Multi-channel blending silo for free-flowing bulk materials
In industries where blending free-flowing bulk materials like pellets is essential, achieving consistent homogenization can be a challenge. Uneven particle distribution often leads to product quality inconsistencies, making a reliable blending process crucial.
Provide consistent and homogeneous blending
The Multi-Channel Blending Silo from Zeppelin Systems is designed for optimal blending of free-flowing bulk materials such as pellets. The system operates by simultaneously collecting material from 18 different heights via vertical blending pipes within the silo and directing it to a central blending chamber. Inside this chamber, the partial flows from the blending pipes mix with the central mass flow, ensuring a uniform blend. This is facilitated by the installation of six blending pipes, each with three chambers, which allows the product output at the blender discharge to be a mixture from the entire silo. The design ensures batch homogenization and can operate efficiently at varying fill levels, down to approximately 25%. The blending pipes, welded to the silo shell, enable residue-free emptying and are suitable for continuous operation with a single cycle often being sufficient. Additionally, this system integrates easily into existing processes and can be used in combination with degassing for optimal performance.
