COMPUTER CONTROLLED EDGE-RAIL LUBRICATION
Computer Controlled Edge-Rail Lubrication is:
Standard, (installed on all ovens) An option, (NOT installed on all ovens)
DESCRIPTION:
The edge-rail lubrication system is designed to improve the lifetime of the rail chain conveyor by periodically
applying lubrication to the chain during oven operation.
Two modes of lubrication are available, automatic and manual. Systems with automatic chain lubrication are also
capable of performing manual chain lubrication, initiated by the operator, through the Oven Operation Program.
OPERATION:
Following the enabling of an output from the controller, the system pumps oil from the reservoir, through tubing,
to stainless steel brush/wheels which are touching the chain and the oil is applied to the chain.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that this reservoir is always filled with the required lubricant. The system
generates a warning message when it calculates that the oil in the reservoir is getting low.
The lubricant type is Anderol Chian Oil XL220
During the lubrication process, the oil is applied for two complete cycles of the chain. The user may determine the
number of chain cycles between automatic lubrications. 67 is the default number.
The number of complete lubrications held within one reservoir is set to the factory default of 300. The system will
display a warning whenever it calculates that the reservoir level is getting low when the number of lubrication cycles
that have occurred reaches the tank count number in the lubrication setup screen. Since the amount of oil
dispensed in one application is system dependent, the number of complete lubrications is best found by trial and
error.
Construction:
The Auto Chain Lube System
consists of a 1 quart
polypropylene oil reservoir,
drain plug, electrically powered
pump, tubing for oil distribution,
and two stainless steel brushes
for the application of lubricating
oil directly to both oven
conveyor chains.
