ABSTRACT:
A conveyor lubrication apparatus, for a conveyor having a plurality of interconnected and moveable elements arranged in a continuous closed loop and moveable in successive cycles about the loop, applies lubrication once for each pre-determined number of cycles of the conveyor past the lubrication apparatus. The apparatus includes a lubricant supply reservoir, fluid flow conduit connected to the lubricant supply reservoir for conducting lubricant to a position in proximity with the conveyor, valves disposed in the conduit and in proximity with the conveyor for controlling the application of lubricant to the conveyor, a conveyor driven pump for pressurizing and storing a quantity of lubricant under pressure in fluid communication with the valves, and a control circuit for controlling activation of the valves, which when activated release a portion of the lubricant under pressure onto the moveable elements of the conveyor.
