“We use DCS’s liquid color dispensing system. We run six pump lines—five for base colors, and one for use with DCS preblended colors. We have had their system in here for 13 years, and we’ve had virtually no major issues to speak of. For us, the consistency of our color is most important, and DCS’ liquid pigment has allowed us to deliver high-end architectural concrete to our customers. The system gives us a great deal of flexibility, and if we need help, all we have to do is pick up the phone and DCS is always there for us, always ready to help. ”

DCS Automated 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.

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.
