Instant Products
Quick helpers in everyday life
Creamy pudding, hearty broth, or a quick coffee – Zeppelin Systems has the right process for an excellent solution.
Perfect solutions for popular kitchen helpers
In our fast-paced world, we appreciate small kitchen helpers like bouillon cubes, instant coffee, or pudding powder. Powders and granulates mix effortlessly with cold or warm liquids. The key property for consumers: The powders and granulates must dissolve instantly and should not clump – a simple stir with a spoon is all that's needed. And let's be honest, who doesn't appreciate a little help in the kitchen? Zeppelin Systems supports with sophisticated technologies, ensuring that powders and granulates are perfectly shaped for ease of use.

Mastering the challenges of producing instant products
The production of instant products, such as coffee, soups, sauces, and snacks, requires precise control over factors like ingredient blending, dissolution properties, and uniformity to ensure the end product meets consumer expectations. Zeppelin Systems offers tailored solutions to optimize production speed, ingredient integration, and quality consistency while addressing the complexities of powder handling, hydration, and packaging.
Protection through reliable packaging
Instant products require packaging that protects them from moisture, air, and light to ensure long-lasting freshness. This is essential for preserving product quality.
Adaptation to evolving consumer preferences
The increasing demand for healthier and more sustainable products requires rapid adjustments in formulations and production technologies. Efficient disposal strategies also play an essential role in this context.
Process optimization for competitive advantage
To meet market demands, production processes must be optimized, and investments in research and development need to be increased. Only then can companies withstand competitive pressures.
