CONFIDENCE
Riverdale, in business for over 100 years, supplying liquid color for more than 50 years. Equipment designed and manufactured by Maguire Products Inc.
Riverdale Global has researched all the reasons injection molders do not like to use liquid color. They have brought both technology and common sense logistical ideas together to provide an innovative system to the molders of the world.
The Pump-in-the-Drum together with internet remote access provides for peak efficiency and cost reduction. The "milk run" approach has saved the environment from truck loads of liquid waste from entering our landfills and saved molders the cost of the residual color. Truly, the entire system is a big win for sustainability and costs reduction.
