Weigh and Dispense (E)

Building a pre-weighed material kit that is then transported to a manufacturing space for batch processing is a critical function. Providing a work space that is equipped to handle a wide variety of containers and materials that vary in their OEL specification can be a challenge.

Rheo offers several configurations of our dispensary packages. Ask your account manager how these devices can be assembled to offer an operator friendly, yet highly contained dispensary design.

Fixed Mount Slewing Drum Inverter

The Rheo Drum Inverter features a very robust and portable design that allows operators to lift and position drums above tall applications. Custom options on the Drum Inverter allow it to accommodate a wide variety of applications. A variety of compression cone designs are available to allow the Drum Inverter to be used with a range of drum diameters. The optional empty assist feature addresses the issues associated with powders trapped in the folds of the drum liner during inversion.

For operations where a mobile Drum Inverter is not necessary, the Fixed Mount Slewing Drum Inverter fixes the same basic inverter design in one location. The column rotates via a slewing bearing, allowing the operator to load a drum in one position and then rotate the machine into position over the discharge point. The slewing motion can be manual with mechanical stops or powered with automated stops to ensure repeatability during operation.



Mobile Ventilation Sleeve

The Rheo Ventilation Sleeve provides localized dust extraction to capture airborne dust and vapor. The full perimeter slot design provides 360 degrees of extraction to ensure that the required capture velocity is achieved across the entire opening of the Ventilation Sleeve. Each Ventilation Sleeve is engineered to interface with the equipment it serves.

The Rheo Mobile Ventilation Sleeve allows the Rheo Ventilation Sleeve to be portable and utilizes a simple linkage design that makes the height adjustable.

The integrated transport cart allows the Ventilation Sleeve to be easily moved from one location to another. A lift-assist mechanism attaches the Ventilation Sleeve to the transport cart, allowing the height of the Ventilation Sleeve to be adjusted.



Bins

Rheo offers a wide range of standard bin (IBC) sizes in both square and round geometries. We can also create custom sizes to fit your application needs. Each bin (IBC) is built to the highest quality and cGMP standards that our customers have come to expect from our team. These bins are designed to meet the strictest cleanability standards with all surfaces accessible and no hollow or limited access sections on the structure. All welds meet the Rheo weld standard and can be finished to various specifications depending on the application.
