1. A compounding device for mixing materials, comprising:
a housing having an upper surface;
a first material source and a second material source positioned and located above the upper surface of the housing, the first material source being distinct from the second material source and the first material source and second material source being spaced and separate from the housing;
a first fluid line operationally connected to the housing and configured to transport a first volume of fluid per unit time from the first material source along the upper surface of the housing to a final container;
a second fluid line operationally connected to the housing and configured to transport a second volume of fluid per unit time from the second material source along the upper surface of the housing to the final container;
a pump system including,
a first pump having a first rotor and a first platen located on the upper surface of the housing and which secures the first fluid line between the first rotor and the first platen, the first pump being configured to move the first volume of fluid through the first fluid line, and
a second pump having a second rotor and a second platen located on the upper surface of the housing and which secures the second fluid line between the second rotor and the second platen, the second pump being configured to move the second volume of fluid through the second fluid line;
a first rotatable valve located between the first pump and the first material source;
a second rotatable valve located between the second pump and the second material source;
a first motor connected to the first rotatable valve and a second motor connected to the second rotatable valve;
and
a first platen lock,
wherein the first platen lock is rotated in a first direction to lock the first platen in a closed position relative to the first rotor, and
wherein rotation of the first rotor draws the first material source through the first fluid line.
