Process Mixer MB
For brilliant powder coatings
Bonding at its best
The production of metallic powder coatings with bonding requires the highest precision. Zeppelin Systems' proven technology and process engineering is recommended for consistently high, stable quality. Precisely defined process control ensures safety, virtually loss-free production, and excellent processing of the mixture.
The process mixer MB is a modular heating mixer, ideal for metallic and effect powder coatings. It offers multi-zone temperature control (drive shaft, mixing tool, double jacket, bottom bowl) for precise temperature control. Cooled tools, nitrogen inerting, and residual oxygen measurement are available as options.
Key advantages at a glance:
- No segregation due to complete bonding
- Cooled mixing tool and mixing container
- Fully automatic Tg (glass transition temperature) detection

Product details
The process mixer MB from Zeppelin Systems combines innovative process technology with the highest safety and automation standards. Developed for the demanding production of metallic and effect powder coatings, it impresses with reliable bonding results, maximum operational reliability, easy cleaning, and modern, intuitive controls.
Highest and consistent product quality
Complete bonding of the effect pigments to the powder coating for consistently high quality. Flexible in use and suitable for a wide variety of aluminum pigments—from fine to coarse, including silver dollar and cornflake—as well as for mica and other effect pigments.
Safe operation
Aluminum pigments are particularly sensitive to ignition and require special protective measures. The process mixer MB offers maximum safety with nitrogen inerting and permanent oxygen monitoring in the mixing chamber. The system is certified according to ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU and is available in various device categories depending on the application – up to the highest protection class 1D in the mixing chamber.
Quick and easy cleaning
The pneumatic hinged lid and the discharge with cleaning package allow convenient access to the mixing chamber. For larger mixing containers, the optional Transbonder package provides even better accessibility and makes cleaning and maintenance much easier.
Automation
The control system is based on the Siemens TIA Portal and offers an intuitive user interface. With PVS process visualization, process values can be displayed graphically and recipes can be managed efficiently. Functions such as batch tracking, machine operation, and remote maintenance ensure transparent and smooth operation.
