Learn How It Works

Abrasion, corrosion, and pack-out in heavy drag and elevator chains

Bulk terminals run abrasive materials in enclosed drag conveyors and bucket elevators daily.

Moisture, dust, and corrosion lock pins into side plates under load.

Downtime starts the moment a seized pin stops chain movement.

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

Drag conveyors and bucket elevators operate in abrasive, moisture-exposed environments that drive contamination into chain joints. Corrosion bonding, fines pack-out, galling, and thermal cycling create tight interference between pins and side plates. Under shock loading or misalignment, pins deform slightly, seize in place, and stop material flow.
