Apparatus and method for lubricating conveyors

摘要

An air actuated apparatus and method for lubricating conveyors such as chains and belts is disclosed, comprising a device including air actuated valves which are alternately opened and closed by a drive system powered from the conveyor movement. The drive system is connected to a delay valve which controls a fluid valve that enables lubricating solution to be applied to the conveyor. The apparatus and method are particularly suited for conveyors operating at high speed, and may also be used to control a plurality of lubricating applicators for different conveyors in a plant.
