Break Seized Chain Pins Fast — No Torches. No Hammering.
Frozen chain pins in your grain elevator stop the leg cold and kill throughput.
Why Pins Freeze in Grain Elevators
Dust, corrosion, and thermal cycling pack hard around the pin and lock it solid. Frozen pins stall the leg and drive immediate production loss. A hydraulic press is the only safe, fast way to break the bind and get back online.
Why This Failure Happens
Moisture, dust, and corrosion infiltrate WH132, WDH159, and ER864 joints and create cemented pack-out around the pin. Thermal cycling tightens the fit and loads shock the pin until it galls into the bushing. Once frozen, the chain will not articulate, and the leg stalls under load.
