GSI Bucket Elevator Down: Seized Pin Won't Press Out
A frozen chain pin has stopped your GSI bucket elevator cold.
Why chain pins seize
Your elevator is down and pressure is mounting to restart. Torch cutting risks damage and creates serious safety hazards. Seized pins block chain repair and keep the line stalled.
Why This Happens
Corrosion, wear, and contamination build up around pins under repeated load cycling. Material packs in tight, preventing pins from moving. The chain locks solid, halting equipment operation.
