Raw material intake 

Right from raw material delivery, we ensure maximum safety by integrating solutions such as feed hoppers, jet vent filters, and fans. This guarantees a dust-free, gentle, and contamination-free transfer of raw materials into the process—regardless of packaging type or product.

Storage

We develop customized solutions that take into account cooling, insulation, explosion protection, hygienic design, and optimized cleaning options—ensuring cost-effective and gentle storage of all raw materials.

Discharge

We offer customized discharge solutions such as big bag stations, sack tipping units, or fluidized beds with air loosening to ensure a consistent material flow and precise dosing. Our process experts work closely with you to identify the optimal solution tailored to your specific requirements.

Conveying

Benefit from our customized conveying systems designed specifically for sensitive raw materials. With technologies such as Lean-Tec, Dense-Tec, and Twin-Tec, products are transported gently and efficiently, while energy costs are optimized. The Dense-Tec process, in particular, offers excellent protection for fragile and break-sensitive materials.

Sieving

With our screening solutions such as rotary sieve machines and magnetic separators, we ensure the reliable removal of foreign particles from incoming materials. Whether used as pre-sieves, post-sieves, or inline screening units, our systems provide ideal starting conditions for smooth processes and consistently high product quality.

Weighing & Dosing

Our customized solutions for dosing and weighing range from manual systems to fully automated high-performance installations such as MicDos, MinDos, and MacDos. With advanced technologies like dosing and conveying screws or KOKEISL technology, even sensitive products are handled gently and precisely.

Mixing

The mixing process for spice blends begins with the careful selection and preparation of ingredients such as pepper, mustard seeds, or coriander. These are evenly combined in mixing containers to ensure optimal flavor distribution. Precise dosing ensures the desired taste and the correct intensity.

Homogenizing

We offer versatile solutions for a wide range of raw materials such as pre-doughs, glazes, and bulk materials. The ShearDos mixer ensures uniform suspensions through intensive shearing, while the Codos mixer provides continuous mixing and a temperature-controlled trough design, creating optimal processing conditions for your products.

Zeppelin Technical Center

Testing is good; testing at a 1:1 scale under real-world conditions is even better. To support this, we have established optimal facilities at our Friedrichshafen technical center: based on your recipe and desired throughput, we identify the plant technology tailored to your needs—and test the complete system for you in live operation.

Automation

Above all, your plant must do one thing: run and deliver. That’s why we provide you with reliable, professional service. Rely on our global service network for expert consultation and extremely fast spare-parts supply to minimize downtime. When needed, we’re also at your side digitally—from virtual troubleshooting to online-supported commissioning.

Service

In the 21st century, optimization often means automation. We ensure that your automation project is a complete success in terms of both efficiency and cost-effectiveness. To achieve this, we rely on cutting-edge control systems whose open architectures prepare you for the challenges of tomorrow—and beyond.
