York Conveyor Chain-Driven Equipment: Seized Pin Blocks Restart
Pins seized solid—your York chain-driven line is down and won't restart.
Corrosion, wear, contamination cause seizure
Seized pins stop production cold and pile up pressure on your shift. Torch risks add danger while you fight to get moving again. Corrosion, wear, and contamination lock pins tight—ordinary methods fail when you need the equipment back fast.
Why This Happens
Chain pins seize from corrosion buildup, abrasive wear on pin surfaces, and contamination packing into joints. Repeated load cycling and thermal effects worsen the grip. The result is stuck pins that resist pressing out, causing extended downtime and safety hazards during repair.
