Blending silo for free-flowing and poorly flowing bulk materials
Achieve precise blending and mixing of diverse bulk materials while enhancing operational efficiency and simplifying retrofits in your existing silos.
Blends and Mixes Bulk Materials Efficiently
The Multi-Flow Blending Silo from Zeppelin Systems is engineered to enhance mixing and blending capabilities within the rubber, food, and plastics industries. This innovative solution features a unique design that ensures varying flow speeds and dwell times, optimizing the mixing effect. Suitable for both continuous and non-continuous operations, the Multi-Flow Blending Silo is ideal for producing rubber compounds, snack mixes, plastic pellets, and high-performance polymers. With a slenderness ratio of less than 2.5, it ensures efficient mixing with reduced height, making it perfect for retrofitting into existing silos. Its construction allows for easy cleaning due to the absence of additional internal structures, ensuring a cost-effective and residue-free operation. The silo can be integrated seamlessly into existing production lines and is compatible with degassing processes. Designed with steel or customizable material options for enhanced corrosion resistance, it offers flexibility and reliable performance with engineering support from Zeppelin Systems.
