Break Seized Chain Pins Fast — No Torches. No Hammering.
Jammed chain pins in frac sand conveyors stop production and require immediate no-torch removal.
Why Pins Jam in Frac Sand
Sand infiltration, abrasion, and corrosion pack the bushings until pins refuse to move. Downtime escalates fast as jammed chain joints stall drags and bucket elevators. Thermal cycling and heavy shock loads turn a stuck pin into a full shutdown.
Why This Failure Happens
WH132, WDH480, and ER864 chains trap fine silica, driving abrasive pack-out that locks pins solid. Corrosion and heat cycling tighten bushing clearances until the pin galls and seizes. Load shocks from uneven flow freeze the joint and prevent disassembly during outages.
Why Operators Choose Kingpin Breaker
Faster hydraulic force cuts frac-sand downtime
No-torch method eliminates heat-risk in dry dust
Precision alignment protects chain and tooling
Field-portable unit handles WH132/WDH480/ER864
Safer, faster, no-torch removal every shutdown
