Working Principle

COLORIST operates with precision and efficiency at its core. Differently pigmented concretes are layered into the main compartment, ensuring a controlled and consistent blending process. Upon completion, the system releases these concretes to the machine hopper using an advanced opener/shutter mechanism and a bottom pull plate. These two units allow small concrete avalanches dropping down in the main concrete silo. This meticulous process prevents the dominance of a single color in the initial pallet cycles. As the machine consumes concrete, COLORIST seamlessly enters replenishment mode, ready to receive a fresh supply of pigmented concretes. This continuous cycle of blending and replenishment ensures uninterrupted paver machine operation, making COLORIST an essential component for new installations and retrofits alike.
