Buhler Chain-Driven Equipment Down: Seized Pin Won’t Come Out
Your Buhler chain-driven line is stopped cold because the pin is seized and refuses to press out.
Why Pins Seize Fast
Corrosion, wear, and contamination lock pins solid during normal operation.
Downtime piles up while teams fight unsafe heat methods.
Safety risks climb and production stays blocked until the pin moves.
Why This Happens
Chain pins seize when corrosion builds up, wear widens clearances then packs with debris, and heavy load cycling plus contamination prevent free movement. The result is a pin that won’t budge under normal press force.
Equipment stays down until the seized pin is forced out safely.
