Break Seized Chain Pins Fast — No Torches. No Hammering.
Stuck chain pins in pellet mill conveyors lock up production and force immediate shutdowns.
Why Pins Seize in Pellet Mills
Heat, dust, fines, and corrosion pack into engineered-class joints until the pin locks solid. Downtime spikes fast as a frozen pin traps the WH- and WDH-series chain in place. A hydraulic removal tool is the only way to break the seizure safely and fast.
Why This Failure Happens
Pellet mill drag chains like WH132, WDH159, and ER864 pack with fines and heat-cycled dust until moisture intrusion bonds the pin and bushing. Galling and corrosion lock the joint, and load shocks deform the pin shoulder. The frozen assembly prevents movement and halts the conveyor instantly.
