JADCO continues to lower nickel levels in overlay plates
To combat the destructive effect cullet can have on wear plate in glass industry operations, provider of impact and abrasion wear solutions JADCO has further reduced nickel levels in its Chromeweld series of overlay plates.
The glass industry standard for maximum allowable nickel is 0.25%. JADCO has reduced this level by another 20% with quality controls in its manufacturing process.
The result achieves well below 0.20% total nickel in Chromeweld, which has been readily accepted by most glass producers.
Chromeweld overlays are used in most glass production wear zones from handling soda ash and other raw materials, through to cullet handling.
Significantly increased wear life in applications such as batch mixer paddles, floor liners and side liners can be attributed to JADCO’s overlays.
Feeder liners under the float line to the cullet collection discharge chute and cullet feeder show substantially longer life with Chromeweld, and the overlay plates are also suitable for high heat wear applications such as furnace feed chutes.
Additional wear life ROI is possible due to the option to rotate JADCO’s cullet discharge chute for extended wear life from all four sides.
