Fluidizing bed blending silo for powder mixing

Optimize your batch mixing process with a fluidizing bed blending silo, designed to enhance homogenization and degassing of fluidizable bulk materials with exceptional energy efficiency.

Homogenizes and Degasses Fluidizable Powder Materials

The Fluidizing Bed Blending Silo ZSD from Zeppelin Systems is specifically designed for the efficient mixing and homogenization of fluidizable bulk materials, ranging from flour to elastomer composites. Utilizing a fluidizing gas flow, usually air, it allows for gentle mixing through random relative movements of particles, making it ideal for powders prone to breakage. Its design optimizes aeration across different inflow zones to enhance mixing efficiency and reduce processing times, effectively handling large batch operations with minimal energy use. The system is suitable for various industries, including rubber and tire, food, and plastics, capable of processing substantial quantities of materials under batch operations. Integrated automation support allows seamless integration into existing control systems, with the opportunity for further customization tailored to specific operational needs. The ZSD model is built with durable materials to ensure reliability and longevity, adhering to industry standards and offering easy maintenance for continuous operational readiness.
