SCAFCO Bucket Elevator Down: Seized Chain Pin Won’t Press Out
Your SCAFCO bucket elevator is stopped cold by seized chain pins that refuse to move.
Corrosion, wear, contamination
Downtime is killing your schedule and production targets.
Torching pins risks fire, burns, and costly delays.
These stuck pins from corrosion, wear, or packed contamination block restarts and stall the entire line.
Why This Happens
Chain pins seize when corrosion builds up, abrasive wear removes clearance, or contamination packs into the joint.
Repeated load cycling and thermal effects make pins bind tighter over time.
The result is a frozen pin that conventional tools can’t extract, halting equipment until it’s forced out.
