Break Seized Chain Pins Fast — No Torches. No Hammering.
Rendering Conveyor Pins Seized by Corrosion & Fat Buildup During Critical Downtime.
Why Pins Seize in Rendering Plants
Corrosion, fat pack-out, and abrasive contamination lock pins solid under load. Heat, dust, and buildup accelerate metal galling and freeze the joint. Downtime escalates fast when seized pins stop the line cold.
Why This Failure Happens
WH132, WDH159, and ER864 pins trap fat, moisture, and corrosive residue that hardens inside the joint. Thermal cycling and shock loads hammer the pin until galling binds it against the bushing. Once corrosion and buildup fuse the pin in place, the conveyor stalls and forces an immediate shutdown.
