LUBRICANT FOR CONVEYOR CHAINS FOR PACKAGED PRODUCTS

摘要

The invention relates to a lubricant for conveyor chains which are used to convey packaged products. For lubrication purposes, the lubricant is applied directly, without being diluted, in a non-continuous manner for prolonged periods of time, such as to leave a layer or film on the surface of the conveyor chain. The inventive lubricant consists of a homogenous mixture comprising: one or more silicon fluids, such as emulsified polydimethylsiloxane; one or more fatty acids, such as oleic acid; one or more amines, such as the surface-active product derived from an ethoxylated amine; one or more hydrocarbons, such as white mineral oils; one or more emulsifiers, such as sorbitan monooleate; and one or more polyglycols, such as polyalkylene glycol or alternatively a microbicide.
