A. Understanding the Machine
How the machine
controls the amount of oil.
The machine is capable of applying precise amounts
of lane conditioner. An explanation of how this is
accomplished will help you understand the operation of
the machine.
When conditioning a lane the head travels back and
forth across the transfer roller, applying streams of
oil as it goes. The streams (or loads) are shown in
this figure.

The size of the stream can be set to an exact
amount or volume. We achieve this exact stream
volume by using a highly accurate fluid metering
pump. This pump, running at a constant speed,
gives absolute positive displacement of the oil.
The accuracy of the pump is
1%.
