Andritz Chain-Driven Equipment Down – Can't Press Out Seized Pin
Seized pins are blocking restart on your Andritz chain-driven equipment right now.
Corrosion, wear, contamination
Your line is stalled and every hour costs thousands.
Torching risks fire and burns in tight spaces.
Pins won't budge due to corrosion buildup, abrasive wear, or packed contamination.
Why This Happens
Chain pins seize when corrosion pits surfaces, wear enlarges clearances then packs debris, and contamination grinds joints tight under load. This creates massive resistance, stopping manual or basic presses.
The result: extended downtime and safety hazards during forced removal.
