A method for managing a pumping device (10) suitable, in use, to supply in a periodic pulsed manner a plurality of given quantities (Q) of a given fluid (M) so as to generate a flow of said given fluid (M) presenting a first given average flow rate (PM1); the supply of each given quantity (Q) being both preceded and followed by respective first pauses (P1) in the supply of the given fluid (M) presenting a first given duration (T1); the method in question comprising at least a phase of stopping the pumping device (10) so as to introduce at least a given second pause during the supply of at least a quantity (Q) of the given fluid (M).
