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.

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.

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.

Rheo offers a complete line of portable and stationary Air Filtration Units that provide a local HEPA filtration device to serve Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems. The Rheo Air Filtration Unit is designed to meet the utility requirements of multiple Rheo Ventilation Sleeves; it is also a good fit for any application with similar extraction utility requirements.

Each system is configured to comply with international electrical standards. The GMP compliant design features a small footprint and noise rating of 76 dBa. Safe Change filters and activated carbon filters for VOC’s are also available.

Rheo Air Filtration Units are a cost effective alternative to upgrading house exhaust systems that have become over utilized or where there is a need to prevent the contamination of the house exhaust system ducting.

Rheo Drum Movers are designed to engage with drums of all types (fiber, plastic, and steel). The Drum Mover allows for the lifting and transportation of heavy drums anywhere within a manufacturing facility. There are various attachments that can be easily interchanged on the Drum Mover. The Chime Gripper design has a clamp that uses the drum weight to securely tighten against the drum chime. The Side Gripper design uses grippers that close securely on the drum before lifting. For effortless push-pull motions, a battery powered wheel drive can be integrated for complete powder handling.

Rheo provides a GMP Vacuum Lift for handling bag stock and drums. Interchangeable vacuum heads allow for handling a wide variety of container shapes and types. The swing arm assembly can be customized for a floor or ceiling mount, and comes in multiple reach options.
