Process The Rheo Product Screener provides a simple and GMP solution for screening product in a variety of applications. With interchangeable screen sizes and an integrated Ventilation Sleeve to capture dust, this device is a very versatile product for the important task of capturing foreign material.
Product Screener
Dust Extraction
The integrated Rheo Ventilation Sleeve captures any dust that may be generated by the transfer of dry powders. Additional dust extraction ports can be fitted to capture displaced air in the receiving container. Air flow rates are controlled by manual damper valves.
Vibratory Screener
Using a simple pneumatic turbine vibrator, the screener allows for quick screening of material during various product transfer processes. Several vibrator variations and speed settings allow the system to adapt to various applications, from V-Shell Blender discharge to Drum to Drum Weighing operations.
Cleanability
This system is fully wash-down capable and can be quickly disassembled for easy cleaning. The removable cover on the integrated Ventilation Sleeve provides wipe-down access to all surfaces of the sleeve.
Easy Screen Change-Out
Multiple screen mesh sizes are available and can easily be switched out. Should the screener not be needed for a particular operation, the screen can be removed and the device can be used as a simple dust containment control.
Utility
The Product Screener 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 integrated Ventilation Sleeve:
