Getting Bulk Materials Moving

Zeppelin Systems: Efficient Discharge Floors for Smooth Bulk Material Handling

The discharge floors from Zeppelin Systems ensure the gentle activation of poorly flowing bulk materials, preventing blockages in silos and containers. The result is complete discharge. Various systems are available, which can also be retrofitted. To find the optimal discharge aid for your production, we support you with process engineering designs and tests. Thanks to our in-house manufacturing, we can flexibly respond to your application.

Advantages for the Industry

Our discharge and vibrating floors gently activate the bulk material, ensuring that silos and containers are safely and completely emptied, while also allowing subsequent processes to run smoothly. Therefore, these components are suitable for use across all industries.

Optimal Discharge of Your Bulk Materials

Discharge Floor BTS

The BTS discharge floor with antistatic cloth is suitable for almost all poorly flowing, cohesive bulk materials in the underpressure and overpressure range from -0.005 bar (g) to 0.1 bar (g), ensuring complete discharge from silos. It is typically used for silos and containers, as well as weighing and storage containers in both outdoor and indoor environments. In this system, the bulk material in the discharge area is activated through fluidization and simultaneous mechanical movement. Various cloth materials are available for this purpose, and retrofitting is possible. The BTS discharge floor is characterized by the following features:

Discharge Floor FB

The FB discharge floor is a pneumatic fluidization system for discharging poorly flowing yet easily fluidizable bulk materials. The fluidized bed is mounted with a drilled counter flange on cylindrical external or internal storage silos, as well as weighing and storage containers. The product discharge is directly connected to subsequent devices such as rotary airlocks, conveyors, chutes, shut-off valves, or other discharge equipment, creating a tight, closed system. Additionally, the fluidized bed offers further applications such as mixing, drying, tempering, and recrystallization. Consult with our experts to receive the best process engineering design for your application. The key features of the FB discharge floor are as follows:

Discharge Floor VB

The VB discharge floor is used to activate the flow of nearly all poorly flowing, non-fluidizable bulk materials for optimal discharge from silos and containers. It is primarily used in outdoor and indoor storage silos, as well as weighing and storage containers. A rotary airlock can be added for dosing the bulk material. The product discharge is connected to the subsequent equipment via a hygienic, non-return C-sleeve and connection stub. This design decouples the vibrating floor both upwards and downwards, creating a tight, closed, free-swinging system. The vibrating floor ensures reliable, bulk-material-friendly, residue-free, and uniform discharge (mass flow) of the bulk material. Additionally, it has the following features:

Application Areas

Industries

The discharge and dosing modules can be used in many other industries. Feel free to contact us to discuss whether our KOKEISL modules are suitable for your application. We Create Solutions!

Food

Zeppelin systems offer precise dosing solutions for sensitive ingredients such as cornflakes, chocolate chips, or fruit pieces, as well as for spice blends, baby, and toddler food. The systems are suitable for applications with small components (MicDos), medium and large components, as well as the ReciPure® and FlexiDos container systems.
