A system for the lubrication of a drive chain of a conveyor includes a container precharged with pressurized air and at least partially filled with lubricant. A pressure regulator located within the interior of the container is connected, at one end, to a container outlet and, at the other end, to a conduit for the flow of lubricant. An adjustable needle valve located externally of the container is connected to the conduit for regulating the flow of lubricant. A solenoid valve is connected to the conduit downstream of the needle valve for controlling the flow of lubricant, and a nozzle is located downstream of the solenoid valve for dispensing a lubricant onto the drive chain. |

The drag chain conveyor has carriers (5) which cooperate with the conveyed articles and are joined to an endless conveyor chain, and which slide on guide rails (4). For the lubrication of this chain guide, each guide rail (4) has at least one lubrication point. At this point is provided a channel (8) which extends in the guide rail transversely to the guide track and which is connected to a lubricant supply pipe (9). A plurality of bores (10) starting from this channel (8) carry the lubricant to the surface of the rail in the sliding region. This lubrication arrangement permits higher conveying speeds and ensures a longer life of the conveyor chains. |

Apparatus for continuously lubricating a conveyor belt with a mixture of water and soap or detergent during normal operation and for washing the conveyor belt during a preselected time interval after normal operation has ceased. Solenoid valves are interposed in water lines to a lubricating nozzle and wash nozzles to control the flow of water to the nozzles, and pumps are provided to inject soap or detergent into each of the water lines. During normal conveyor operation, electrical power is supplied only to the lubricating line solenoid valve and the lubricating line pump to produce a lubricating spray of water and soap or detergent from the lubricating nozzle which is directed onto the belt. When the master on-off switch is switched to the "off" position, a wash timer is actuated for a predetermined interval of time and cooperates with a relay to also enable the wash line solenoid valve and the wash line pump to deliver water and soap or detergent to the wash nozzle for cleansing the conveyor belt. |

Method and system (10) for transporting products (2). A conveyor surface (1) is moving at a conveyor velocity (VI). Products (2) are provided on the conveyor surface (1) in a measurement zone (M). The products (2) move through the measurement zone (M) with a product velocity (V2) that is at least initially different than the conveyor velocity (VI). A contact between the products (2) and the relatively moving conveyor surface (1) causes the products (2) to accelerate or decelerate (a) in the measurement zone (M) depending on a kinetic friction coefficient (μk) there between. A control signal (S) is indicative of the acceleration or deceleration (a) of the products (2) in the measurement zone (M). The kinetic friction coefficient (μk) is controlled based on the control signal (S) to keep the acceleration or deceleration (a) within a predetermined threshold range. |
