The best way would be to pulse the gate with a redstone signal. Have whatever needs the item pulse the gate. I've used turtles as a method to control auto crafting via redstone signals.
if understand correctly you want to have gate output 1 item/redstone pulse.
you can try iron autarchic and gate set to pulse on redstone signal and when pipe is empty.
