PCT Dispensing Guide

Premier Control Technologies (PCT) offers a range of dispensing pump technologies tailored to various accuracy needs, from everyday dosing to ultra-precise applications. The choice depends primarily on the required dispensing accuracy and application specifics.

Knowing the dispensing accuracy needed is key

Choosing the right dispensing technology depends on one key factor: how accurately you need to dispense. At PCT, we offer a complete portfolio of pumps and feedback systems designed to meet everything from everyday dosing needs to ultra-precise, high-value applications.

The table below provides the advantages various different low flow dispensing pumps offer along with any considerations which you may wish to consider:

Rotating Piston Pumps

Fenyx Valveless Piston Pump

Advantages

Exceptional accuracy (<1% even at very low volumes) - Long service life — over 100 million cycles - No valves required → continuous, high-speed dispensing - No recalibration needed.

Considerations

Cleaning cycle may be required when changing dispensing media.

Rotating Piston Pumps


Peristaltic Pumps

GM200 Mini peristaltic pump

Advantages

Only one wetted part: the tubing - Each tubing change = virtually a new pump - Certifying tubing = certifying the pump - Learn more in our 25-Step Peristaltic Guide

Considerations

Requires calibration and recalibration - 1% accuracy possible at very low volumes, but may require a specialised dispensing system rather than a standard solution.

Peristaltic Pumps


OEM Syringe Pumps

SP1 CX industrial syringe pump

Advantages

High accuracy at small dispensing volumes (1% or better) - Proven and widely adopted in laboratory and medical systems.

Considerations

Syringes may need frequent replacement - Valves can introduce reliability issues.

Micro Piston Pumps

MP Series Micro Piston Pump

Advantages

Excellent accuracy for very small volumes (1% or better) - Compact size ideal for integration into instruments.

Considerations

Typically limited to small volume applications - Valves can cause issues over time.

Feedback Systems for Ultra-High Accuracy

When precision is absolutely critical, adding a feedback system ensures every dispense is measured and controlled in real time.

Gravimetric Dispensing (Peristaltic Pump + Balances)

Radwag precision balance

Advantages

Exceptional accuracy (<1% at very low volumes) - No recalibration required - Retains all the benefits of peristaltic pumps.

Considerations

Requires a precision balance system.

Coriolis Meter + Gear Pump

CODA KG Series meter and pump

Advantages

Excellent for larger volumes with high accuracy - Real-time flow measurement and control.

Considerations

More wetted parts than peristaltic systems - May require cleaning between dispensing cycles.

CODA KG Series


Peristaltic Pump + Clamp on flow meter

Advantages

Simple, clean design with only one wetted part - Each tubing change provides a "new" pump - Certified tubing = certified pump.

Considerations

Accuracy of flow meter.

At Premier Control Technologies (PCT), we understand that the right dispensing solution is crucial for achieving your desired accuracy and efficiency. Our comprehensive range of dispensing pump technologies and feedback systems are designed to meet a wide array of applications, from everyday dosing to ultra-precise, high-value tasks.
