YOU DON’T HAVE TO TAKE MAJOR DECISIONS ALONE Building a new plant or expanding an existing one is an extremely complex project. Even prior to the decision to invest, all eventualities must be considered. Planning processes should be designed in such a way that time and costs are used as efficiently as possible. We can support you in this and provide optimal project management with Zeppelin Value Engineering. Right from the initiation phase, we will be by your side with our Front-End-Engineering & Design (FEED), providing you with all the relevant data you need to make the best decisions. Our...

PROCESS COMPETENCE IS AT THE HEART OF THE PLANT CONSTRUCTION A chef who only uses three seasonings will find it difficult to produce lots of different top quality dishes. A plant builder who can only fall back on standard process technology will find it difficult to respond well to individual customer requirements. We have a wide range of innovative process and process technologies at our disposal, which we adapt and apply to our customers’ needs. Our activity in different sectors is an advantage here. We have in-depth knowledge of the chemical industry, the food and liquids sectors, we supply...

Moving various substances and raw materials as gently as possible in a predetermined, exactly timed and dosed sequence through the manufacturing process is, broadly speaking, our main task when designing our engineering solutions. To do so, we are guided by your “recipes” and requirements, right from the start. We respond to different types of containers and materials in the delivery of raw materials with flexible and reliable raw material management. OUR RECIPES ALWAYS TURN OUT RIGHT All kinds of high quality bulk material are always transported smoothly and seamlessly using innovative conveying...

Many different, difficult to process raw materials place high demands on extruders...

STABILITY ON EVERY SITE The stability of the complete plant plays a crucial role in the treatment of PVC powder. When batch quantities are processed, the dosing systems must meet the highest requirements as to precision and reliability in order to guarantee consistently long-term high product quality. The supply of a large variety of raw material requires the first-rate administration of recipes, using a modern programmable controlling system. For frequent changes of recipes, rapid cleaning must also be ensured. Because raw materials and additives’ properties complicate the handling of bulk material,...

CREATE TENSION CALMLY Handling materials for the production of cable sheathings using VPE pellets is one of the most demanding tasks in bulk material technology. The requirements for product purity are particularly high. Experience, know-how and perfectly adjusted complete systems determine the quality of the final product. When insulating medium and high voltage cables, even the smallest impurities can cause significant damage. Therefore, handling raw materials in clean room conditions is the precondi- tion for a reliable process. Peroxide clusters and impurities cannot be tolerated. Therefore,...

SETTING STANDARDS IN MIXING AND COMPOUNDING For over 50 years, Henschel Mixing Technology has been setting standards on the market with its mixing and compounding systems. When it comes to PVC, plastic compounds or mineral processing, paints and pigments, toners or chemistry, our competences are second to none. We know what it takes to master the processes and the handling of sensitive products, which is why our solutions are so popular. In order to achieve considerable improvements to our customers’ products, it is not enough to only adjust technical details to the production parameters. Together...
