Schlagel Drag Conveyor Down: Seized Chain Pins Won't Press Out
Your Schlagel drag conveyor is stopped dead by stuck chain pins.
Why Chain Pins Seize
Production is stalled and pressure is mounting with the line down.
Torch cutting risks damage and safety incidents on seized pins.
Pins won't move due to corrosion, wear, and contamination buildup.
Why This Happens
Corrosion from moisture and contaminants bonds pins tightly in bushings. Wear and load cycling deform components, increasing friction and pack-out. Thermal effects and debris accelerate seizure, blocking pin movement and halting the chain.
Why Operators Choose Kingpin Breaker
No torch required, eliminates heat-related risks
