HRT 5

Overview

The Hobart HRT 5 is a stainless steel rolltop table — the unit that circulates in the equipment market as the "Hobart HRT5 Packing Roller Discharge Table, Stainless." Hobart's own parts documentation, Form 43001 (June 2001), catalogs replacement parts for the rolltop table line HRT 1 through HRT 6 and assigns the HRT 5 model number ML-44188. The same catalog covers the UWS GRVCON gravity roller conveyor (ML-44191) and the HRT LD 136, HRT LD 236 and HRT LD 248 label rack accessories listed alongside these tables.

Hobart's accessories literature for its weighing and wrapping equipment, spec sheet F40256 (02/23), covers the roller/discharge table with a 36-inch work area, a 48-inch adjustable conveyor and a 28-inch height. Hobart notes on that sheet that continued product improvement is its policy and that specifications are subject to change without notice — worth keeping in mind when comparing figures across different vintages of Hobart literature.

Key Features

• Heavy duty stainless steel construction. The spec sheet calls for heavy duty stainless steel, and resale listings describe the HRT 5 as stainless.
• 36-inch work area. Packing, labeling and discharge work happen on a 36-inch-long work surface.
• 48-inch adjustable conveyor. The conveyor section runs 48 inches long and adjusts, bridging the wrapper and the next station in the line.
• 28-inch height. Listed working height of 28 inches.
• Label dispenser option. Available with a single tiered label dispenser; the HRT-LD136 single dispenser is cataloged for 36-inch-wide tables.
• Wrapping-system accessory. Hobart groups the roller/discharge table with its wrapping system accessories, alongside the SP-5 powered sealer belt, RBG-2 rotary bin and GRVCON-1 gravity conveyor.
• 209 lb shipping weight. The listed shipping weight reflects the all-steel build.

Use in a Hobart Wrapping System

The roller/discharge table is one of the accessories Hobart lists for its wrapping systems — the pieces that let a weigh-wrap line be arranged around the room and the workflow. In practice the table sits at the discharge end of the line: wrapped packages come off the wrapper, travel across the roller top, and are packed, labeled and staged for the back room. The ecosystem around it on the spec sheet includes the SP-5 powered sealer belt for use with the CLA semi-automatic wrapping system, the GRVCON-1 gravity conveyor (a 4 ft conveyor used with CLA/NGW), the RBG-2 rotary bin, the HRT-LD136 label dispenser, a library support for PLU lookup used with the HWS wrap station, and a fixed stainless side shelf for the NGW automatic wrapper. The parts catalog mirrors that arrangement, listing the UWS GRVCON gravity roller conveyor and the HRT LD label racks with the HRT 1-6 tables.

Applications

The HRT 5 fits any wrap or packing operation running Hobart weighing and wrapping equipment: supermarket meat and seafood counters moving wrapped trays down a wrap line, central packing rooms, and deli or produce departments that label at the packing step. As a roller discharge table it takes finished packages off the wrapper and carries them past the packer, and with the single tiered label dispenser it keeps scale labels at hand at the packing position. Buyers also put these tables to work as standalone stainless packing and discharge tables in back-of-house areas where a roller top keeps product moving.
