ABSTRACT:
An automatic lubrication injection sanitization system for sanitizing and lubricating a conveyor chain system is disclosed. The apparatus includes an inlet water line for supplying a flow of water, an inlet sanitizer line for supplying a flow of sanitizer, and an inlet lubricant line for supplying a flow of lubricant. A pump is operatively connected to the inlet sanitizer line and the inlet lubricant line for pumping a proportionate flow of lubricant and sanitizer into the flow of water, forming an outlet mixture flow. An outlet line receives and distributes the outlet mixture flow which is applied to the conveyor chain to sanitize and lubricate the conveyor chain. Preferably, the apparatus also includes two timers which each control a solenoid. One of the timers controls a solenoid in the outlet line, allowing the outlet mixture flow to be selectively cycled ON and OFF. The other timer controls a solenoid in the inlet sanitizer line and allows the inlet flow of sanitizer to be cycled ON and OFF. The method includes the steps of providing an inlet flow of water; injecting a flow of lubricant and a flow of sanitizer into the flow of water; wherein the flow of water, the injected lubricant and the injected sanitizer form an outlet mixture; distributing the outlet mixture; and applying the outlet mixture to the conveyor chain to lubricate and sanitize the conveyor chain.
