Vibratory bottom discharge system for bulk materials
Ensure consistent flow of challenging bulk materials with a vibratory bottom discharge system, optimizing energy efficiency and maintaining reliable discharge from storage silos and vessels.

Activates and Discharges Bulk Materials
The VB Vibratory Discharge Bottom from Zeppelin Systems is engineered to optimize material flow for industries managing challenging bulk materials. This equipment excels in activating the discharge of non-fluidizable substances from silos and vessels through its robust vibration mechanism. It’s ideal for applications in the plastics, rubber, tire, food, and chemical industries, handling end-products like polypropylene and rubber pellets, snack food powders, and chemical powder compounds. The device integrates seamlessly into continuous processing operations and complements dosing units such as downstream rotary feeders.
Constructed from 1.4307 stainless steel, it offers temperature resistance from -10°C to 80°C and boasts a low-maintenance design. The solid structure, incorporating a welded relief cone and vertical buffering suspension rings, ensures consistent load absorption and vibration. Its compliance with ATEX standards for explosion protection enhances operational safety. The VB Discharge Bottom connects to other system components via a sleeve and connecting nozzles, creating a closed, freely vibrating system that guarantees reliable material handling. Customization options like the vibratory hopper without a relief cone and various connection kits provide flexibility for specific operational needs.
