ABSTRACT

A conveyor lubricating system includes a lubricant feed line, a lubricant
applicator including a lubricant flow regulator and a lubricant brush, and a
cantilevered support arm including a first rigid member and a second rigid
member connected together by a pivoting joint. The lubricant flow regulator is
fluidly connected to the lubricant feed line and the lubricant brush is
fluidly connected to the lubricant flow regulator. The lubricant brush
includes bristles and a manifold to distribute the conveyor lubricant across a
width of the lubricant brush. The first rigid member is secured to the
lubricant applicator at an end opposite the pivoting joint and the second
rigid member is secured to a stationary support such that the second rigid
member is cantilevered over a conveyor and such that the lubricant brush
contacts the conveyor. An associated method of applying conveyor lubricant to
a conveyor is also provided.
