The video below shows the granule metering system and the universal system for powder pigment metering from Finke GmbH:

The slurry system is a system for production and proportioning of pigment slurry for batching plants with high pigment consumption, producing cementitious and lime-bound building materials (like manufactures of concrete roof tiles, concrete blocks, concrete pavers, wet cast products, architectural concrete, etc.) The system features low pigmentation costs. It consists of mixing and holding tanks for the slurry, scales placed above the concrete mixer(s), and pumps to transfer the slurry from the tanks to the scales. Alternatively, volumetric proportioning directly into the mixer is an option.

The granule metering system is an automatic metering system able to handle both spray-dried and compacted granules. The system is available for up to 12 colours, feeding up to 6 concrete mixers.

The universal system for powder pigment metering is a compact dispensing system for powder pigments. The system is designed to use cheaper powder pigments instead of granular or semi-free-flowing pigments. The system is available for up to 6 colours, serving 2 concrete mixers.

Both the granule metering system and the universal system for powder pigment metering are designed to be used for any industrial scale colouring application (e.g., roof tiles, block paving, architectural concrete, and mortar). They can blend almost every colour your market needs by using only a few basic powder pigments.

Slurry system:

• Designed for concrete plants with one or more concrete mixers
• The system includes mixing and holding tanks, scales, and pumps
• The slurry and mixing tanks can be charged with powder pigments from paper bags or bulk bags
• The scales are placed above the concrete mixer(s) and have a high weighing accuracy
• The double diaphragm pumps can transfer the slurry from the tanks to the scales over relatively long distances through a recirculation hose system
• Flexible installation
• Volumetric proportioning directly into the mixer as an alternative

Granule metering system:

• Can handle both spray-dried and compacted granules
• Almost dust-free pigment processing
• High weighing accuracy combined with high-speed metering shortens cycle times
• With model Uni Gran, a countless number of concrete colour shades can be produced for individual market needs, using only a few basic (primary) pigments
• The system can handle up to 12 colours, feeding up to six concrete mixers. Customized units upon request. Short setup-time due to pre-assembled system.

Universal dispensing system for powder pigments:

• Able to use both powder pigments and granulated pigments, which leads to possible cost-savings and more suppliers to choose between
• Reduction of inventory through additive metering
• High weighing accuracy combined with high-speed metering shortens cycle times
• Almost dust-free pigment processing
• Short setup-time due to pre-assembled system
