SCAFCO Bucket Elevator Down: Seized Pin Won’t Come Out
Your SCAFCO bucket elevator is stopped cold because the chain pin is seized and refuses to press out.
Why pins seize fast
Every minute the line stays down costs production and overtime. Torch methods risk burns and fire hazards in tight spots. Corrosion, wear, and contamination lock pins solid so standard tools fail under pressure.
Why This Happens
Chain pins seize from corrosion buildup, metal-to-metal wear, and packed-in contamination under heavy cycling loads. Once frozen, normal force can’t overcome the grip, halting removal and blocking chain repairs. The result is extended downtime while the system sits idle.
