RUBBER & TIRES: IT´S ALL IN THE MIX

Process efficiency starts with the optimal storage of raw materials. And “optimal” has two meanings at Zeppelin Systems. On the one hand, we offer silos that are convincing for their securely tight seals and also extremely durable due to their high-quality aluminum construction. Thanks to the modular design and the well thought-out frame concept, they can be both shipped and installed in an extremely budget-friendly manner. The second aspect concerns storage volume. Thanks to our Smart Storage Solution, which is unique on the market, you can achieve significantly higher storage volumes - and thus prevent possible material bottlenecks, for example as a result of disrupted supply chains. The material discharge from our silos is again carried out as required via a rotary feeder.

Faster is not always better - as is the case with silica and carbon black: For example, carbon black beads are destroyed if the conveying speed is too high, which inevitably leads to a higher fines content, resulting in high time losses in the mixing process. We have therefore deliberately designed our conveying systems in such a way that - thanks to the patented overflow system, for example - they ensure gentle guidance of the raw materials all round. But our plant professionals not only know the specific properties of these classic materials down to the last detail; you can also rely fully on our expertise when it comes to conveying recycled materials or renewable raw materials.  

For liquid additives, we have created a new gold standard with the innovative Liquid Dosing System (LDS). This technology makes an important contribution to the production of high-quality tires, such as those used in electric cars. Finally, particularly low rolling resistance can be achieved by incorporating high-viscosity, functional additives into the compound. Another benefit for you: The material certification that we carry out as part of the LDS gives you the conveyability of your product in black and white.

”Close enough” is not close enough: Before the individual product components are combined, 100 percent accurate weighing and dosing are essential. We offer the ideal conditions: Carbon black, silicate and other solids are fed to the test carriages via twin screws; when the required weight is reached, the system switches off automatically. 

They remove whatever doesn't belong: Thanks to our diverse filter concepts, contamination can not only be effectively minimized; the intelligent recirculation technologies - whether recirculation filtration or shock deaeration - also ensure a plus in efficiency as well as a minus in waste and costs. They enable the material collected in the filter to be fed back into the mixing process in precisely metered quantities as required.
