Coal Prep Plant Tag Team

JADCO’s Tag Team For Coal Prep Plants

JADCO • Rich F.2024-07-09T13:01:49-04:00

Coal mining and processing plant equipment battle heavy wear on nearly every component handles coal.

When JADCO Began In 1980, Our Initial Focus Was On The Coal Industry

As the coal industry leader, JADCO’s CHROMEWELD ™ and QT-PLUS ® products, delivers a “Tag Team” approach to deliver longer life and less downtime for our customers.

Countersunk holes

Screens with countersunk bolt holes.

Most Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) breaker plates, are made with AR400 steel wear plate in this application. They are happy to continue selling you these items, since most plants need to change the breakers out on a monthly basis. Because their people are used to changing out these parts every month, some never consider there are better material options available.

JADCO’s solution is to make breaker plates from CHROMEWELD ™ 600. This option delivers 3 to 5 times longer wear life than the manufacturer’s replacement components. Happy customers are our best advertising.

The Second Part Of The JADCO Tag Team Are the Screens.

Screens for coal sizing are formed with various shape and size openings, depending on the customer’s size requirements.
JADCO SCREEN
QT-PLUS ® screens deliver more than 2 times longer life compared to OEM or typical AR400 steel.
You can specify any opening shape, size and configuration for your JADCO screens. Ask your operators what they believe would deliver the best size and production for your needs.

What Can You Expect Using JADCO Breakers and Screens?

Are you are currently changing out your OEM Breakers and Screens monthly?

You can now change the QT-PLUS ® screens every 2 months. And expect the CHROMEWELD ™ 600 breakers to last for 4 months.

 

Your Results?
Less inventory, less down time, fewer change-outs, greater production and profits.

What Other Wear Components Would You Like To Improve?

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 cut back on these critical alloys, wear life drops and it is always the customer who suffers.

For over the last 44+ 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 on improving 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.
