Abstract
The present invention provides a system for applying an anti-corrosion fluid to an anchor chain or cable. The system may include at least one set of nozzles disposed on the inner periphery of a conduit. Furthermore, at least one flap may be disposed on the inner periphery of a conduit, below the nozzles, for catching and smearing the fluid on the cable. Additionally, the invention may contain a reducer, attached to the bottom of the conduit, that may contain a flap, for catching the excess fluid and smearing the fluid on the cable.
Claims19
A system for applying an anti-corrosion fluid to a chain or a cable comprising:
- a reservoir supplying the anti-corrosion fluid;
- a conduit oriented vertically;
- at least one set of nozzles disposed on an inner periphery of the conduit, for applying the anti-corrosion fluid to the chain or the cable;
- at least one flap disposed on the inner periphery of the conduit below the at least one set of nozzles;
- and
- wherein the at least one flap catches an excess fluid and smears the excess fluid onto the chain or the cable.
A method for applying an anti-corrosion fluid to a chain or a cable comprises:
- providing a conduit oriented vertically;
- supplying the anti-corrosion fluid from a reservoir to at least one set of nozzles;
- dispensing the anti-corrosion fluid through the at least one set of nozzles disposed on an inner periphery of the conduit onto the chain or the cable;
- and
- passing the chain or the cable through at least one flap disposed on the inner periphery of the conduit below the at least one set of nozzles;
- and
- catching and smearing an excess fluid to the chain or the cable with the at least one flap.
