Zeppelin Systems GmbH

Silo production has a long tradition at Zeppelin. The company even welded aluminium containers back in the days of airship construction at the beginning of the 20th century.
This special know-how developed into the driving force behind the realignment of the Zeppelin operations after the Second World War. The first standard silo made from aluminium was developed back in 1950. Other innovations, such as the development of the telescopic silo in the 1970s or the technology for the simple installation of silos, even above 500 m³, ensured steady growth of silo technology at Zeppelin.

Our product range is geared towards the global demand for storage silosalong our customers’ supply chain. We ensure the economical, reliable and gentle storage of high-quality bulk materials with our stainless steel or aluminium storage silos.
Due to fluctuations in the process or the raw materials, it is not always easy to attain consistently high product quality in producing or recycling plastics. Zeppelin’s blending silos make it possible to balance out these fluctuations and achieve considerably better results. Our vast product range covers many bulk materials and the corresponding mixing efficiency requirements, even in the standard version.

A variety of different mixing tasks need to be solved in the manufacture of products. Zeppelin has various types of mixers available for this.
Henschel Mixers® have set standards for more than 60 years and are therefore one of the world’s most well-known machines for the plastics industry. In addition to plastics processing, our mixers are also used in the chemical, food, lacquer, paint, pigment and cosmetics industries.
Efficient production lines with high availability and reproducible product quality can only be achieved with optimum systems technology and a process that is designed for the specific requirements of the respective product. Our systems and mixers guarantee this in continuous and batch-based system solutions.

16,000 pretzels per hour, 2 million rolls per day, 3.2 tons of cookie dough per hour… Codos® is designed for big jobs. The continuous mixing and kneading system provides a constant quality of dough around the clock so that you can always achieve the same results at all times. Regardless of whether it’s mono-lines or flexible lines for different products – the Codos®System from Zeppelin can be used for everything.

The advantages over batch kneaders are impressive

• Optimum product quality at all times
• Can immediately react to raw material quality fluctuations
• Constant dough temperature
• Rapid recipe change
• Gentle product handling
• Up to 30% energy savings
• Increase in line efficiency
• Fully-automated operation
• Simple to operate

Zeppelin relies on its own first-class technology for rubber and tire plants. More than 500 systems that have been constructed around the world as well as a list of references with all the major companies from the industry also speak for themselves within this sector.
The operating success of companies in the rubber and tire industry depends on the exact mixing of raw materials and the reliable and high-precision supply and dosing. A decisive factor is the mixing – a task that requires special technologies, know-how and most importantly experience.
Zeppelin supplies complete plants from a single source from the receipt of raw materials and the storage and conveying technology, the weighing and dosing of carbon black, silica, oils as well as other additives and small components through to turn-key mixing rooms.
