Abstract

A greasing system comprising a lubricant; pressurized air; a spray nozzle assembly in communication with the lubricant and the pressurized air having a spray nozzle manifold that further includes a valve bar assembly having a lubricant reservoir in communication with the lubricant; a plurality of proportional solenoid valves in communication with the lubricant reservoir; a plurality of lubricant passages in communication with the proportional solenoid valves; a plurality air passages in communication with the source of pressurized air; and a plurality of valves positioned in-line between the pressurized air and each air passage; and a nozzle bar assembly detachably connected to the valve bar assembly that further includes lubricant passages in communication with the lubricant passages in the valve bar assembly; air passages in communication with the air passages in the valve bar assembly; chambers in communication with corresponding lubricant passages in the nozzle bar assembly and corresponding air passages in the nozzle bar assembly, wherein lubricant is deposited in each chamber through the lubricant passage; and a spray nozzle in communication with each chamber, wherein the pressurized air is used to propel droplets of lubricant from the nozzle.
