Arrangement for lubricating the chain guide in a drag chain conveyor for loose articles

摘要

A drag chain conveyor has carriers (5) which cooperate with the conveyed articles and are joined to an endless conveyor chain, and which slide on guide rails (4). For the lubrication of this chain guide, each guide rail (4) has at least one lubrication point. At this point is provided a channel (8) which extends in the guide rail transversely to the guide track and which is connected to a lubricant supply pipe (9). A plurality of bores (10) starting from this channel (8) carry the lubricant to the surface of the rail in the sliding region. This lubrication arrangement permits higher conveying speeds and ensures a longer life of the conveyor chains. …IMAGE…
