Selection criteria

1. Product characteristics and flow behavior
In order to guarantee a suitable design of the blender for mass flow and, thus, to achieve optimum blending results, the product properties are compulsory. The determination of the relevant product properties is carried out in the Zeppelin Technology Center.

2. Blending time - desired homogeneity ratio
This aspect is a decisive factor in obtaining rapid optimum blending results and consequently cost-efficient processes. The required data too can be determined during tests in our Technology Center or taken from our central database.

3. Cleaning
Quick and easy cleaning of the blender is important in case of frequent change of products or colors. Ensuring that no residues remain in the blender is of utmost importance in order to avoid complete batches from being contaminated and no longer fulfill quality requirements.

4. Operating mode
Continuous or discontinuous operation - this decision depends on your production process. Zeppelin provides you with the most economic solution - whether for continuous filling of a new product into the blender with simultaneous discharge or for batch-wise filling and complete discharge.

5. Height to diameter ratio
Optimum blending results can only be obtained if the blender is designed in accordance with the appropriate height to diameter ratio. Benefit from the experience gained by Zeppelin's specialists: with such a technological lead, you may have to abstain from conventional blenders.
