Break Seized Chain Pins Fast — No Torches. No Hammering.
Reclaimer chain pins seized from fiber buildup are stopping production and escalating downtime fast.
Why Pins Seize in Pulp & Paper
Fiber, steam, and corrosion pack tight around chain joints, locking pins in place. Heat and abrasion accelerate galling until the pin won’t move under load. With production stalled, operators need a fast, hydraulic way to force out the frozen pin.
Why This Failure Happens
WH132, WDH159, and ER864 reclaimer chains trap wet fiber and fines between bushings, driving corrosive slurry into the pin surface. Thermal cycling and side-load shocks deform the joint, increasing friction until the pin galls in place. Once seized, the chain cannot articulate, causing immediate stoppage and rising torque loads downstream.
