Processing dosing pumps and chemical injection systems

Dosing Systems Australasia supplies water-driven dosing pumps and chemical injectors for food and beverage processing. Our MixRite, Dosmatic and Chemilizer injectors run on the water flowing through them, with no electricity at the point of injection, and meter cleaning chemicals, sanitisers, acids and water-soluble additives in proportion to flow. That gives a consistent, repeatable dose, from a single wash-down point to larger water lines.

Accurate dosing in a processing plant controls chemical spend and keeps cleaning consistent. We help processors choose, install and maintain the right injector for each application, backed by local technical advice from our Northmead, NSW base. If you don’t see your specific application here, please reach out to us.

  • Water-driven and non-electric: powered by your existing water pressure and flow, which also cuts energy costs.
  • Proportional dosing: the dose stays constant as flow and demand change.
  • One range for: cleaning and sanitising, foam application, disinfection and water treatment.
  • Consistent dosing: repeatable chemical concentration for your cleaning program.
  • Local support: Australian supply and technical advice.

Cleaning and sanitation dosing

Cleaning and sanitising programs depend on dosing each chemical at the right strength, every time. A water-driven injector meters concentrate in proportion to flow, so the strength stays consistent without hand-measuring. MixRite and Dosmatic injectors cover small, precise doses through to high-flow applications, and AquaBlend injectors suit cleaning water pipelines, treating water and creating foam. For clean-in-place and beer line applications, see our clean-in-place page.

Foam cleaning and equipment sanitation

The HydroFoamer and HydroSprayer are portable, non-electric hose-end units, widely used to support general sanitation including on food processing equipment. The HydroFoamer lid gives a thick foam that clings for a longer soak time, and the HydroSprayer lid gives a fine mist suited to no-rinse sanitisers and covering large areas. Concentrate is mixed only as it is applied, and there is nothing to install: fill the concentrate container and connect to a water source. Our guide to choosing a portable foamer or sprayer covers the difference in more detail.

Chemical compatibility

Chemicals are dosed subject to the compatibility of the injector’s seals. AquaBlend Xtreme is designed to handle both liquid chemicals and wettable powders, with a published list of compatible cleaners that includes citric acid, phosphoric acid, peracetic acid (5% or less), hydrogen peroxide and chlorine (500 ppm or less). Chemilizer offers Silicone and Viton components for resilience against harsh chemicals. Our team will match the injector and seal material to your chemical.

Process water treatment

MixRite pumps suit water purification and disinfecting water lines, and AquaBlend injectors are designed for treating water. Chemilizer performs well at low flow rates, and its diaphragm water motor is unaffected by sand or mineral content in the water, with no need for water filtration. Always follow the chemical product label and your local water authority guidance.

Frequently asked questions

What dosing pumps are used in food and beverage processing?

Water-driven injectors such as MixRite, Dosmatic and Chemilizer are used to dose cleaning chemicals, sanitisers, acids and water-soluble additives. They run on the flow and pressure of your water supply, with no electricity at the point of injection, and dose in proportion to flow for a consistent dilution.

Do processing dosing pumps need electricity?

No. The injector is powered by the water passing through it, so a wash-down point or plant area needs only a water connection. There is no power point, battery or controller to install at the injection point, which also cuts energy costs.

Can a dosing pump handle foam cleaning in a processing plant?

Yes. The HydroFoamer and HydroSprayer are portable, non-electric hose-end units that mix concentrate as it is applied, as a clinging foam or a fine mist. They are widely used to support general sanitation, including on food processing equipment. AquaBlend injectors can also be used to create foam.

What chemicals can be dosed?

Chemicals can be dosed subject to the compatibility of the injector’s seals with the chemical. For example, AquaBlend Xtreme lists compatible cleaners including citric acid, phosphoric acid, peracetic acid (5% or less), hydrogen peroxide and chlorine (500 ppm or less), and MixRite uses Hastelloy springs and Viton seals for compatibility with a wide range of chemicals. Always follow the chemical product label.

Do I need to filter the water for a dosing pump?

Debris in the supply wears the parts that do the measuring, so a filter upstream is the simplest protection. The Twist II Clean is a self cleaning stainless steel filter that backwashes in under 20 seconds without shutting off the water. Chemilizer’s diaphragm water motor is unaffected by sand or mineral content, with no need for water filtration.

Which injector is right for my plant?

Match the injector to the job: MixRite or Dosmatic for cleaning and sanitation dosing, AquaBlend for water treatment, pipeline cleaning and foam, Chemilizer for low flow or water with sand or minerals, and the HydroFoamer or HydroSprayer for hose-end application. Contact the DSA team with your flow rate, chemical and application and we will confirm sizing.
