Abstract: An apparatus for mixing and diluting a concentrated liquid lubricant and a dilution material to form a diluted lubricant solution and more particularly a mass balance proportioner for weighing and mixing a concentrated lubricant and a dilution material to form a diluted lubricant having a predetermined dilution ratio based upon weight of concentrated lubricant to weight of dilution material.

Abstract: An environmentally safe sugar mill journal bearing lubricant for use in the processing of sugar cane. The sugar mill journal bearing lubricant comprises a major amount of chewing gum base derived from synthetic or natural products to prevent metal to metal contact, and an edible triglyceride oil such as lard or canola oil. Additionally, a minor amount of high molecular weight polybutene, a USDA authorized extreme pressure additive, and/or an polymeric tackifier for increasing film strength and providing boundary lubrication may be included in the lubricant.
