Dust Extraction
The integrated Ventilation Sleeve provides localized dust extraction to contain airborne dust and vapor. The full perimeter slot design provides 360 degrees of extraction to ensure that proper air velocity is maintained in the dust zone despite obstructions, such as an operator’s hands or a drum liner.
Customizable
The Mobile Ventilation Sleeve shape and size can be customized to fit most applications. The Mobile Ventilation Sleeve can be built to work with any application height.
Cleanability
The Mobile Ventilation Sleeve has a removable cover that provides wipe-down access to all surfaces of the sleeve.
Utility Requirements
The Mobile Ventilation Sleeve can be connected to any in-house dust extraction system or mobile dust collector/filter system. Utility requirements vary according to the diameter of the Mobile Ventilation Sleeve (airflow recommendations shown below).

*For Elliptical Ventilation Sleeves, use equivalent circumference.
**Flow recommendations are calculated to provide:
• Capture Velocity [at center]: 150 ft/min (approximately)
• Duct Velocity: 3500+ ft/min
Weighing and Dispensing
The combined use of the Rheo Side Mount Drum Tipper and Mobile Ventilation Sleeve is an ideal way to safely and simply weigh and dispense from one container into another. Usually this configuration is used with either and in-floor or bench scale for weighing.
The Side Mount Drum Tipper allows the operator to safely and quickly empty contents from one container to another. The Mobile Ventilation Sleeve is suspended just above the receiving drum to prevent interference with the weighing operation and collects airborne dust that would otherwise escape from the receiving drum. Both pieces of equipment are mobile to allow repositioning around a dispensary or other areas where the system would be used.
Surface Finish
Rheo offers several different surface finish options to fit your application needs.
