JADCO ATTENDING THE TIMBER PROCESSING & ENERGY EXPO

September 23 to 25, 2026

Portland Exposition Center, BOOTH #912

Portland, Oregon

The wood products industry knows that keeping material moving means keeping equipment running.

That makes the Timber Processing & Energy Expo 2026 an ideal opportunity for JADCO to meet with sawmill operators, wood products manufacturers, biomass producers, maintenance professionals, and equipment manufacturers facing tough wear problems every day.

TP&EE returns to the Portland Exposition Center in Portland, Oregon, September 23 to 25, 2026. Presented by Hatton-Brown Publishers and supported by Timber Processing, Panel World, and Wood Bioenergy magazines, the event is recognized as the Pacific Northwest’s premier gathering for wood products manufacturers and biomass energy producers. Organizers expect more than 1,200 registered attendees and more than 150 exhibiting companies.

JADCO Manufacturing will be exhibiting at Booth #912.

WOOD MAY NOT LOOK ABRASIVE. YOUR EQUIPMENT KNOWS BETTER.

Wood processing presents its own unique wear challenges.

Bark, wood chips, hog fuel, biomass, sand, dirt, rocks, and other contaminants can continuously attack the equipment used to process and move material throughout an operation. Add impact, high material volumes, repeated loading, and constant production schedules, and seemingly ordinary wear can quickly become an expensive maintenance problem.

Chutes, hoppers, conveyors, transfer points, feeders, debarking equipment, chip-handling systems, bins, and other processing equipment can all experience premature wear.

And when production equipment wears out, the cost is rarely limited to replacing a piece of steel.

There is maintenance labor. Lost production. Unscheduled shutdowns. Replacement parts. And the possibility of repairing the same problem again because the material selected the first time was not designed for the application.

JADCO HELPS WOOD PROCESSORS MAKE WEAR LAST LONGER.

At Timber Processing & Energy Expo 2026, the JADCO team will be available to discuss wear problems throughout lumber, panel, wood fiber, and biomass processing operations.

JADCO’s CHROMEWELD family of chromium carbide overlay plate provides extreme abrasion resistance for applications where continuous sliding wear rapidly attacks conventional steel.

For applications involving severe impact combined with abrasion, QT-PLUS ^® proprietary chemistry and unique thermal heat-treating process provides a premium-quality wear-resistant plate engineered for demanding operating environments.

JADCO’s FUSION family of welding wires provides joining and hardfacing solutions for extreme abrasion and severe impact applications, while FLEXWEAR™ tungsten carbide cladding can protect complex shapes and difficult-to-line components.

For extremely severe localized wear, HARDGUARD Wear Steel Blocks combine chrome-moly white iron with a weldable mild-steel backing plate to provide exceptional wear protection.

The right solution depends on the application.

BEFORE REPLACING WORN STEEL, ASK WHY IT WORE OUT.

One of the biggest mistakes an operation can make is replacing a worn component with exactly the same material and expecting a different result.

JADCO approaches wear differently.

• Where is the wear occurring?
• What material is moving across the surface?
• Is abrasion the primary problem, or is impact contributing to the failure?
• What angle is the material hitting the equipment?
• How frequently is the component being replaced?
• Could a different wear material or liner design extend service life?

These are the types of conversations JADCO wants to have at TP&EE.

The show brings together mill owners, managers, supervisors, corporate executives, equipment manufacturers, and suppliers from across the wood products and biomass industries, creating an ideal environment for discussing real operating challenges and practical ways to improve equipment performance.

“Wood processing equipment deals with a tremendous amount of material every day, and even relatively small wear problems become expensive when they happen repeatedly. We want customers to bring us those applications that never seem to last long enough. Understanding why something is wearing is the first step toward finding a better solution.”

If you are attending Timber Processing & Energy Expo 2026, stop by Booth #912 and talk with the JADCO team.

Bring us the component that keeps wearing out. Show us the application that requires too much maintenance. Tell us where downtime is costing you production.

Let’s find a wear solution that lasts longer.
