DRY LUBRICANT FOR CONVEYOR CONTAINERS. Passing a container along a carrier is lubricated by applying a mixture of a water miscible silicone material and a water miscible lubricant to the container or carrier. The mixture can be applied in relatively low amounts to provide thin, substantially non-drip lubricating films. In contrast to dilute aqueous lubricants, the lubricants of the invention provide drier lubrication of conveyors and containers, a cleaner conveyor line, and reduced lubricant usage, thereby reducing waste, general cleaning and removal problems. |
