We address varying packaging types and material characteristics at raw-material intake with a flexible, reliable raw-material management system. We ensure your bulk solids are stored economically, safely, and gently. Our silos—whether aluminum or stainless steel—prevent bridging and rat-holing, asymmetric flow zones, segregation, condensation, and air entrapment. We also comply with country-specific regulations, such as wind and seismic loads and explosion protection. Is your production process new? We’ll determine all critical parameters in advance through shear tests at our in-house technical center.

Process or feedstock fluctuations can make it challenging to maintain consistently high product quality in plastics manufacturing or recycling. Our mixing silos compensate for these variations—so your compounding results are always on target!

Whether PE, PP, glass-fiber-reinforced granulate, or especially soft plastics such as LDPE with EVA – for every conveying challenge, there is a dedicated product-cleaning system: the perfect solution. Our modular filter systems also deliver optimal performance, featuring either antistatic filter cartridges or bags, or fully automatic pneumatic cleaning. This prevents material losses. By employing drum screens in downstream or subsequent process steps, we eliminate issues caused by fibers (‘angel hair’) and fiber nests in plastic granulates.

Our sifters purify plastic granulates by separating out dust particles, fibers, and ‘angel hair,’ ensuring the highest possible granulate quality before packaging or loading.

Zeppelin Systems sets the standard with mixing systems in markets such as PVC, plastic compounds, paints, coatings and pigments, toner, mineral enhancement, and chemicals. To achieve this, we develop entirely new processes for handling and producing sensitive materials—both independently and in close collaboration with our customers. Why? Because truly efficient production lines—characterized by high availability and consistently reproducible product quality—are only possible with optimal system technology and processes precisely tailored to each product’s specific requirements. Our mixers deliver on this promise in both continuous-flow and batch-processing system configurations. Pre-mixing for dryblend, masterbatch, or additives on our equipment achieves the highest product quality at maximum throughput.

The provision of diverse raw materials requires first-class recipe management. Over 200 specialists in instrumentation, control, and automation configure the hardware, develop the software, and commission the plants on-site. The open, modular system architecture guarantees flexible adaptation for future requirements. Integrated within this are storage and recipe management, batch logging and material-consumption data, production planning, and batch traceability. From the field level through the control software to process and planning management with an MES, we connect our systems to the overarching ERP systems such as SAP or AVEVA.
