Schlagel Drag Conveyor Down? Seized Pin Won’t Press Out
Schlagel drag conveyor stopped by a seized chain pin.
Common Chain Pin Seizure Causes
Corrosion and contamination pack around pins; pins won’t move. Wear stalls removal attempts under load. Your line stays down until the pin is out.
Why This Happens
Corrosion builds between pin and sidebar, locking the joint. Contamination and wear pack material tight, increasing seizure under repeated load cycling. Result: pin refuses to press out, blocking chain repair and restart.
