Weigh and Dispense (D)

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.

Rheo variable height drum tipper is right for pharmaceutical manufacturers interested in drum moving, drum dumping, drum lifting, drum tipping, etc.

Variable Height Drum Tipper

The Rheo Drum Tipper addresses the ergonomic risk factors associated with manually dumping drums. Each Drum Tipper is designed to meet the specific requirements of the application (drum weight, discharge height, discharge reach, etc.). The dual stage Variable Height Drum Tipper is configured to serve a range of discharge heights. This is ideal for workplaces where one machine must serve multiple applications or where discharge heights exceed 60 inches.



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.



Drum Mover (Supporting Product)

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.



Drum Cart with Integrated Weighing (Supporting Product)

Rheo Drum Carts allow drums to be easily moved from one location to another. Drum Carts are ideal for environments where GMP compliance is a priority. Integrated weighing allows for drums to be weighed while on the Drum Cart, eliminating the tedious step of loading a drum onto a scale. Stainless rollers are available to help facilitate the transfer of drums to and from pallets.

The load cells and readout are battery powered and capable of full wash-down. An integrated charger for the weighing system is included.
