Break Seized Chain Pins Fast — No Torches. No Hammering.
Jammed recycling conveyor chain stops output and forces an immediate shutdown.
Why Pins Seize in Recycling Conveyors
Heat, dust, corrosion, and packed debris drive pins to seize hard. Jammed links stall the conveyor and push downtime costs up immediately. Hydraulic force is the only reliable way to free frozen pins under abrasive, high-load conditions.
Why This Failure Happens
WH132, WDH159, and ER864 pins seize when dust, grit, and shredded scrap pack into joint clearances and drive corrosion. Thermal cycling and shock loads gall the pin and bushing until movement stops. The chain locks, stalls the conveyor, and forces a full teardown if the pin won’t press out.
