Break Seized Chain Pins Fast — No Torches. No Hammering.
Emergency pellet plant chain failure caused by seized pins stopping critical throughput.
Why Pins Seize in Pellet Plants
Pellet plants run hot, abrasive, dust-loaded systems that hammer chain joints every cycle. Heat, fines, corrosion, and pack-out lock pins solid, creating sudden seized failures. Downtime escalates fast when a frozen pin stops conveyors feeding the press line.
Why This Failure Happens
WH132, WDH110, and H-series chains pack with fines that absorb heat and harden inside bushings. Corrosion and thermal cycling weld the pin to the bushing wall under continuous load. Once seized, the joint locks, torques the flight bar, and stalls the conveyor instantly.
