Andritz Chain-Driven Equipment Down: Seized Pin Won't Press Out
Your Andritz chain-driven line is stopped cold because seized pins refuse to move.
Corrosion, Wear, Contamination
Pins seize tight from corrosion buildup, heavy wear, and abrasive contamination. Your crew can't press them out with standard tools, leaving the entire system down. Safety risks climb while torching adds fire hazards and delays restart.
Why This Happens
Chain pins seize when corrosion locks them in place, wear enlarges clearances allowing debris pack-out, and constant load cycling plus contamination bind the joint solid. This blocks normal removal, forcing shutdowns until pins release. The result is hours or days of lost production.
