Present Problems

Do You Only See Current Problems?

JADCO • Rich F.2025-03-24T14:37:10-04:00

As I write this, stock market analysts are warning everyone of an upcoming “Market Correction”. They believe it is coming soon, and we need to prepare ourselves for some temporary short term losses.

While talking with a friend about investments recently, he said one of the most accurate statements I have heard in some time:

“Most people only pay attention to the problem in front of them now, not those issues down the road.”

While investment news makes headlines, this statement applies to wear resistant steel applications as well.

It is VERY EASY to get caught up in the multitude of your day to day or hour by hour tasks, issues, and challenges of life. And easily lose sight of your important long term objectives.

Most People Don’t Know, What They Don’t Know.

When your equipment fails, anxiety kicks into overdrive. You scramble trying to find something to get it patched and running ASAP. It isn’t long before you start to worry about when your next breakdown will occur.

Many people who have wear resistant steel in their equipment are still uncertain how to evaluate which wear plate is the best choice for their specific applications.

Wash Plant Box
This aggregate wash plant struggled with high abrasive wear every year, adding patch over patch without addressing the need to identify the right wear material. After installing CHROMEWELD ™ 600, it has now been in use for over 5 seasons.

Which location in your equipment is crying out for you to improve your wear plate results?

Think For A Moment, Have You Been Struggling With A Wear Issue In Your Equipment Far Too Long?

This Is Your Opportunity To Conquer It At Last

It’s important to evaluate your wear resistant steel applications and focus on the causes, not just the symptoms. Together we will obtain the critical information needed to engineer away your wear problems.

It is easy to do when you take the time to do it.

Yet thousands of mines and industrial plants in every industry continue to do what they’ve always done, day after day. They are so busy putting out one fire after another they no longer search for better products or a new way to do things.

Suffering with emergency maintenance projects usually results in low-quality repairs. Often this arises from your team not having enough time or resources to improve the effectiveness found with strategic repairs.

Short-term repairs almost guarantee the need for more re-work. This increases the safety risks for your team, as they become complacent with repeated ‘temporary’ repairs.

Don't Patch

Does it feel like you are continually patching your wear resistant steel breakdowns? This leaves maintenance wondering, “How will we ever get this under control?” Using the same materials will guarantee the same results. Stop the madness and contact JADCO today.

Together We Will Review Your Past Results And Identify Your Greatest Opportunities For Improvement

Where Are You Frequently Patching?

It doesn’t matter if your standard wear plate life lasts 2 weeks, 2 months or 2 years. What matters most is it fails when you cannot afford to be broken down.

As the leading manufacturer of Chrome Carbide Overlay (CCO) plate in the USA, you can depend on better results with JADCO. Most steel distributors buy foreign CCO which has little carbide content, and even less quality control.

Our entire CHROMEWELD family of CCO products are made at our headquarters in Harmony, PA, 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.

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.

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. This is why we deliver better performance results for our customers.

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 clad plate gives out, give JADCO a shout!
