In a thread about the upcoming (maybe) ISS Long Beach trade show, some expressed interest in these seemingly very helpful additions to the industry.
Corob seems to be the big player in this field. Any others? https://www.corob.com/products/dispensers-weight/automatic-gravimetric-dispensers/n20-n/ (https://www.corob.com/products/dispensers-weight/automatic-gravimetric-dispensers/n20-n/)
This could be the place to share your thoughts, and knowledge on these guys.

I've seen some like the one on your link that are the size of a car like that at the Image Technology booth before but not finding them on their website.
What I am more interested in is this pigment dispenser,

They had that at ISS a few years back and it looked perfect, you put in the bases and then it puts in the right amount of pigments based off the weight of base you put in.
Seems pretty foolproof and the price wasn't crazy, however it would make more sense if the formulas worked better to match colors.
I shouldn't have to make my own formulas to match colors, colors are scientific, the ink companies should be doing a better job of making formulas in my opinion, should be a selling point.

This is a COROB unit. We have dozens of them in shops running Magna inks across the US and Central America. They work fantastic when installed and the pigment specific gravities dialed in. There is no scale, these are volumetric dispensers. Multiple sizes. You want enough canisters to handle all your pigments.

For plastisol, the DM4 built for Wilflex is by far the most prevalent dispenser. Not even close. Second for plastisol would be the Dispenser for Rutland brand which was built by NovaFlow who is now part of COROB. Both of these plastisol dispensers are not cheap and out of the price range for small to mid size shops. We have placed numerous under contract, but the numbers have to be huge to justify.
The COROB dispensers are for water base pigments. They also built massive ones for the pain industry. They will not work with plastisol pigments - we tried years ago looking for a lower cost in plastisol dispenser alternative. These units are pretty reasonably priced and easier to justify the cost.
