What Volumetric Dosing Units suppliers provide

Suppliers in this category build dosing units that measure product by displaced volume rather than weight, using pistons, rotary valves, or metering pumps to deliver a fixed quantity per cycle. These units fill containers, add ingredients, or meter additives with repeatable accuracy, and are common in food, beverage, chemical, and cosmetics production lines. Core competence lies in dosing accuracy, cycle speed, and compatibility with the product’s viscosity and hygiene requirements. Many suppliers also integrate dosing units into complete filling or packaging lines and offer changeover parts for different container or product formats. Volumetric dosing differs from auger dosing systems, which meter dry or granular products by screw rotation rather than displaced volume. In the pre-selection phase, compare accuracy tolerances, product range, and hygienic design against your specific application.

Relevant standards

Volumetric dosing units are typically designed to meet EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC safety requirements, and, for food and beverage applications, hygienic design guidelines published by EHEDG. Supplier quality management is commonly certified to ISO 9001.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between volumetric dosing and auger dosing?
Volumetric dosing units meter liquid or semi-liquid product by displaced volume, while auger dosing systems meter dry or granular product using a rotating screw; the choice depends on whether the product flows or behaves as a free-flowing solid.
