With Zeppelin, you gain maximum control over fermentation, pre-mixing, and kneading processes
Moistening and mixing with the DymoMix
The DymoMix operates at extremely high speed and ensures dust-free processing while producing doughs with a consistently homogeneous texture. Dry ingredients such as flour are fully wetted with liquids within seconds, aerated, and thoroughly mixed. This process results in high-quality doughs that can be used directly or seamlessly transferred to downstream production steps such as batch kneading or the continuously operating Conti-Kneter.
Mixing and kneading system with Codos
Whether it’s your favorite cookie, a pretzel, or a chia roll – consumers expect their product to always taste the same. The best foundation for this is the continuous mixing and kneading system Codos. It delivers consistent dough quality around the clock, even in high volumes: 20,000 pretzels per hour, 2 million rolls per day, or 3 tons of cookie dough per hour are no problem. The result is always uniform and optimal, with a stable dough temperature maintained throughout the process.
Unlike traditional batch kneaders, the Codos system can save up to 30% energy. It includes the entire dry and liquid ingredient dosing, as well as the mixer and kneader. Thanks to its modular design—featuring the Codos Tower, DymoMix™, and Codos NT kneader—the solution from Zeppelin Systems can be flexibly integrated to meet your specific production needs.
