Break Seized Chain Pins Fast — No Torches. No Hammering.
Salt Handling Conveyor Chain Pin Seized from Corrosion Is Stopping Production Now
Why Pins Seize in Salt Handling
Corrosion loads salt conveyor chains with rust, scale, and packed debris. Severe abrasion, moisture, and chemical attack lock pins solid. Downtime spikes fast when corroded pins won’t move under load.
Why This Failure Happens
Salt conveyors drive WH132, WDH159, and ER864 chains through extreme corrosion, abrasion, and moisture. Corrosive brine and salt fines infiltrate bushings, fuse pin-to-barrel surfaces, and gall metal under load. Thermal cycling and shock loads finish the lock-up, making seized pins impossible to press out manually.
