Small Grain – Big Potential

Get the Best Out of Barley

With both cost-effective and robust malting solutions from Zeppelin Systems.


Some prefer it dark and strong, others golden and smooth, while others love to toast with a new creation each time. When it comes to brewery products, spirits, and more, taste is truly a matter of debate. Unlike quality, however, where there’s no room for compromise. The foundations for this are laid not during the actual production process, but much earlier. Specifically, during the malting process. At Zeppelin Systems, we guide you through all the key steps on the challenging journey from the whole grain to the finished malt – ensuring product quality that truly deserves the label "exceptional."

You can rely on this process expertise

Our extensive expertise in malt production

And that, quite literally:

Because our extensive expertise in malt production not only guarantees maximum product quality, but with us as your partner, you’ll also enhance the profitability and efficiency of your entire process. For results that impress customers – and delight your controlling team.

Receive Cleanly

Receive Cleanly

Contaminations, dust, and the like have no place here: Thanks to our various solutions for raw material intake, barley enters your conveying systems cleanly and efficiently. The first step towards the best product quality is complete!

Carefully Clean & Sort

Carefully Clean & Sort

The good into the silo – the bad into the sieve: Benefit from the numerous high-performance cleaning and sorting solutions in our portfolio. These effectively remove stones or other contaminants from the delivered barley.

Store Safely & Transparently

Store Safely & Transparently

The credo of "no compromises" also applies to us in the area of silo technology. Upon request, we equip your silos not only with special heat protection devices that protect the valuable stored goods from harmful temperature influences, but you can also take advantage of a wide range of added-value features – from integrated weighing cells to precise dosing valves, all the way to solutions for automatic level monitoring.

Optimize Conveying

Optimize Conveying

For us, this means: tailor-made conveying. That’s why at Zeppelin Systems, you can choose the conveying method that best suits your needs on-site. Whether dry or wet, horizontal or vertical, with self-cleaning chain conveyors or bucket elevators, including dust filters… Your process, your decision!

Precisely Weigh

Precisely Weigh

Precise weighing is good – keeping all parameters in view at all times is even better. Both are made possible by the automatic flow scales from Zeppelin Systems. In addition, a variety of other weighing systems are available to help you make your malt production even more cost-effective.

Intelligently Soften

Intelligently Soften

This equation adds up: Thanks to our high-performance softening systems, you can increase your plant's output without compromising on quality. At the same time, the technologies used reduce your water consumption and energy usage, which measurably improves overall plant efficiency.

Efficiently Germinate

Efficiently Germinate

The germination process is a crucial step in every malting plant – and we make it more reliable and cost-effective for you. To achieve this, we use state-of-the-art automation technology, which ensures the soaked barley is constantly and evenly turned. This reduces manual labor to a minimum.

Targeted Drying & Maturing

Targeted Drying & Maturing

Opportunities are everywhere – you just have to unlock them. In the drying/maturing process, our solutions for heat recovery and automation help you achieve this. When it comes to maturing, you can rely on powerful systems from Zeppelin Systems – they allow you to create differentiated aroma and color profiles, enabling you to deliberately influence the character of the final product.

Effectively Sterilize

Effectively Sterilize

The perfect finishing touch to a well-established malting process: during rootlet removal, the unusable green and white roots are separated from the rest of the malt. Here too, Zeppelin Systems offers a range of solutions that provide you with clear competitive advantages.
