Break Seized Chain Pins Fast — No Torches. No Hammering.
Cement bucket elevator down with a stuck chain pin that won’t press out.
Why Pins Seize in Cement Elevators
Heat, dust, and abrasive fines pack into the chain bores until the pin locks solid. Cement drag and bucket elevator chains run hot, cycle constantly, and build corrosion that freezes the pin in place. Downtime escalates fast when a stuck pin stalls the entire elevator.
Why This Failure Happens
Cement bucket elevator chains (WH132, WDH159, ER864) trap dust and abrasive fines that compact around the pin and cause galling. Heat and thermal cycling swell the link bores, locking the pin even tighter under load. Corrosion and pack-out prevent any movement, turning a routine changeout into a full-production stoppage.
