Break Seized Chain Pins Fast — No Torches. No Hammering.
Stuck chain pins in fertilizer bucket elevators lock your leg down and halt production.
Why Pins Seize in Fertilizer Elevators
Fertilizer dust, corrosion, and nitrogen-rich fines pack tight around the pin bores.
Thermal cycling and abrasion weld the pin in place and escalate a stuck chain pin instantly.
Every hour down in a fertilizer operation burns money and compounds safety exposure.
Why This Failure Happens
WH132, WDH159, and ER864 pins seize when corrosive fines infiltrate the bushings and gall the pin under load. Abrasive fertilizer dust fills the clearances, locking the pin against the sidebar. Thermal cycling hardens the contamination pack-out, making hammering or heating useless and dangerous.
