General Applications
Valuable tools in a variety of industries
MixRite dosing pumps deliver accurate and reliable proportional dosing across a wide range of New Zealand industries. They are used anywhere water-soluble chemicals need to be mixed consistently and safely. Hydraulic models operate without electricity, while electric versions support applications that prefer powered delivery or automated dosing cycles.
These strengths make MixRite pumps suitable for chlorination, sanitation, food and beverage processing and general washdown or plant-cleaning work.
Key uses of MixRite dosing pumps in NZ include:
1. Water treatment and chlorination
Improving water quality often requires precise and stable injection of treatment chemicals. MixRite pumps deliver a proportional amount of chlorine, pH adjuster or coagulant based on flow rate. This helps keep water quality consistent even when pressure changes.
Because hydraulic MixRite pumps operate using water flow alone, they suit rural, remote or power-limited installations. Their chemical resistance supports long-term reliability when working with corrosive treatment agents. Accurate proportional dosing also helps reduce unnecessary chemical use.
2. Disinfection and sanitation
Sanitation systems rely on accurate chemical mixing to maintain hygiene standards. MixRite pumps draw detergents, sanitisers or disinfectants into the water line and blend them at a set ratio. This supports consistent cleaning results and reduces both chemical waste and operator error.
MixRite pumps can be installed in fixed or mobile cleaning setups. Because dosing remains stable when flow or pressure fluctuates, they provide dependable results in busy commercial environments.
3. Food and beverage production
Food and beverage processors rely on dependable cleaning routines to maintain product quality and meet compliance standards. MixRite pumps support cleaning-in-place (CIP), washdowns and general hygiene tasks by keeping detergents and sanitisers at the correct strength throughout the cleaning cycle.
Their chemical resistance and stable operation make them suitable for demanding conditions, including high-frequency cleaning and exposure to multiple cleaning products. Accurate dosing helps prevent residue, streamline workflows and reduce downtime.
4. House and plant washing
MixRite pumps simplify washdown and cleaning tasks by automatically mixing cleaning solutions into the water flow. The pump draws the detergent or cleaning agent into the line and blends it at a consistent ratio, producing a ready-to-use cleaning mix for exterior surfaces, equipment and general plant maintenance.
Accurate proportional dosing helps maintain cleaning performance even when water pressure varies. This reduces chemical waste and supports more efficient, eco-friendly operation.
MixRite dosing pumps bring precision, consistency, and adaptability
The benefits of using MixRite dosing pumps in general applications lie in exacting dosing, flexibility, reliability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

Frequently asked questions about general applications of MixRite dosing pumps
What industries use MixRite dosing pumps?
MixRite pumps are used in water treatment, sanitation, food and beverage processing and general washdown or plant-cleaning work. They are suitable for most applications that require accurate proportional dosing of water-soluble chemicals.
Can MixRite pumps handle detergents or disinfectants?
Yes. MixRite pumps can be used with a wide range of soluble detergents, sanitisers, disinfectants and neutralising agents. Always refer to your model manual or contact us if you need to confirm compatibility with a specific chemical.
Do MixRite pumps work at low or variable flow rates?
Yes. MixRite pumps maintain consistent dilution ratios at low and variable flow rates. The proportional mechanism adjusts automatically as water pressure changes to keep dosing stable.
Do MixRite pumps need electricity?
Hydraulic MixRite pumps operate without electricity. Electric models are available for installations that prefer powered dosing, automation or controlled dosing cycles.
Can MixRite pumps help reduce chemical waste?
Yes. Accurate proportional dosing prevents over-mixing and supports efficient, more environmentally conscious chemical use.
How do I check chemical compatibility?
Chemical compatibility depends on the model and the substance being used. Always check your MixRite manual or contact the MixRite team for confirmation.
