Universal Bucket Elevator Down: Seized Pin Won’t Press Out
Seized chain pin blocking Universal bucket elevator restart.
Why Chain Pins Seize
Line stalled, production stopped by frozen chain pin.
Torch attempts risk damage and safety issues.
Pin won’t move under standard press force.
Why This Happens
Corrosion and contamination pack into pin joints over time. Load cycling and wear tighten clearance until pins seize. Result: chain locked, equipment down, restart blocked.
