Combined laboratory + production technology for preparing custom colors
The combined technology is the perfect answer for the preparation of custom colours and following automatic production of the batch. Both machines are connected to the same raw material storage tanks.
Thanks to the Micro high precision laboratory dispenser, we can prepare and match custom colours very rapidly into 100 g pots and then send the validated formulations to the Selecta production unit.

The only professional solution for sophisticated color matching and laboratory color adjustment, Micro has been designed by taking a complete factory machine and scaling it down to laboratory size. Micro represents Dromont’s perfection in miniaturizing its well-known patented 3-way valves as this dispenser includes the exact same valve and software technology as the factory system with the highest accuracy guaranteed in the market of 0.01 grams.
Its special patented design allows for central dispensing of all components, guaranteeing the unique flexibility to allow dosing to occur in small cups of 100 grams up to 5-liter cans.
Micro
Up to 160 valves
- Three Models up to 32, 64 and 160 valves
- Accuracy: 0.01 g
- Range of Dosage Containers: from 100 g to 5 lt
- Dromont patented three-way O-Ring Free AISI 304 stainless steel 1/2″ dosing valves with same diameter for delivery and recirculation
- Automatic system for cleaning the dosing valves
- Protected by safety fences and access gate equipped with interlocks or protective panels to allow operator entry only in safe conditions
Micro is available in three models of 32, 64 and 160 valves. It allows proportional dispensing management, set individually for each component, to occur in a safe traceable process controlled by weighing technology. The special O-ring free valves with patented design allow for long lasting reliability. In addition, the dispensing head is completely enclosed to eliminate scale variation due to wind or other external sources. Micro system is characterised by the horizontal movement of the valves into a central dispensing point which prevents from splashes and dirtiness.
Highly beneficial when custom colors are required, Micro can be linked to larger production dispensing system. This allows for very efficient color matching, automatic sampling and scale-up to production of the approved colors.
High-speed automated sample lines
The e-Sample line is a fully automated sample line designed for laboratories, offering all colors in a sample jar in a few seconds. The line is based on a new in-line filling and tinting approach to dispense bases (with Micro dosing head) and colorants (with Prima tinting machine) alternatively, eliminating the unpleasant effect of finding colorants trapped in the corners of the lid after mixing.
- Designed to meet the need to frequently change the base materials for R&D and testing purposes
- Seamless color change-over
- Ideal for handling the complexity of any quantity, color, sheen or container size
- All colors offered in small sample jars to minimize waste quantities
- In-line management of highly precise scales for bases and colorants
- Automated processes reduce labor and increase throughput at a low cost
- Scalable results and single jar traceability
