In the world of fluid handling, accuracy is everything. Whether you’re working with chemicals, water treatment, or food-grade substances, precision dosing ensures safety, compliance, and cost-efficiency. That’s where the electronic metering pump shines. These technologically advanced pumps have revolutionized fluid dosing, bringing automation, control, and accuracy to the forefront.

At MultiTorque, we specialise in supplying reliable, high-quality fluid handling systems, including electronic metering pumps tailored to suit diverse industries across Australia.

What Is an Electronic Metering Pump?

An electronic metering pump is a type of positive displacement pump designed to deliver precise amounts of fluid. It’s electronically controlled, often programmable, and typically used in applications that require exact dosing of liquids over time.

These pumps are essential in water treatment, agriculture, food processing, chemical manufacturing, and more. They usually consist of a pump head, a control panel or interface, a drive mechanism, and a motor. Unlike manual or mechanical metering pumps, the electronic version integrates sensors and controllers to ensure exact dosing, often to fractions of a millilitre.

How Electronic Metering Pumps Work

Electronic metering pumps use a solenoid or stepper motor that pulls back and pushes a diaphragm within the pump head. When the diaphragm retracts, liquid is drawn in through a check valve. When it pushes forward, the fluid is dispensed through the discharge valve.

Thanks to electronic control, these pumps can be programmed for:

• Flow rate (litres per hour or ml per cycle)
• Injection frequency
• Batch dosing
• Pulse or analogue input responsiveness

This level of control ensures reliability in high-stakes environments where human error or mechanical inconsistency can be costly or dangerous.

Applications of Electronic Metering Pumps

Electronic metering pumps are used in countless industries across Australia, including:

• Water Treatment Plants: Dosing chlorine, pH balancing chemicals, or coagulants.
• Agriculture: Controlled delivery of fertilisers, pesticides, and soil conditioners.
• Food & Beverage: Accurate dosing of flavours, preservatives, or cleaning chemicals.
• Chemical Processing: Metering acids, alkalis, and specialty chemicals.
• Pharmaceuticals: Dispensing active ingredients or sterile solutions.
• Mining: Injection of reagents in mineral extraction and wastewater treatment.

MultiTorque supports a broad range of industries and can source or custom-configure an electronic metering pump suited to your needs.

Benefits of Using an Electronic Metering Pump

1. High Precision: Deliver exact volumes with minimal deviation.
2. Programmable: Easily adjust settings for batch dosing, frequency, and flow rate.
3. Compact and Modular: Saves space and integrates easily into existing systems.
4. Durability: Built for demanding environments with chemical-resistant materials.
5. Safety: Minimises human contact with hazardous chemicals.
6. Cost-Effective: Reduces chemical wastage and operational downtime.
7. Automation-Ready: Many models connect to SCADA or PLC systems for smart facility integration.

Key Features to Consider

When selecting an electronic metering pump, it’s important to evaluate your specific needs. MultiTorque offers guidance and technical support to help you select the right pump, but here are a few features to consider:

• Flow Rate Range: Ensure the pump meets your minimum and maximum dosing needs.
• Material Compatibility: Choose from PVDF, stainless steel, PTFE, or polypropylene, depending on the fluid.
• Control Inputs: Some models support 4-20mA, pulse, or manual settings.
• Accuracy Tolerance: Look for pumps with ±1% or better.
• Duty Cycle: Is it continuous or intermittent? This affects motor type and cooling needs.
• Mounting & Enclosure: Wall, foot, or panel mounting options with IP-rated enclosures.
