Morbark System Uses Dry Mulch Colorant Morbark has introduced a new mulch coloring technology that utilizes a dry colorant. The new system, which replaces liquid dyes with a powder, provides several advantages, according to Morbark. The new Morbark Dry Colorant Processing System produces a premium colored mulch at significantly reduced cost, and it impregnates pigment deeply into the wood fiber for long lasting color. The powdered colorant is easier to use and causes less mess. Morbark tub grinders can be retrofitted with an inexpensive dispenser attachment to make them capable of producing colored mulch with the new system. The Morbark Dry Colorant Processing System automatically meters and applies the colorant in the discharge area of the grinder during a primary grind. Finished mulch may be processed immediately or stockpiled. During a final grind, water is added in the grinder, and the hammermill action drives the pigment deeply into the wood.
