precision batching & blending solutions
ACCURATE FLOW MEASUREMENT FOR CONSISTENCY & CONTROL
In industries where precision is critical, FLOMEC® flow meters deliver reliable, repeatable measurements that keep your batching and blending operations on track. Whether you are manufacturing products or dispensing fluids, these meters ensure consistent quality and quantity by delivering precise measurements every time. With durable construction and proven performance in demanding applications, our meters provide precise, repeatable measurements—batch after batch, blend after blend.
BATCHING
Batching is the precise addition of individual fluids into a final mixture, with each fluid dispensed at its own rate. Unlike blending, where fluids are combined simultaneously, batching focuses on volume accuracy for each component to achieve the correct overall mixture.
To ensure accuracy, batching systems must control the volume of each fluid independently, regardless of how fast the other fluids are moving. This makes flow measurement a critical component in batching applications.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT FLOW METER FOR BATCHING
The performance of your batching system depends heavily on how fluid velocity behaves during the process. Here's how to determine which flow meter technology is best suited:
- When velocity changes are significant (longer start-up/shutoff times):
Use a Positive Displacement (PD) meter, such as an Oval Gear meter. These meters excel at capturing accurate volume even during flow fluctuations. - When velocity changes are minimal (brief start-up/shutoff times):
You can use either a Positive Displacement meter or a Velocity-type meter like an Ultrasonic or Turbine meter, as flow is mostly steady during the batch.
BLENDING
Blending is the simultaneous mixing of two or more fluids by precisely controlling their individual flow rates to achieve a desired ratio. Unlike batching, where fluids are added one at a time, blending relies on real-time control of fluid velocities to create a continuous, consistent solution.
In a blending setup, each fluid must be measured and adjusted independently to maintain the correct proportions throughout the process.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT FLOW METER FOR BLENDING
It’s important to distinguish between controlling the blend ratio and measuring the total solution volume—these functions may require different flow meter technologies.
- Flow Control: To ensure each fluid enters the blend at the correct rate, use meters that offer fast response time and precise flow rate control. Technologies such as Paddlewheel or Turbine meters are commonly used here due to their real-time measurement capabilities and compatibility with control systems.
- Total Volume Monitoring: To track the overall amount of blended solution produced, a Positive Displacement (PD) meter—like an Oval Gear meter—may be better suited. These meters provide highly accurate total volume measurements, especially useful for final batch validation.

The cable we bought, it was the perfect cable for our application. We were having issues with out bag in a box filler, and once we replace the cable, everything started working very well. The transaction was very simple to buy the cable online, and the time to get it at our facility, it was very reasonable.
The replacement I needed for my customer. Quick shipping and excellent tech support.
The process of ordering and receiving the meter was seamless. Easy ordering and fast shipping. Great Company.
FLOMEC Q9 Retrofit / Replacement Display for G2 Series Flow Meters
I was advised of the correct product that I needed. Shipping was quick and staff was very helpful
Had application questions while looking at their site. Ford the customer service number called and got a real person he knew his stuff told me what products to get and I bought them right off the website and got them fast!! Super happy with the service and product. Definitely will be recommending them to anyone who asks.
Works great ~ ordering another!
Recently order a 1" flow sensor for a customer, it arrived quickly & the customer was happy .
Rotor kit was an exact replacement and easy to install with the included directions
Very good product works as it should and uses common batterys Thank you
Good support, and fast shipping
Makes life easy and takes the guessing or looking at the side of the tank wondering how much is in there. Works great for low volume per acre applications (2gpa).
If you require assistance replacing the turbine rotor assembly in your FLOMEC G2 metal body meter, you have arrived at the appropriate destination. These assemblies are truly remarkable.
This item fit perfect, works better and very user friendly
Great fast service.
