Break Seized Chain Pins Fast — No Torches. No Hammering.
Emergency chain jam in sugar mill conveyors demands fast, safe pin removal now.
Why Pins Seize in Sugar Mills
Hot, abrasive sugar dust packs tight around chain joints and locks pins solid. Corrosion and thermal cycling weld the pin into the bushing. Downtime escalates fast when a seized pin stops the line.
Why This Failure Happens
Heat, abrasive sugar fines, and corrosive moisture infiltrate WH132, WDH110, WDH120, and ER864 joints, compacting into the clearances. Load shocks deform plates and bushings, driving the pin off-axis and increasing friction. Combined pack-out, galling, and thermal cycling lock the pin until it cannot move under manual force.
