Learn How It Works

Drag and elevator pin seizure

When drag or bucket elevator pins seize, production stops immediately.

Abrasive dust, moisture intrusion, and corrosion lock pins under load.

Downtime escalates fast during harvest and continuous ethanol runs.

Dust, fines, and moisture drive rapid pack-out that locks pins solid under load.Heat, abrasion, and corrosion accelerate seizure until the chain freezes mid-run.

Downtime escalates fast when a seized pin stops the entire drag conveyor.

Why This Happens

En-masse drag conveyors and bucket elevators run in dusty, abrasive environments where fines pack tightly around pins.

Moisture intrusion and corrosion bond pins to bushings while load shocks deform pin ends.

Misalignment and thermal cycling increase binding until the chain joint will not separate.
