With Zeppelin Systems

Engineering and system integration at its finest!

We refine your raw materials to ensure they achieve the best possible properties for your market success!

When it comes to the seamless integration of systems and components into the overall process in plastics manufacturing, Zeppelin Systems is unrivaled. We not only employ innovative methods and technologies but also draw on decades of plant-engineering experience and over 10,000 successfully installed reference plants worldwide. By producing our own silos, mixers, and key components, we enable an engineering approach free of interface issues. From flexible and reliable raw-material management, through diverse processing steps, to silo storage and final packaging, we deliver the optimal plant for your individual requirements.


Challenge in Compounding


Process machines such as extruders set the pace. All upstream and downstream units must operate faster to ensure the extruder can run continuously. That’s why every component must mesh perfectly. Need examples? Zeppelin Systems uses best-in-class mixing technology for additive pre-blends and premixes, and ensures complete emptying of silos, scales, and vessels. Even poorly flowing bulk materials are dosed with precision, and during conveying of raw materials and finished products, we ensure gentle handling and minimal abrasion.

Areas of application

Compounds and masterbatches based on

Polyolefins (PE and PP)
PVC-U, PVC-P, C-PVC, E-PVC
PA, PBT, ABS, SAN, etc.
TPE, TPU, TPV, etc.
PS, EPS, XPS, etc.
Oil-free polymers (e.g. PLA, starch) for bio-compounds
