Choosing the Right Blending Silo

The Zeppelin line of blending silos contains 5 different product types. Within these 5 basic models, we can customize the blender exactly to your specifications (based on product type, operating procedure, etc.).

No matter what your needs are, our job is to help you choose the perfect blending silo for your project.

5 Factors to Consider when Selecting a Blender

  1. Speed of cleaning—If you’re constantly processing different types of products, you need a blending silo that can be cleaned quickly and easily. This helps avoid cross-contamination. Of course, if you only process one type of product, quick cleaning isn’t as important to your operating process.
     
  2. Product type—The most important factor we must consider when selecting a blender is the type of product being processed or manufactured. This helps us find the perfect blender to achieve consistent, high quality blending. Our experts at the Zeppelin Technology Center will analyze the properties of your product to help determine which blending silo is best suited to your needs.
     
  3. Non-stop or discontinuous operation—Does your operation demand non-stop operation or discontinuous operation? Whether you need continuous filling of your product into the silo or you fill it in batches, we have a blender that can get the job done economically.
     
  4. Blending time—Identifying the right blending time to achieve optimal homogeneity ratio is essential for ensuring product quality and cost-efficient blender performance. Our team of experts in the Zeppelin Technology Center will run tests to find the right blending time and blender for your process.
     
  5. Height to diameter ratio—The right height to diameter ratio is essential to achieving perfect blending on a consistent basis. Let us help you find the perfect blender for your manufacturing process.
