Profile of Involvement                                                                                            

Manu Electronics is a major manufacturer & supplier of flowmetering equipment used for the measurement and dispensing of construction chemical admixtures in the South East Asian / Australia & Pacific regions.

Other markets include South America and the Middle-East. The four major chemical admixture producers use our equipment in some form in various country locations worldwide.

Our equipment has been used in admix  production plants, admix distribution networks (mobile tankers), final dispensing of admixtures at pre-mix concrete production plants, and onsite at construction projects worldwide since 1965.

To date, measuring day after day worldwide, there are over 17,000 of our Admixture Flowmeters, 10,000 batch controllers and 1,000 various interface cards used in Computer/PLC controlled Batch Plants. On admix delivery tankers and admix production plants, over 200 of our Magmaster Electromagnetic flowmeters are in use.  On continuous dosing applications, over 300 of our Flowrate/total indicators are used. And many more and varied applications use our products - thousands of Premix Concrete Plants, Block Plants, Tile Plants, Quarries, and Production plants have Manu Electronics equipment installed for their liquid measurement requirements.

The 6-channel ME2000 is a popular option for interfacing flow meters to the PLC/Computer Controlled Batch Systems in concrete plants. The new ME2008 has up to 8 channels.

ME2008 Microprocessor interface controller card-controls upto 8 admix flowmeters. ME2008 1.1 MB
The most advanced safety features for admixture flowmetering interface to PLC/Computer control systems. 
  • Full management safety system with inventory totals. 
  • Wide range of I/O configurations. 
  • All LCD displays read in Litres to 3 decimal places. 
  • Interfaces to most known PLC I/Os. 

The advanced features of this product eliminate the requirement for bottle type dispensing systems, and is quicker than weighing systems as the system is direct feed. Programmable pulse scaling allows calibration and use with almost any pulse output flowmeter e.g. MES range. 
For EAGLE/JONEL/ALCON or other computer/PLC systems.
