Coming Soon: A Better Way to Bag Color

Meet our next-gen granular dispenser that saves space and makes your job easier
Posted 1/20/2025

For years, Solomon Colors has set the standard in precision color bagging. Now, we’re proud to introduce an even better solution: a smarter, more efficient granular bagging system designed to meet the demands of your operation.

Features & Benefits of the Next-Gen GBS

This next-gen dispenser will streamline your operation with thoughtful features that save space, improve ergonomics, while delivering the reliable color you know and trust.

Low-Profile Design
The updated footprint—8' tall x 9' wide x 8' deep—fits nicely against a wall, maximizing floor space without sacrificing capacity or performance.
Front-Loading Access
With the new front-loading design, you can drive a forklift directly up to the machine and load all four primary colors.
Upgraded Trolley System
Say goodbye to bending down to lift heavy bags. The built-in trolley is now faster and raises bags to a more comfortable height for lifting.
Unmatched Color Precision
Create thousands of colors using Solomon’s trusted ColorFlo® Granular pigments, delivering consistent, high-quality results every time.
Proven Features You Trust
Just like the original, you’ll still enjoy a user-friendly touch screen, minimal dusting, and simple hookups to 110V power and clean, dry air.

"Our goal was to take the original GBS—already a trusted machine—and make it even better for you," says Aaron Thomas, Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Solomon Colors. "We heard your feedback about space constraints and ease of use, so we’ve redesigned it to fit against a wall and load from the front. We hope it makes your day-to-day job easier."

Is the Next-Gen GBS Right for You?

The new version of the GBS is designed for both Ready Mix operations and distributors who sell color to concrete contractors.

For Ready Mix Operations: The low-profile, wall-friendly design and front-loading save valuable space in your concrete batching plant while maintaining the precision and efficiency you depend on.
For Distributors: If you supply contractors with concrete color, the next-gen GBS streamlines your bagging process, making it easier to stock, handle, and distribute the products your customers need, even in small spaces.

Whether you’re upgrading from the original GBS or considering granular bagging for the first time, this system is built to meet your needs.
