There are more Sahara X3s kicking out mulch around the world than any other coloring system. That’s because this machine is engineered to make more out of each ounce of colorant and cut water use in half on every pile of product.
This remote e-stop box on the side of the hopper also sounds an alarm and flashes warning lights before the system starts up. There’s a trusty e-stop button on the control panel, too.
GEM is a smart volumetric system that captures ultrasonic measurements at 5-second intervals to give you complete, convenient control over your operation. From just about anywhere in the world.
The mixing chamber is engineered to take the best colorant money can buy and make even more out of every ounce. Keep scrolling for the three keys to that consistency and efficiency.
Thanks to the dual-chamber design of the mixing chamber, each piece of mulch spends the same amount of time inside. That kind of consistency is why your piles of product will be the same color across hours, days weeks or even seasons.
This is what we call our patented “push-and-pull” process. Basically, the shaft turns in one constant direction to conserve energy, while our combination of blades throws the mulch in all different directions to maximize each piece’s exposure.
As soon as the colorant and water shoot out of these nozzles, the stream is knifed into the smallest possible particles. It’s the otherwise impossible size of those particles that provides such complete coverage on every last piece.
