Patent abstract
A lubrication system for delivering high temperature lubricant to a conveyor moving a foodstuff in a heated environment. The lubrication system determines the position of multiple wear points of the conveyor and the speed of the conveyor in order to lubricate the multiple wear points during operation of the conveyor. A single sensor is used to determine both the position of the wear points and the speed of the conveyor. The lubrication system is configured to lubricate the wear points while the conveyor is moving and the foodstuff is being heated. The lubrication system minimizes the amount of lubrication needed in accordance with the nonfood compound regulations for lubricants.
