Abstract

A precision controlled variable speed pumping system for controlling the operation of one or more independently driven pump motors includes one or more valveless rotary pumps each having a reciprocating piston directly driven by an individual stepping motor and a digital control circuit for individually directing the operation of each stepping motor whereby the resultant sum output of the pumps may be utilized for mixing, blending or proportioning fluid flow.
