Lubricant change system for power transmission equipment

A lubrication change system for draining, flushing, and refilling an overhead gearbox mounted at the top of a conveyor consisting of:

• an overhead conveyor including a motor driven gearbox;
• said motor driven gearbox including a plurality of piping connections to a manifold located at ground level location mounting to a conveyor base;
• an oil change mobile platform having a plurality of hose reels with hoses, a fresh oil container with a fresh oil pump and a waste oil container with a waste oil pump connecting to said manifold, and a 110 VAC generator;
• said motor driven gearbox having a drain hole formed therein, said motor driven gearbox having a oil fill hole formed therein, said motor driven gearbox having an air vent hole formed therein, a first pipe connecting said oil fill hole to a first male quick disconnect coupling mounted on said manifold, a second pipe connecting said drain hole to a second male quick disconnect coupling on said manifold, a third pipe connecting said air vent hole to a third male quick disconnect coupling on said manifold;
• said motor driven gearbox including permanently plumbed piping from said drain hole, said oil fill hole, and said air vent hole to said manifold;
• said plurality of hoses on said oil change mobile platform including a first hose reel, a second hose reel, and a third hose reel;
• a first hose having a first female quick disconnect coupling at a first free end and a second free end connecting to said first hose reel, said first hose reel connecting to a flow totalizer/meter connecting to an output of said fresh oil pump, said fresh oil pump in fluid communication with a kerosene in a container for flushing a waste oil from said motor driven gearbox and said fresh oil pump in fluid communication with a fresh oil from said fresh oil container for filling said motor driven gearbox;
• a second hose having a second female quick disconnect coupling at a first free end with a second free end connecting to said second hose reel connecting to a first two position-three way sampling valve, said first two position-three way sampling valve capable of sending said waste oil into an oil sampling container in a first selected position and sending said waste oil to a waste oil filter when in a second selected position, whereby said waste oil from said filter flows into an input of said waste oil pump and on into a waste oil container;
• and
• a third hose having a third female quick disconnect coupling at a first free end and a second free end connecting to said third hose reel, said third hose reel connecting to a second two position-three way valve capable of selecting compressed air from a compressor in a first selected position or atmospheric air in a second selected position.
