The Aerogran™ granular dispenser was developed to effectively deliver the iron oxide pigments commonly known as “C” (compact) and “G” (granule) grade. Because of its simple, uncomplicated design, it has proven over and over to be one of the industries leaders for accuracy and reliability. The original dispenser built back in the 1990’s continues to deliver granular color just like the day it was put into service.
