Break Seized Chain Pins Fast — No Torches. No Hammering.
Sugar mill cane carrier shut down by a stuck chain pin.
Why Pins Seize in Sugar Mills
Cane carriers run packed with bagasse, heat, moisture, and abrasive grit. This contamination drives corrosion and galling until the chain pin seizes solid. Downtime climbs fast and the crew ends up fighting a welded-in pin instead of running cane.
Why This Failure Happens
WH132, WDH159, and ER-series pins load up with bagasse, grit, and moisture that pack into the joint and initiate corrosion. Heat and thermal cycling expand the bushing, locking the pin mechanically. High shock loads deform the pin shoulders, preventing any movement and freezing the carrier in place.
