Sweet Bucket Elevator Down: Seized Chain Pins Won’t Press Out
Your Sweet bucket elevator is stopped by chain pins that refuse to move.
Why Chain Pins Seize
Production is stalled and pressure is mounting with the elevator line down.
Torch attempts risk chain damage and create serious safety hazards.
Seized pins block restart until they are removed without further complications.
Why This Happens
Corrosion and contamination build up between pin and sidebar, locking the joint. Repeated load cycling and wear pack debris tighter, preventing movement. Thermal effects or overload can seize pins solid, halting the entire chain system.
