Product catalog summary

Introduction
Zeppelin Systems is a leading manufacturer specializing in high-quality bulk material and liquid handling plants. With over 60 years of experience, they offer comprehensive plant manufacturing services, including basic engineering, component production, assembly, and customer service. Their global network and financial strength make them a reliable partner for various industries.

Business Fields
Zeppelin operates in several sectors, including polymer plants, plastics processing, food technology, mixing technology, silo and filter technology, and component manufacturing. They also provide extensive customer and quality services.

Anti-Honking Systems
Zeppelin has developed specialized anti-honking systems for silos, addressing issues related to noise and vibrations during bulk material discharge. These systems are crucial for silos near residential or industrial areas with strict noise regulations.

Intelligent Silo Technology
For new silos, Zeppelin uses checkered or structured plates to create a shear zone near the silo wall, altering the flow characteristics and preventing honking. Retrofitting existing silos with these plates is also possible, making the solution versatile for both powders and pellets.

Discharge Pipes
Discharge pipes offer another retrofitting option, suitable for free-flowing bulk materials. However, they are expensive and not ideal for fine-grained powders. This method reduces pressure on the bulk material by extracting it from the upper section of the silo, but it requires sufficient clearance beneath the silo.

Noise Levels and Recommendations
The document includes a table indicating the risk of noise production for various bulk materials, such as PET, PA, PBT, PP, PE, PVC, and TiO2. The risk depends on factors like silo capacity, material, surface, and bulk material properties.

Conclusion
Zeppelin Systems provides innovative and reliable solutions for bulk material handling challenges, ensuring compliance with environmental and noise protection regulations. Their expertise in silo technology and anti-honking systems helps prevent operational disruptions and maintain plant efficiency.

Also suitable for retrofitting: Honking silos can even subsequently be equipped with goffered plate. Looking into the interior of a silo: By installing checkered plates, a shear zone near the silo wall is created – and honking is avoided. INTELLIGENT SILO TECHNOLOGY Proven solutions by the silo specialist For anti-honking systems, a general distinction must be made between silos for storing powders or pellets as well as between new silos and retrofitted ones. As silo specialist, Zeppelin provides economic and process-reliable solutions for all requirements. Thanks to the structured surface of...

Honking silos can become a problem Nothing is impossible! Discharge pipes – suitable for retrofit installation The phenomenon of honking silos has driven quite a few plant operators to despair. Silo plants located close to residential areas or in an industrial area with strict environmental and noise protection regulations and which are not equipped with an anti-honking system might be shut down by the authorities. Another possibility for refurbishing a silo is the installation of discharge pipes. This alternative, however, is very expensive and only appropriate for free-flowing bulk material....
