Abstract
A method for spraying an oil, such as an MSDS exempt vegetable oil, onto a material handling surface to impede material from adhering to the surface. The method includes spraying the oil from an elevated position. The elevated position can be a platform comprising an elevated section configured to support a human operator, and spray equipment can be used to spray the oil, the spray equipment including a container for containing the oil, a hydraulic pump fluidly coupled to the container, and a spray wand and hose fluidly coupled to the pump. The spray equipment can be mounted on the platform and configured to enable an operator to operate the spray wand from the elevated section of the platform.
Claims18
A method of impeding a material from adhering to a material handling surface, comprising:
- spraying an oil onto a material handling surface such that the material handling surface is coated with the oil;
- wherein the oil is an oil selected from the group consisting of oils exempt from listing in a workplace hazardous material safety data sheet (MSDS) under Health Canada's Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System;
- and
- wherein the material handling surface is selected from group consisting of a truck bed, a trailer bed, an excavator bucket, a bulldozer blade, a packer wheel, and a loader bucket.
A method of impeding a material from adhering to a material handling surface, comprising:
- spraying an oil from spray equipment from an elevated position onto a material handling surface such that the material handling surface is coated with the oil;
- wherein the oil is an oil selected from the group consisting of oils exempt from listing in a workplace hazardous material safety data sheet (MSDS) under Health Canada's Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System;
- and
- wherein the material handling surface is selected from group consisting of a truck bed, a trailer bed, an excavator bucket, a bulldozer blade, a packer wheel, and a loader bucket.
A method for spraying an oil onto a material handling surface to impede material from adhering to the surface comprising:
- containing an oil in an oil reservoir pressure tank;
- controlling the temperature of the oil with an anti-freeze conduit extending inside the pressure tank and thermally communicable with oil in the tank, the anti-freeze conduit fluidly coupled to an anti-freeze source;
- regulating the pressure of the reservoir pressure tank with an air feed conduit fluidly coupled to an air inlet of the pressure tank and fluidly coupled to an air compressor;
- and
- spraying the oil with a spray wand and hose assembly fluidly coupled to an oil outlet of the pressure tank and the air compressor.
