Multi-channel blending silo for free-flowing bulk materials
Achieve precise homogenization and mixing of free-flowing bulk materials with a seamless integration into existing processing lines, ensuring consistent product quality and efficient operation.
Achieves Precise Blending and Homogenization
The Multi-Channel Blending Silo ZSD from Zeppelin Systems offers advanced integration into your production line, ensuring precise homogenization of free-flowing bulk materials like polyethylene pellets and cocoa powder blends. Using vertical blending pipes, it collects materials from 18 different heights, directing them to a central blending chamber for consistent mixing. Ideally suited for the plastics, rubber, and food industries, the silo supports both continuous and batch operations, accommodating variable fill levels down to 25%.
With a design focused on optimizing mass flow, it guarantees reproducible results for mixing and degassing applications. The blending pipes are welded directly to the silo shell, eliminating the need for additional fixings and allowing for residue-free emptying, which simplifies cleaning and maintenance processes. Tailored for automated systems, the Multi-Channel Blending Silo ZSD ensures seamless operation with your existing process controls, offering efficiency and reliability in the handling of solid and granule product types.
