Page 4 • WASTE HANDLING EQUIPMENT NEWS WEST • June 2013

by Tier 4 Interim Engine Technology ROLLING MEADOWS, IL — Komatsu America Corp. today introduces the WA320-7 wheel loader. With a net horsepower of 165 hp, the WA320-7 is powered by a Komatsu SAA6D107E-2 engine and is EPA Tier 4 Interim and EU Stage 3B emission certified. Built upon a proven Tier 3 engine platform, Komatsu has leveraged its leadership in technology and innovation to design a more environmentally friendly engine, which decreases fuel consumption by up to 10 percent, compared to the WA320-6. The WA320-7 replaces the WA320-6 and WA320PZ-6. Weighing in at 33,731 pounds, the new wheel loader features improved efficiency, lower fuel consumption, improved operator comfort, and enhanced serviceability to maximize productivity while lowering operating costs*. One machine for all applications The WA320-7 utilizes the versatile Parallel Zbar (PZ) loader linkage. It provides the added advantage of parallel lift for pallet moving and high tilt forces to handle large attachments. The PZ linkage also offers large break out forces to make bucket filling easy and quick. Ideal for loading material and earthmoving jobs, its lift force is increased by up to 10% compared to the WA320PZ-6 for improved digging performance. New features of the WA320-7 include: • SmartLoader Logic — The WA320-7 features Komatsu SmartLoader Logic, which provides optimal engine torque for the job required. Komatsu SmartLoader Logic helps save fuel by automatically decreasing engine torque when the loader isn’t working hard, such as when it is driving with an empty bucket. Komatsu SmartLoader Logic functions automatically and doesn’t interfere with operation, saving fuel without decreasing production. • Responsive Hydrosta-

tic Powertrain System — Now in its third generation, the Komatsu hydrostatic (HST) drive train features increased pump capacity for higher efficiency and responsiveness. The self-braking effect of the HST drivetrain slows down the machine when the accelerator is released. Additionally, brake wear is practically eliminated. Control is enhanced which is especially important when working in tight places. The electronically controlled HST drivetrain features the Komatsu Traction Control System (KTCS) and facilitates operation in soft or slippery ground. Simplified traction controls feature three settings: MAX, AUTO and S-Mode. The Variable Speed Control (VSC) allows the operator to set a speed up to 8.1 mph for applications such as mowing or broom use. For slower speeds, the creeping speed range sets a speed up to 2.5 mph. • Convenient Maintenance and Serviceability — The WA320-7 provides easy service access to reduce downtime. The new wheel loader has increased cooling capacity, wider cooling fin spacing and a standard auto-reversing fan to help keep the radiator clean. The machine is equipped with the exclusive Komatsu EMMS (Equipment Management Monitoring System), which provides enhanced diagnostic features that give the operator and technicians greater monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities. EMMS also continuously monitors all critical systems, as well as the planned maintenance schedule, and provides troubleshooting assistance to minimize diagnosis and repair time. • Enhanced Operator Environment — The new cab provides a more comfortable and quieter work environment so the operator can maximize productivity. For improved visibility, the front glass has been lowered and the dashboard has been redesigned. A new redesigned seat mounted right hand console has a multi-function mono-

Weighing in at 33,731 pounds, the new wheel loader features improved efficiency, lower fuel consumption, improved operator comfort, and enhanced serviceability to maximize productivity while lowering operating costs. lever with proportional control for the integrated third spool. An auxiliary input has also been added to connect an MP3 player or other device along with two 12 volt ports that have been incorporated into the cab. The high resolution 7inch LCD monitor features enhanced capabilities and displays information in 25 languages for global support. Using the monitor, the operator can easily modify settings for items such as the new Auto Idle Shutdown or the auto reversing fan. Operators can also check operational records, such as working hours or fuel consumption; monitor the KDPF soot load; or check how much time is required before the next maintenance interval. Additionally, the monitor offers the operator the option of using the ECO Guidance function, which will provide operational tips to reduce fuel consumption. A high resolution backup camera is standard with every machine and the separate monitor is mounted on the right hand side of the console for operator convenience. • EPA Tier 4 Interim and

EU Stage 3B Emission Certified Engine — Built upon proven Tier 3 technology, the SAA6D107E-2 engine provides lower emissions while also lowering fuel consumption. The Komatsu Tier 4 Interim engine uses an advanced electronic control system to manage air flow rate, fuel injection, combustion and exhaust aftertreatment to optimize performance, reduce emissions, reduce fuel consumption and provide advanced diagnostic capability. As a leader in hydraulic technology, Komatsu has developed a hydraulically actuated Komatsu Variable Geometry Turbocharger (KVGT) and an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve, resulting in better precision and air management as well as longer component life. The Komatsu Diesel Particulate Filter (KDPF) has an integrated design that will not interfere with daily operation but will keep the operator aware of its status. This smart system enables a high percentage of passive regeneration. • Customer peace of mind is standard with Komatsu CARE® — Komatsu remains focused

on lowering the customer’s ownership costs by engineering machines with increased fuel efficiency and productivity. To further reduce owning and operating costs, Komatsu CARE complimentary scheduled maintenance is standard on all WA320-7 wheel loaders for the earlier of three (3) years or 2000 hours (whichever occurs first). Services are performed by factory certified technicians using only Komatsu genuine parts and fluids. Also included are complimentary KDPF exchanges at 4,500 hours and 9,000 hours within the first five (5) years. The WA320-7 is equipped with the latest KOMTRAXÆ technology, which is fully integrated with Komatsu’s Tier 4 technology and sends machine operating information to a secure website utilizing wireless technology. Data such as operating hours, fuel consumption, location, cautions and maintenance alerts are relayed to the web application for analysis. The KOMTRAX fleet monitoring system increases machine availability, reduces the risk of machine theft, allows

for remote diagnosis by the distributor, and provides a wealth of other information to help drive business efficiency and productivity. Komtrax® is a registered trademark of Komatsu, Ltd.

Hey GrinderGuy: Should I be using liquid colorant or dry powder colorant? I had a call last month from a Colored Mulch Manufacturer whom had been using liquid colorant for several years, but saw a competitor just start using dry powder. This competitor was hanging a supersack of dry powder from an excavator bucket and sprinkling the powder over a pile of wood then grinding it all in a tub grinder with a fire hose of water spraying into the tub while they were grinding. Not

knowing much about the dry powder, he wanted to make sure he wasn’t missing a new improvement in the industry, so he asked me for my opinion. What is dry powder colorant and liquid colorant? The powder colorants, called pigments, are essentially the raw color materials used to create a liquid. The powder pigment is what gives the liquid its color. These days, anyone

with a Trommel Screen and Saran™ Wrap can color mulch. Dry colorant is not a new development. I remember using dry powder back in the mid 90’s. While I did not use this method of application, it did work but the advancement of the liquid lines quickly made the dry application obsolete. My opinion, and it’s just my opinion, was: • While the powder is cheaper, this type of application does not allow for an accurate and consistent measurement of colorant application. So how do you know how much color you are applying and how much the mulch is costing? • I would be concerned about color runoff since there are no other chemicals to adhere the colorant to the wood. Also, I would be concerned about the powder that was not broken down in the grinding process and could potentially runoff. • The liquid color uses a much finer powder thus covering the wood much

better with less actual color and lasts much longer do to the additional chemicals added to adhere the color to the wood • I have seen operations mixing industrial ash with mulch to turn it black, and not use any colorant at all With that being said, many operations use this sprinkle and grind technique today and swear by it. After my call, I turned to a few Industry experts for their opinion. Some Colorant Manufacturing Companies sell both liquid and dry, others strictly liquid. Estimates are 95 plus percent of the operations coloring mulch are using liquid colorant. Those that sell only liquid had some common facts that were repeated: • The process of creating a liquid provides the end user with a more effective product. Thus, a higher price per pound than the dry colorants. • Using a pound to pound comparison, which with the price of dry pow-

der being significantly cheaper, makes the dry powder look very attractive. But with the lack of application controls that tends not to be the case in the overall cost. • Without mixing in a drum, the dry powder application is limited to applying in a grinder. Stand alone color machines or trommels wouldn’t have this effective of an application process. • When manufacturing liquid color, the dry powder used in the process is ground even finer to extend the coverage of the powder in the liquid. • The composition of the liquid colorant contains binders, resins and surfactants and other materials, just like house paint or wood stain, which enable the colorant to not only adhere to wood but to penetrate into it. Most of the color loss of mulch is from wood decomposition, not from the loss of the color. • Compare MSDS Sheets and how each needs to be handled and

June 2013 • WASTE HANDLING EQUIPMENT NEWS WEST • Page 5

what safety equipment needs to be used for both. • Powder Colorants are used in concrete and mortar applications and then were just used the same way to color wood. A liquid mulch colorant was designed specifically to color wood in a mulch coloring machine. In speaking with TH Glennon owner, Brian Shea, he stated 20 percent of his sales are dry powder colorants. The main determining factor dictating the use of dry over liquid is the moisture content of the feedstock. Optimum moisture for colored mulch is 40 percent, so if your feedstock is already at or near there, why add water he says. The dry colorant will be pounded into the moist wood with a grinder. The number one manufacturing issue with colored mulch is coloring operations using too much water. This leads to bad coverage, wash off and runoff among other problems. While there are several other operational issues with the dry process, companies are going to continue to use it because it makes sense for their operations. The advice for those just starting a color operation? • Use the liquid. It’s easier to control the application process and easier to figure out your cost. • Do lots of research, visit colorant manufacturers facilities and ask for factual demonstrations of liquid and dry colorants. • Research the Market area and decide which colors sell best in your area and start with just a few. • Decide what method of application you will start with. Still think dry is worth a try? Do your homework. It’s easy to do. Ask your Colorant supplier if they offer dry powder and their opinion on its use. Then try it for yourself. Compare it to what you currently produce and ask your customers opinion. Thanks to www.amerimulch.com, www.colorbiotics.com and www.glennoncompany.com for their industry information.

Electric grinder lowers operating costs by Jon M. Casey

ith ever increasing fuel prices an ongoing part of daily operations, it didn’t take Mike Hartman at H&H General Excavating, Inc. in Spring Grove, PA, long to make the decision to switch to an electric powered Diamond Z HZ 7000E grinder when it was time to replace their existing unit. Having owned several other Diamond Z grinders over the years, the decision was easy. “We found that it was time to replace our HDZ7000 diesel unit, we looked into an electric powered model as its replacement,” said Hartman. “So far, it has been an excellent experience.” Mike’s father Charlie, Founder of H&H General Excavating, Inc. recalled how they were one of the first recyclers in the nation to own the most powerful tub grinders that Diamond Z offered at the time. That was in the year 2000. Buying it was a big step for them at the time. “We had bought our first grinder in 1983 when we started grinding our own mulch as part of our gener-

That was when we worked with Diamond Z to develop the 1463B. That was the first of its kind in the U.S. It had a 1200 hp Cummins diesel engine in it,” he said. Since then, H&H has owned two 7000s and a 5000 series unit as well. Plant tour During our March 2013 visit, Mike Hershey, manager of daily operations at the grinding and bagging facility, took us on a tour of the plant where their new DHZ 7000E was in operation. “We received the new grinder last fall,” he said. “It has been operating smoothly since we first started it up.” Hershey explained that the switch to electrical power required hp, 480 volt electric drive motors power the mill and a 250 hp motor powers the grinder’s hydraulic system. “We have reduced our overall grinding costs significantly,” said Hershey. “Not only do we no longer have the regular maintenance items like lube, oil and

We’ve gone from around $200 per hour for diesel fuel to about $65 per hour for electric.” According to Mike Hartman, that adds up quickly. “Our annual savings will be very helpful because while cost of operation has gone up over the years, the wholesale price of mulch has remained steady. This will give us some needed cost savings.” The grinder is configured as a portable model, which allows them to move it for debris cleaning from underneath the unit. This gives the crew easier cleanup following grinding operations. Since the grinder is in a central location, the need for a H&H’s new Diamond Z DZH 7000 electric horizontal grinder, is a powerful and quiet unit.

stationary power source is not a hindrance to daily use. Once material is ground, it goes to stockpiling as bulk mulch. From there, it is screened to be sold as bulk material for landscapers and lawn and garden services or as bagged product for sale in the retail market. Hershey said that the mulch ground from yard waste, tends to be darker and is used for black or brown colored products. The lighter “white” mulch that comes from the pine and lighter wood waste, is usually reserved for red mulch products. In either case, mulch to be colored is processed through the company’s new Colorbiotics Sahara X colorant system, where it is colored red, brown or black. On this day’s visit, they were producing black mulch. Hershey said that their Sahara X colorant system, which is new and has been in operation since February, is capable of coloring 250-300 yards per hour. “We monitor temperatures during the winter months and when it is above freezing, we color mulch in preparation for our spring sales,” he said. Material designated for bagging, goes to the bagging plant where it is bagged, palletized and prepared for shipment. During our visit, a private label composted soil product and Country Boy Topsoil were being bagged on two different production lines. This is at the rate of 26 bags per minute each! With both systems computerized and fully automated, only one or two workers are needed inside the plant to tend to the ongoing production process; a process that is extremely efficient. “We like to have 60 to 70 percent of our product needs on hand when the season starts,” Hershey said. “We start preparing for the upcoming year in September so we are ready when spring sales begin. From then until mid-June, we are continually busy keeping up with demand. We rebuild our stock in the summer months as we have opportunity.” Hershey said that they serve a variety of customers in the mid-Atlantic region including West Virginia and Ohio. Their bulk and bagged products go out to “Big Box” vendors, lawn and garden centers, landscapers and hardware stores. These products include their Country Boy branded products as well as private labeled soil and mulch products for co-packed customers. H&H’s product line includes colored and natural mulch products and soil blends as well. Hershey said that annual bagged production runs somewhere around five to six million bags shipped per year, while the bulk shipments total in the 200,000-cubic-yard range. Hershey said that right now, they are running 10 hour days, 5 days per week. When the season is a full production, they adjust acco-225-4669 or visit their website at www.h-hgenexc.com/index.html.

Sandvik selects Volvo Penta Power Generation Systems for new Teritary crushers CHESAPEAKE, VA — Sandvik Construction has selected Volvo Penta power generation engines for its new electric powered track mounted tertiary crushers. The new UH450E tertiary crusher was developed by Sandvik in response to market demand and special requests from customers for an electric powered system. The new generation UH450E is powered by a Volvo Penta

TAD1651GE power generation engine installed in a soundproof container. The electric power system greatly improves the energy efficiency of the unit. Low fuel consumption, uptime and the good reputation of Volvo Penta engines were Sandvik’s main reasons for selecting a Volvo Penta engine for the new UH450E crusher. Volvo Penta’s TAD1651GE engine offers 505 kVA, prime power and

556 kVA, standby power at 1,500 rpm. The engine provides low maintenance and fuel consumption costs for the end users. The engine meets Stage IIIA/Tier 3 emission legislation which provides an environmentally conscious choice. This project is the latest step in the long term relationship between Volvo Penta and Sandvik Mining and Construction AB. The two companies signed a cooperation

agreement with the goal to enhance the long term competitiveness of Sandvik’s products. Sandvik is a global industrial group with advanced products and world leading positions in selected areas — tools for metal cutting, equipment and tools for the mining and construction industries, stainless materials, special alloys, metallic and ceramic resistance materials as well as

process systems. In 2012 the Group had about 49,000 employees and representation in 130 countries, with annual sales of more than 98,000 MSEK. Sandvik Construction is a business area within the Sandvik Group providing solutions for virtually any construction industry application encompassing such diverse businesses as surface and underground rock

quarrying, tunnelling, excavation, demolition, road building, recycling, and civil engineering. The range of products includes rock tools, drilling rigs, breakers, bulk materials handling and crushing and screening machinery. In 2012 sales amounted to more than 9,700 MSEK, with approximately 3,300 employees (pro forma rounded numbers).

Hydraulic Institute publishes ANSI/HI 9.6.192012 Rotodynamic pumps guideline for NPSH margin matches the NPSH3, the first stage head will be three percent less than the fully developed value. Today’s higher speed, higher energy density pumps might not achieve acceptable service life under suction conditions without an adequate NPSH Margin. This document serves as a tutorial on the subject of NPSH as well as providing guidance for determining NPSH Margin. The following considerations are discussed relative to the sensitivity of a pump to NPSH related problems: • Impeller inlet tip speed; • Larger vs. smaller impeller eye diameter; • Suction specific speed; • Characteristics of the pumpage; • Operating range of

the pump and proximity to POR and AOR; • Materials of construction and cavitation resistance; • Impeller vane overlap; • Pump size and relationship of size to cavitation damage; • Duty cycle — time of operation under cavitating condition; and • Reduction of NPSHA with time This excellent NPSH reference helps pump users understand why it is essential to specify an appropriate NSPH Margin and learn about the negative aspects of specifying an excessive NPSH Margin. The updated guideline is available for purchase at the HI eStore <http://estore.pumps.org/Rotodynamic-Pumps-Guideline-

for-NPSH-Margin-ANSIHI961-P236C0.aspx> for $80 and is available in both hardcopy and pdf formats. The mission of the Hydraulic Institute is to be a value-adding resource to member companies, engineering consulting firms and pump users worldwide by developing and delivering comprehensive industry standards, expanding knowledge by providing education and tools for the effective application, testing, installation, operation, maintenance and performance optimization of pumps and pumping systems, and by serving as a forum for the exchange of industry information.

PARSIPPANY, NJ — The Hydraulic Institute (HI) has published ANSI/HI 9.6.1-2012 Rotodynamic Pumps Guideline for NPSH Margin. The new guideline serves as a replacement for the 1998 edition, which was later withdrawn completely in 2003. This guideline covers rotodynamic, general purpose pumps with power levels as high as 5300 hp and impeller tip speeds less than 130-feet per second and describes the benefits to pump longevity of maintaining suitable NPSH Margin. Pump users should be aware that “the full published pump head will not be achieved when the NPSH Available equals the NPSH3 of the pump. If the NPSH Available

Quality is key to DK Organics In every marketplace, businesses compete by establishing themselves within a competitive position that sets them apart. Sometimes that can mean providing the lowest price, the most unique twist or the largest selection. But for DK Organics in Lake Bluff, IL, their focus has always been to provide

the absolute highest quality products, and follow the strictest production control to ensure that quality is consistently maintained. And for more than 20 years, they have been delivering the finest co aggregates in the Chicagoland area. It has been said that regulation can spawn an industry, and in Illinois,

that has certainly been the case for the compost and organics industry. When the green waste landfill diversion law was enacted in 1988, the market was suddenly faced with a glut of material that now had no established disposal solution. David “Sid” Gorter DK Organics, realized the tremendous potential

that was unfolding, and quickly scrambled to become educated enough to enter the business. Sid continued to refine their production methods and further increase the quality and purity of all their products. Continuous process improvements, capitalization on new university level research and ad-

Vermeer is an innovative leader in the manufacturing of underground and tree-care equipment. They can also be your most valued partner in your day-to-day operations.

vancement in equipment were all investments they made to ensure they maintained their high quality advantage. Creating top quality products requires top quality equipment, and a critical piece of equipment for any organics yard is a screen. Insisting on having the best, DK Organics was one of the first companies in the United States to own a Doppstadt SM series trommel, acquiring their first unit back in 2003, just a year after they first became available domestically. “The Doppstadt engineering is definitely superior in our eyes,” explained operations manager Andrew Mariani. “The efficiency of their production, the ease of operation and the minimal downtime have definitely had a positive impact on our operations and our product quality.” Their Doppstadt trommel is certainly asked to do a lot: screening fines from mulch, finishing compost, creating blends, cleaning soil; they even offer it on a contract basis to organic farmers offsite that are running small scale compost operations. But never content with the status quo, Gorter already had his eye on the next innovation he recognized would propel them further ahead of their competition. “For years, Sid was waiting for the Doppstadt star screen insert to become available in the U.S. market,” said Mariani. And just as they were among the first to get their hands on the Dopp-

Page 18 • WASTE HANDLING EQUIPMENT NEWS WEST • June 2013

Quality from 17 stadt brand back in the early 2000s, DK Organics was again among the first to get an SM star screen insert in March of 2011. “We traded in our existing (SM) 720 and got a new 720 with the star screen.” The Doppstadt star screen insert is engineered to drop directly into the trommel unit, simply replacing the drum in an easy 15 minute change. It works on a revised principle utilizing a urethane star design for extended life. The star shape on the shaft is oblong as opposed to the conventional round star which aids dramatically with shaft cleaning. Alternate shaft speeds on the deck, exclusive to Doppstadt, are extremely effective in the stratification of material feed, leading to a cleaner oversize product and increased production rates. Wet, clumpy organic material with moisture content as high as 60 percent or more can continue to be processed, with throughput results as much as 50 percent higher than screeni-inch” drum, but recognized that we were just not getting the product we wanted in the time we wanted it with the quality we are aiming for. But the star screen was an immediate game changer for us. We were now doing in a day what had previously taken nearly a week to run. Seriously.” The resulting increase in quality was also as dramatic, and Mariani believes this single equipment investment alone has put them far ahead of their competition. “DK Organics is obviously not the only game in town, and other providers work hard to meet the needs of their customers too. But for us, our goal is to produce and deliver the highest quality compost, mulches and soils possible. Our customers come to us with that expectation and we need to always look for ways to exceed their standards. Our investment in this star screen is another example of that.” - Mariani. Their process begins with control over the source product — DK Organics insists on using only clean, controlled yard waste and landscape material. After primary shredding, they

produce a menu of mulch products, some of which are double (or even triple) ground fine to result in a premium product. Source materials include southern hardwood bark, premium hardwood and leaf mulch. Color and texture is crafted through precision aging; although they recently added a dark red

added when additional moisture becomes necessary. The final product is screened for purity and sold in bulk. Custom blended composts, mulches and soils can be crafted upon request, and are mixed with precision in the Doppstadt SM trommel with the star screen insert. Mariani has

found that the strong agitation of the star screen is a perfect environment for producing a consistent blended product. As with any industry, staying on top means not standing still. Competition is always going to catch up, and the marketplace demands constantly mature. As stan-

dards rise and expectations become greater, DK Organics will always be thinking two steps ahead. It has been more than 20 years since they first realized the opportunity to gain an advantage in this Northern Illinois market, and they aren’t about to let their guard down any time soon.

Sahara X3 System provides consistant color by Jon M. Casey

H&H’s new Colorbiotics Sahara X3 colorant system is installed near the new Diamond Z DZH 7000 electric grinder for efficient mulch coloring. The “white” mulch stockpiled on the left, will become red mulch. The whiter base material makes a brighter, more durable product.

H&H General Excavating, Inc. found themselves needing a way to color ground wood mulch products in a consistant way in order to satisfy their customers who were looking for colored products, that matched from season to season and from batch to batch. This was especially true for customers shopping for

bagged mulch products. Since H&H had previously been coloring their mulch with a homemade color batching system, they knew that they needed a commercial system developed and perfected specifically to do a consistant job while at the same time, using colorants that

were long lasting and consistant from year to year. With that as the goal, they recently took delivery of a Sahara® X3 coloring system from Colorbiotics. “We took delivery on this new system in February 2013,” said Mike Hershey, who oversees the mulch operations for H&H. “We needed a reliable system that could keep up with the demands that we have for volume. This unit will do upwards of 300-cubic-yards of mulch per hour. We routinely run between 250 and 300 yards per hour. Right now, we are coloring black mulch.” Hershey said that while their home made coloring system worked well, it was not able to meet their current needs. Because of the limits that it had with mixing and metering of colorant, and because the system was on in years, it was ready to be replaced. He said they wanted a system that was simple to operate and designed for the kind of production rates that H&H required. With the Sahara X3, they can color mulch just about as fast as Mick Mummert, their loader operator, can keep it filled with uncolored mulch. The colorant comes in easily transportable totes that they purchase in truckload quantities. Mummert, who is responsible for the daily operation of the colorant system, is able to operate the Sahara X3 remotely, from the cab of his 966H loader. “Mick does a great job for us,” said Hershey. “He is able to keep us supplied with whichever color product we need. The new unit has run flawlessly, and we are extremely pleased with it.” According to Colorbiotics, the Sahara system uses true atomizing technology. The Sahara requires up to 50 percent less water and minimal colorant to

produce the industry’s highest quality and lowest cost colored mulch. The patented Sahara system is loaded with features designed to increase profitability and reduce drying time along with other challenges such as mold, faded looking mulch and wash off. The Sahara boasts the most aggressive mixing chamber in the industry. That ensures maximum surface to colorant exposure. It’s built to last long under extreme duty, and its fully automated control panel makes it a one person operation. Colorbiotics says that the Sahara X Series is the most efficient mulch coloring system in the world. It delivers perfectly colored mulch with much less water and colorant, so producers can bag and ship product immediately after coloring. The H&H Sahara X3 unit is powered by three phase electricity which makes it an ideal fit as a complimentary tool to go with their new Diamond Z electric grinder. For more information on the Sahara X System or Colorbiotics colorant products, visit them online at www.colorbiotics.com.

The Colorbiotics Sahara X3 system uses less water and colorant than the previous way that H&H was coloring their mulch.

Darker mulch is loaded into the Colorbiotics Sahara X3 colorant system. Today, they are making black mulch.

Mulch that has just been colored black, is conveyed onto a stockpile at a lower level where it will be used as bagged or bulk product depending on material size. The mulch is screened before bagging and the smaller material goes out as bulk material while the preferred larger product is bagged and palletized for the retail bag customers.

Mick Mummert oversees keeping the Sahara X3 full. Here he fills the hopper with a 966H loader.
