Narrative

Clinker Elevator for #2 Kiln would not run. Found out the Chute going to cross apron was plugged up with dust and large chunks of clinker. Two co-workers and I were trying to get the chute unplugged using a Jack Hammer. While I was using the Jack Hammer inside of chute the material broke loose and pinched my finger between elevator housing and the jack hammer.
