RBG

Overview

The Hobart RBG-2 is a rotary bin — a large aluminum tub set in a stainless steel frame on casters — that Hobart lists among the accessories for its WEIGH WRAP wrapping systems (specification sheet F40256, C.S.I. Section 114000). At a wrap station the tub holds bulk product and rotates so the operator can reach the contents from any position, while the frame's adjustable height, from 28 7/8″ to 37 1/2″, lets the tub rim be set to match the surrounding tables and the person working at them. Supplier listings describe the tub as aluminum paired with a heavy-gauge stainless steel frame, corrosion-resistant and finished for hygienic cleaning, with a shipping weight of 65 lbs.

PartHubz supplies the RBG-2 together with the replacement parts documented for it in Hobart's CATALOG OF REPLACEMENT PARTS, Form 16464 Rev. B (August 2010), which breaks the RBG rotary bin (ML-26323) down to individual bearings, shafts, collars and fasteners on parts page PL-55589.

Key Features

• Aluminum tub with stainless steel frame — corrosion-resistant construction finished for hygienic cleaning; the frame is described as heavy-gauge in supplier listings.
• Adjustable height from 28 7/8″ to 37 1/2″ — set the tub to the working height of the wrap table and the operator.
• Rotary tub — the bin turns on its hub and shaft so contents can be reached from any side of the unit.
• Casters — the whole unit repositions around the wrap station or department.
• 65-lb shipping weight — steady handling and stability, per the spec sheet and supplier listings.
• Part of a documented accessory family — listed in Hobart's wrapping-system accessories sheet alongside the SP-5, HRT5-3, GRVCON-1 and HRT-LD136.
• Full replacement-parts support — every mechanical component is catalogued in Form 16464, from the bin itself down to individual roll pins.

Installation & Requirements

Hobart's spec sheet publishes construction, adjustable height and shipping weight for the RBG-2 — and no electrical, gas, ventilation or clearance requirements. That matches the parts diagram: the RBG is an entirely mechanical unit, with no motor, switch or cord set anywhere in its breakdown. Powered accessories in the same wrapping-system line, such as the SP-5 sealer belt, carry their own electrical specifications separately.

Placement comes down to positioning and height. The casters let the unit be rolled into place beside the wrap table, and the frame adjusts through its 28 7/8″ to 37 1/2″ range so the tub rim sits at a comfortable working height for filling trays.

The mechanical build, as shown in the parts catalog: the bin (00-442386) seats in the bin hub assembly (00-442379), which turns on the shaft with a thrust bearing (00-133108) and needle bearings (BN-002-07), located by the split collar (00-133115) and carried on the pedestal assembly (00-133110).

Operation

In daily use the tub is loaded with product, and its rotary mechanism brings contents to wherever the operator is standing — no walking around the unit. Staff at a meat or seafood counter work directly from the tub, filling trays that move on to weighing and wrapping, and the casters let the bin follow the work or be moved out of the aisle when not in use. Supplier listings also note the bin's suitability for portioning and waste-handling tasks in medium workloads.

Cleaning & Maintenance

The aluminum tub and stainless steel frame are corrosion-resistant and finished for hygienic cleaning, per the supplier listings — surfaces suited to the wet, high-turnover environment of a meat department. No cleaning sequence or maintenance interval is published in the available documentation for this model.

Maintenance is where the RBG's parts documentation matters: Form 16464 catalogues every rotating and wearing component individually — thrust and needle bearings, both shafts, the split collar, roll pins, the hub assembly, the pedestal and the bin itself — so a worn bearing or damaged shaft can be ordered as a single part rather than replacing the whole unit. Note that some components are specific to individual catalog versions of the rotary bin (collars and pedestal assemblies differ between them), so match parts to the ML number on your unit's data plate.

Applications

The RBG-2 belongs wherever Hobart weigh-wrap wrapping is in service: grocery and supermarket meat and seafood counters, butcher shops, delis and central preparation facilities. Hobart's accessory sheet groups it with equipment used around the CLA semi-automatic and NGW automatic wrappers, and suppliers categorize it under wrap-station parts and food packaging accessories.

Companion accessories in Hobart's wrapping-system line

• SP-5 powered sealer belt — 12″ sealer belt used with the CLA semi-automatic wrapping system
• HRT5-3 roller/discharge table — 36″ work area with 48″ adjustable conveyor, 28″ high
• GRVCON-1 gravity conveyor — 4 ft conveyor usable with CLA/NGW
• HRT-LD136 label dispenser — single-tier dispenser for 36″-wide tables
• Library support for PLU lookup at the HWS wrap station, and the fixed stainless side shelf for the NGW automatic wrapper
• From the parts catalog: 64A (ML-26279) and 66A (ML-26283) label dispensers — the 64A is a 12-roll unit — and the 59A platter shelf (ML-26276)

These are companions to the rotary bin, not part of it: the RBG-2 itself is the tub, frame, casters and rotating mechanism described above.
