCO QT-PLUS ®, our quenched and tempered alloy wear plate. The ability to last 3 to 4 times longer than commodity AR400, means they re-order, which earns JADCO customers for life. Why not give the industry’s best performing wear plate a try in your most challenging locations? You will be impressed by what is possible compared to what you have been currently using.

3. Does your equipment get beat up from a combination of abrasion with impact? Most Abrasion Resistant steel can’t tolerate more than light impact. We can fix that.

Impact & Abrasion

Allow us to introduce you to CHROMEWELD ™ Ti. This CCO plate fills the gap between a Chrome Carbide designed only for abrasion, and a heat treated steel for impact resistance. CHROMEWELD Ti withstands 24” rocks falling six feet onto the deck and doesn’t shatter like you see with generic CCO plates. Where do you need to install Ti to withstand the abuse in your equipment?

4. Do you struggle with metal to metal wear?

Inner & Outer

Inner and outer liners on grapple arms extend the equipment life significantly.

Recycling industries are unique in that they will often use what is on hand, not knowing what it is or where it came from. From grapple arm liners to magnet side impact wear bands and cyclones, you will raise your performance using JADCO QT-PLUS ®, and do the job right.

5. Does your wear plate need to withstand high temperatures?

Heat Damage

Unplanned failures create havoc with production schedules and maintenance budgets. Use the right material for the job.

Many people are not aware that heat treated alloy steels lose their hardness at temperatures over 500° F. High temperature applications such as steel mills and foundries test every wear resistant steel available. This is why JADCO developed CHROMEWELD ™ COMPLEX. This clad plate is ready to take on your worst possible conditions.  When Chrome Carbide alone isn’t enough, we add the big gun carbides: Niobium, Vanadium and Tungsten Carbides in making CHROMEWELD ™ COMPLEX. When only the best available wear resistance will do, this is your solution.

Is COMPLEX expensive? Naturally. You don’t get top of the line performance at discount club pricing. But the real world results are why those who need this level of wear resistance reorder it, rather than changing out cheaper wear steel every couple of months. But not everyone is qualified for this high end, wear resistant steel creation.

Whatever Your Wear Application, JADCO Will Deliver Longer Life For Your Equipment

For over the last 44+ years JADCO has focused exclusively on delivering consistent, longer equipment life for our customers.

We are able to deliver better results to our customers, because we think differently. How?
