Let the color flow with DCS liquid color and automated dispensing systems.
DCS liquid pigments are slurries of our dry pigment suspended in a water-based medium. Using liquid color makes it possible to automate pigment addition via dispensing equipment and provides excellent dispersion, creating faster color development.
“The use of DCS’ liquid pigment system has given us full flexibility with our architectural mixes. With the use of nine different pumps, we have the ability to run the five base colors and also have four additional pumps for preblended colors. Not only has DCS provided us with the best liquid color in the industry, they have also helped tremendously in our batch plants - both upgrading existing and new construction. The seamless communication between their weigh vessels and the batch plant control system has made the process of weighing dye accurately a non-issue. The knowledge, dedication and customer service at DCS is the best you can find in the industry.”

Automated Liquid Dispensing Systems
Our state-of-the-art liquid color dispensing equipment will automate pigment addition at your plant, saving labor and reducing the possibility of error. Whether you’re producing ready-mixed concrete, precast wall panels, manufactured stone veneer, cast stone, or another concrete product, our dispensing equipment will accurately weigh exactly what you need for each batch.
All DCS dispensers are designed with two basic components—a pump rack and weigh vessel. The pump rack moves material from storage to the vessel, and the vessel weighs the proper amount of each material and discharges it into your mixer. This process is followed by a clean water rinse. Gravity discharge from the weigh vessel ensures that all product weighed is discharged into the mixer.
Liquid Base Color System
The DCS Base Color System offers the ultimate in in-house customization, inventory management, and automation. The Base Color System includes synthetic red, yellow, and black iron oxides as well as natural red iron oxide and ochre. From these five pigments, you can create thousands of different colors. The Base Color System allows for fully automated color dispensing using our liquid color line and proprietary pigment dispensing equipment.
