Sweet Bucket Elevator Down: Seized Pins Won't Press Out
Your Sweet bucket elevator is stopped by frozen chain pins that refuse to move.
Why Chain Pins Seize
Production is stalled and pressure is mounting with the line down.
Torch attempts risk damage and create serious safety hazards.
Corrosion, wear, and contamination pack pins tight—pins won't move under normal press force.
Why This Happens
Corrosion and contamination build up between pin and sidebar, creating tight bonds over time. Repeated load cycling and wear deform surfaces, increasing friction and pack-out. The result is seized pins that block chain disassembly and halt equipment restart.
