Abstract: A lubricating tube and a lubrication system are configured to lubricate an apparatus having a rolling component. The lubrication system includes a fluid reservoir containing a fluid, a fluid line coupled to the fluid reservoir; and the lubricating tube, which is disposed between the fluid line and the rolling component. The lubricating tube includes a rigid cylindrical body surrounding a cavity and having an outer circumferential surface. An inlet of the lubricating tube is coupled to the fluid line and provides fluid communication between the fluid line and the cavity. A plurality of ports is disposed on the outer circumferential surface and is configured to dispense the fluid to the rolling component. A location of each port of the plurality of ports from the inlet is customizable.

Abstract: A conveyor condition monitor, for use with a conveyor comprising a plurality of trollies running along a conveyor rail and linked to one another by a chain link system, is disclosed. The monitor comprises a conveyor monitoring station and a first deformation sensor. The deformation sensor is in communication with the conveyor monitor, and is adapted to notify the conveyor monitor of the presence of a deformed trolley in the conveyor.

Abstract: A conveyor condition monitor, for use with a conveyor comprising a plurality of trollies (12) running along a conveyor rail (14) and linked to one another by a chain link system, is disclosed. The monitor comprises a conveyor monitoring station (3) and a first deformation sensor (5a, 5b). The deformation sensor (5b) is in communication with the conveyor monitor, and is adapted to notify the conveyor monitor of the presence of a deformed (13b) trolley (12) in the conveyor.

Abstract: A nozzle mount assembly for use in soft excavation. The assembly includes a vacuum tube, nozzle ports, and a wear ring. The vacuum tube defines air flow passages including an open lower end of the vacuum tube and air relief slots located near its lower end. The nozzle ports are defined by a manifold having air troughs located between the nozzle ports. Each nozzle port is configured to receive a high-pressure fluid nozzle. One nozzle port is angled toward the center of the vacuum tube, and two nozzle ports are angled away from the vacuum tube. The nozzle port angled toward the center of the vacuum tube is configured to direct a fluid stream through an air relief slot in the vacuum tube.
