RBG-C

Overview

The Hobart RBG-C is a rotary bin in Hobart's rotary bin family, sold under two catalog numbers: ML-26322 and ML-44195. Both appear in Hobart's Catalog of Replacement Parts for Rotary Bin and Accessories, Form 16464 Rev. B (August 2010), alongside the related RB (ML-23113), RBC (ML-26366) and RBG (ML-26323) bins and the accessories Hobart groups with this line: the 64A label dispenser (ML-26279), the 66A label dispenser (ML-26283) and the 59A platter shelf (ML-26276).

The layout is straightforward: a large round bin mounts through a bin hub assembly onto a shaft, the shaft is carried by a thrust bearing and needle bearings set in the pedestal, and the bin rotates on the stand so an operator can reach all of the contents from one position. On the RBG-C, the pedestal assembly is listed in stainless steel (part 00-442384, shown as SST), and the hub is locked with a split collar on the ML-26322 build or a clamping collar on the ML-44195 build. A swivel caster (00-184661) is catalogued for the RBG-C so the unit can be repositioned on the production floor.

Key Features

• Rotating bin on a fixed pedestal: the parts breakdown shows a thrust bearing (00-133108) and needle bearings (BN-002-07) supporting the shaft, with the bin hub assembly (00-442379) and a locking collar holding the bin in place — the bin turns, the stand stays put.
• Stainless steel pedestal: the RBG-C pedestal assembly is catalogued as SST (00-442384).
• Two factory collar arrangements: ML-26322 uses a split collar (00-133115) retained by a 1/4-20 x 3/4 in. hex socket cap screw (SC-040-10); ML-44195 uses a clamping collar (00-442785) retained by a 1/4-28 x 5/8 in. hex socket cap screw (SC-087-05).
• Two shaft lengths catalogued: an 18 in. shaft (00-133109) and a long 24-1/2 in. shaft (00-442528) both appear in the rotary bin listings.
• Built-in mobility: a swivel caster (00-184661) is listed for the RBG-C, with cup-point set screws (SC-075-10) and roll pins (RP-004-17) among the retained hardware.
• Component-level parts support: every part from the bin and hub down to individual lockwashers carries a Hobart part number in Form 16464, so replacements are ordered by number rather than by guesswork.

Replacement Parts

Form 16464 breaks the RBG-C down to the component level, which is what you want when a unit has been in service for years. Bearings are the obvious wear items: the thrust bearing (00-133108) carries the bin load while needle bearings (BN-002-07) guide the shaft, and both are catalogued individually. Collars, set screws and roll pins are listed separately too, so a stripped cup-point set screw or a sheared roll pin does not mean replacing the whole pedestal.

The collar difference between the two RBG-C catalog numbers matters when ordering hardware: SC-040-10 (1/4-20 x 3/4 in. hex socket) belongs with the split collar on ML-26322, and SC-087-05 (1/4-28 x 5/8 in. hex socket) belongs with the clamping collar on ML-44195. PartHubz supplies these Hobart replacement parts by catalog number, along with the accessories in the same document.

Applications

Bakeries and in-store supermarket production areas put rotary bins to work as mobile, rotating tubs for dough and bulk product. The bin spins on its pedestal so staff can work the contents from one position, and the swivel caster lets the whole unit be rolled out of the way for cleaning or storage. Dealers list the family under food packaging equipment, and the related RBG-2 is described as a large round metal tub on a wheeled stand, with an aluminum tub on a stainless steel frame and casters.

The accessories in Form 16464 show how the bin anchors a small packaging or labeling station: the 64A label dispenser holds twelve label rolls (the catalog lists finger pairs and spacers for the dispenser assemblies), the 66A label dispenser (ML-26283) is the second dispenser in the document, and the 59A platter shelf adds a landing surface alongside. Keeping bin, shelf and labels in one spot cuts the walking out of repetitive packaging work.
