Learn How It Works

Abrasion and corrosion lock heavy chain joints

Drag conveyors and bucket elevators run daily in abrasive, dusty environments.

Moisture intrusion and corrosion bonding tighten already worn pin interfaces.

When pins seize, downtime spreads across crushing and loadout operations.

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

In drag conveyors and bucket elevators, abrasive fines pack between pin and bushing surfaces.

Moisture intrusion, corrosion bonding, and thermal cycling increase friction and galling inside the joint.

Shock loading and misalignment deform pins, and once seized, the conveyor or elevator stops.

Why Operators Choose Kingpin Breaker

Removes seized pins without torch heating

Hydraulic force overcomes corrosion bonding

Maintains precise alignment during press-out

Portable for field conveyor access

Works on drag and elevator chains
