On-site dry silicone lubricant production

Abstract

A dry silicone lubricant concentrate is mixed with a liquid on-site to manufacture a RTU dry silicone conveyor lubricant. The dry silicone lubricant concentrate is composed of a silicone emulsion with 1-99% silicone oil. In some embodiments, other components are added to the mixture to modify selected qualities and characteristics of the resultant dry silicone lubricant.

1 . A lubricant to apply on machinery, comprising:
 a dry silicone lubricant concentrate including a silicone emulsion with 1-99% silicone oil; and   a liquid to add to the dry silicone lubricant concentrate to form a dry silicone lubricant.   
     
     
         2 . The lubricant of  claim 1  wherein the dry silicone lubricant concentrate includes a wetting agent. 
     
     
         3 . The lubricant of  claim 1  wherein the dry silicone lubricant concentrate includes a lubricating agent. 
     
     
         4 . The lubricant of  claim 3  wherein the lubricating agent includes glycerin. 
     
     
         5 . The lubricant of  claim 1  wherein the liquid comprises water. 
     
     
         6 . The lubricant of  claim 1  wherein the liquid comprises a material selected from the group consisting of paramagnetic water, electrochemical activated water, ultra-pure water, low zeta potential water, micro-oxygenated water, water containing nanobubbles, bio-magnetized water, demagnetized water, R.O. water, sodium hypochlorite, dissolved chloride dioxide, and stabilized chlorine dioxide. 
     
     
         7 . The lubricant of  claim 1  wherein the liquid comprises a biocide solution. 
     
     
         8 . The lubricant of  claim 1  wherein the dry silicone lubricant concentrate is diluted using a dosing system. 
     
     
         9 . The lubricant of  claim 1  wherein the dry silicone lubricant prevents biofilm formation. 
     
     
         10 . A method of making a lubricant to apply on machinery, comprising:
 providing a dry silicone lubricant concentrate including a silicone emulsion with 1-99% silicone oil; and   applying a liquid to the dry silicone lubricant concentrate to form a dry silicone lubricant.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the dry silicone lubricant concentrate includes a wetting agent. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the dry silicone lubricant concentrate includes a lubricating agent. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12  wherein the lubricating agent includes glycerin. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the liquid comprises water. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the liquid comprises a material selected from the group consisting of paramagnetic water, electrochemical activated water, ultra-pure water, low zeta potential water, micro-oxygenated water, water containing nanobubbles, bio-magnetized water, demagnetized water, R.O. water, sodium hypochlorite, dissolved chloride dioxide, and stabilized chlorine dioxide. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the liquid comprises a biocide solution. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the dry silicone lubricant concentrate is diluted using a dosing system. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the dry silicone lubricant prevents biofilm formation.
