Bulk Solids Component Brochure - Zeppelin Systems USA, Inc.

Zeppelin has been the leader in theinternational market of silo constructionfor decades. Thanks to our own modernmanufacturing and the internationalexperience of our assembly staff andservice engineers we guarantee qualityof the highest level.Competence in bulk solids handling –you can rely on ZeppelinThe industrial Zeppelin Group and its various divisions are focusedon the requirements of their customer groups. All activities have,however, one thing in common: the economic handling of premiumbulk solids.Silo plants for the plastic, food, and chemical industries integratedin one logistics concept: from consultation and design to manufacture,assembly and after-sales service.Turn-key plants for the plastics processing and chemical industryas well as for rubber producers and tiremakers.Conveying components for any application: for powders or pellets,for high or low pressures, for products with good or poor flowability,for standard or special applications.Silogistic: turn-key plants for plastics producers, engineering companiesand forwarders. Zeppelin is the world-wide leader in the planningand construction of logistic centers and manufacturing plants.Pulling all the strings: the centraloffice for the industry sector islocated in Friedrichshafen, Germany.Here, in the world‘s largest TechnologyCenter for pellets and powders,tests are carried out on an industrialscale. The test results are availableto all subsidiaries, therefore allowingour clients to always be on thesafe side – no matter where theirplant is located.3

Full range of productsTrouble-free work flowfor optimized processesThe reliability of a complete systemdepends on the quality of its individualcomponents. Therefore, Zeppelin startedlong ago with the development, designand production of it‘s own components.Finally, you as our customer expecthighest functionality and reliableZeppelin quality.A particularly clever feature ofZeppelin’s new program of divertervalves: the modular system allowsindividual adjustment of the divertervalve to your special requirements.4

You obtain reliable products as well ascomponents which are designed to fitperfectly into the overall system.Your advantage: When it comes to definingthe right product and design you can relyon the sound advice given by the internationallyleading system supplier. And alsoon the speed and flexibility of a strongindustrial group of companies.Pellets or powder, plastic material,rubber, carbon black or food stuff,high or low conveying capacities,high pressure or medium pressurerotary feeders, Zeppelin offers anappropriate, technically matureand economical solution.5

Efficient – innovative – economicalThe Zeppelin program for rotary feedersAdvantages, you can count onZeppelin rotary feeders are designed toensure both: quick and easy mounting aswell as your success in daily operation dueto minimum downtimes. Thanks to the intelligentfeeder design you can benefit fromthe highest efficiency so that often smallersizes can be foreseen for achieving the samethroughput. Product damage e. g. choppingand squeezing effects on granular productscan be reduced to negligible levels. A particularlyclever feature is the modular design:you will receive a product matching exactlywith your application, assuring fast supplywith spare parts and an unproblematic adjustmentto changed operating conditions.Easy and rapid installationbecause of integrated cast flanges –special screws or stud bolts areno longer necessary.Modular systems – quick adaptionto changed operating conditions –rapid delivery of spare parts –fair prices.Little maintenance workrequired because of automaticchain adjusters for example.All parts are made from highqualitymaterials such as boltsin special steel.Standard leakage air channelintegrated into the housing,allowing maximum filling leveland utmost profitability.Deflector baffles integrated intothe housing do not obstructproduct feeding.Maximum product purity thanks tothe steep geometric design of thecasing – avoiding product deposits.High pressure rotary feedertype HDS/AGSYMedium pressure rotaryfeeder type MDS/APNRotary feeders in accordance withZeppelin standard (company standard).Reliably metered dischargeof pellets and powdersin pneumatic conveyingsystems.Reliably metered dischargeof pellets and powdersin pneumatic conveyingsystems.Operationally reliable solution for thegravimetric discharge as well as forconveying.DesignsType Pressure difference Dimensions* Capacities* rotor diameter in mmHDS/AGSY < 3.5 bar 200 / 250 / 320 / 400 / 500 / 630 7.5 up to 350 m 3 /hMDS/APN < 1.5 bar 200 / 250 / 320 / 400 / 500 / 630 7.5 up to 340 m 3 /hZeppelin standard < 1.0 bar 160 / 200 / 250 / 320 / 400 / 500 0.5 up to 160 m 3 /hFor detailed information pleaserefer to our product data sheets.6

The advantages of the Zeppelin programfor diverter valves at a glanceMaximum profitability in everyday useThe full range of Zeppelin diverter valvesoffers appropriate solutions for any application.The principle of the new generationof diverter valves is especially intelligent:by retrofitting the valves can be modifiedfrom the most simple standard applicationto complicated special diverter valves.Thus, you will always receive a componentwhich is perfectly geared to your requirements– assuring utmost process reliabilityand economic operation every day.No product destruction ordeposits due to the patentedgeometric design of inlet and outlet,and of the conveying channel inthe plug respectively.Pressure tightness of conveyingdirection resulting in practicallyno leakage and no productcontamination.Practically maintenance-freeoperation – due to life time lubricationof bearings and drive unit.No additional safety devicesare required.Inflatable sealing allows conveyinglines to be washed without mucheffort and with few downtimes.Materials can be combined to suitany application as they are fabricatedin premium long-lasting quality(we use exclusively stainless steelelements and bolts made fromspecial steel).Maximum reliability through wellvisible direction indicator.The Y-diverter valveThe T-diverter valveThe V-diverter valveThe M-diverter valveThe hose diverter station7The Y-diverter valve can beused no matter if bulk solidsfrom two conveying lines areto be converged into one or fordirecting the flow from onepipe to two outlets.Application:Directing the flow of bulk solidsin pneumatic dense-phase anddilute-phase conveying systems.Dimensions:DN 150 / 200 / 250 / 300 / 350(Further dimensions on request)With a 90° branch.
