Users can adjust the injection rates of the pumps to meet specific requirements. This flexibility allows for precise control over the dosage, accommodating different application scenarios.
Key industrial uses of MixRite dosing pumps
1 . Industrial dust and odour suppression:
Tackle dust and unpleasant odours and breathe easier. By injecting dust suppressants and odour-neutralising agents, MixRite pumps can help mitigate unpleasant smells and reduce airborne particles in industrial settings, creating a healthier and more comfortable environment.
2. Top-quality solutions for the printing industry
For printed promotional material, newspapers, magazines, books or packaging, MixRite technology is a proven solution to dosing needs throughout the graphic chain. From the preparation of water for softening, re-mineralisation, pH regulation, and addition of wetting agents to the processing of paper, the dosing operations determine the final quality of the printing and the efficiency of the process.
MixRite dispensers guarantee precision and repeatability for dosing operations regardless of the pressure and flow variations in the water network. The ease of implementation and adjustment of the dosage, self-priming, and compatibility with viscous additives is why MixRite has been the top choice in the market for nearly 20 years.
3. Coolant injection and cutting oil applications
In industrial processes demanding precise temperature control, MixRite pumps inject coolants, optimising equipment performance.
MixRite dosing pumps give the precise delivery of cutting oils and metalworking fluids, boosting efficiency and productivity.
Our pumps contribute to reduced friction, the longer life of cutting and drilling equipment, and overall efficiency in metalworking processes. The controlled, accurate oil delivery improves surface finish, prevents overheating, and help with chip removal.
A cut above the rest, leading factories across the globe rely on MixRite™ to deliver a precise and consistent flow of cutting oil.
4. Drilling and mining industry
Our versatile, durable pumps contribute to efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability in industrial processes globally. No more inconsistencies, just outstanding dosing repeatability and homogeneity, guaranteeing reliable performance in every operation.
Regulate industrial processes through the precise injection of crucial additives.
Save valuable time and effort as you manage your dosing processes smoothly. MixRite’s hydraulic, volumetric, and non-electric metering pumps provide precision dosing and consistent results. The dosing accuracy remains consistent, unaffected by pressure and flow variations in the network.
Frequently asked questions about MixRite metering pumps
What is a metering pump and how does it work?
A metering pump doses a precise volume of chemical into a water line. MixRite hydraulic pumps use water flow to drive the internal mechanism, so no power is needed at the injection point. The pump proportions chemical to match the water flow, which keeps the treatment consistent as conditions change. This improves accuracy and helps reduce waste.
Where are metering pumps used in New Zealand?
Metering pumps are used in horticulture and agriculture for fertigation and treatment dosing, in small water treatment tasks, and in food and beverage cleaning or additive dosing. Light industrial sites also use them for simple and reliable chemical injection. Off-grid or remote locations often choose hydraulic pumps because they avoid electrical work at the injection point.
Common applications include water treatment and sanitation, CIP and washdown dosing, pH control, and additive injection on manufacturing lines. Facilities managers use them for cooling towers, boiler treatment, and general processing needs. MixRite pumps are also used across other sectors such as horticulture and rural treatment systems for livestock and animal health.
How do I choose the right metering pump size?
Match the dose range to your expected flow and pressure. Confirm chemical compatibility for seals and wetted parts, and consider viscosity and temperature. Decide the accuracy required and how you will verify it during routine checks. If unsure, share your flow range, pressure, and chemical with MixRite NZ so we can specify a unit.
How is a metering pump installed and calibrated?
Mount the pump upright near the injection point, provide a clean water feed, and use a non-return valve on the injection port. Flush lines before first use. For calibration, set the ratio, run at a normal flow, collect chemical for a fixed time, compare with the expected volume, then adjust and repeat until within target.
Keep a note of your final settings for future checks.
What maintenance is required for metering/dosing pumps?
Inspect strainers, seals, and check valves on a regular schedule. Replace o-rings and valve kits when dosing becomes unstable or after the suggested service period. Keep the chemical container clean and covered, and rinse the pump with water after use if the product can crystallise. A simple maintenance plan prevents most faults and extends the life of the pump.
More detailed maintenance guides and part information are available for each model on the Dosing Pump Parts page.
Do I need backflow prevention?
Yes. Backflow protection is essential for safe operation and may be required by your local water authority. A non-return or check valve should be installed downstream of the pump whenever there is a chance of water or chemical flowing back through the unit.
If the water line sits higher than the MixRite, or if there is any risk of siphoning, an anti-siphon valve is also recommended. Always follow local plumbing and back-flow regulations when connecting a MixRite to a public water supply or private water source.
For detailed installation guidance, refer to the MixRite product manual supplied with your model.
Can a metering pump handle variable flow?
Yes. A hydraulic metering pump proportions the dose to match water flow. For very wide flow ranges or unusual duty cycles, a different model or set-up may be recommended. Share your minimum and peak flow so we can confirm stability across the range.
For detailed installation guidance, refer to the MixRite product manual supplied with your model.

Choosing the right metering pump
Flow range and pressure
Confirm minimum and peak flow rates, and the operating pressure at the point of injection. Select a pump with a dose range that covers your normal operating band, with a margin for peaks.
Chemical compatibility
Identify the chemical, concentration, and temperature. Choose seals and wetted parts that are compatible. For aggressive chemicals, confirm material suitability before installation.
Viscosity and temperature
Viscous products may require slower draw or specific accessories. Consider ambient and process temperatures. Share these details so we can check performance under your conditions.
Accuracy and controls
Decide the accuracy needed for your process and how you will verify it. Keep a simple log of settings and checks. If you run at very low flows, discuss options for stable dosing.
