What Is Auto-Dosing And What Are The Benefits?

What Is Auto-Dosing?

Auto-dosing is a system that can be fitted onto commercial washing machines which automatically takes and uses the required amount of detergent needed to perform the programme set. This is done by a dosage pump that will dispense liquids into the machines as and when they are required. This ensures that the laundry receives the optimal amount of cleaning agents, resulting in thorough cleaning and stain removal. 

Auto-Dosing pumps can be used across multiple products such as bio detergent, fabric conditions, stain removers, and emulsifiers. By selecting and using the right level of detergents, you can improve the look, feel, and lifespan of your laundry, linen, and industrial washing machines. 

The Benefits of Auto-Dosing

There are a number of benefits to installing an auto-dosing system for your machines:

•    Eliminates human error
•    Fewer machine breakdowns caused by blockages of excess detergent
•    Cuts down on wastage, no more overloading or underloading the incorrect quantity of detergents. 
•    Reduces machine setup time
•    No spillage
•    No risk of mishap with staffing having direct contact with potentially hazardous substances
•    Keeps colours bright and fabrics lasting longer by using the correct amount of detergent needed.

Our experts will install your system and provide thorough training for your staff, ensuring everything runs smoothly. 

Cost and Energy Savings

Using laundry auto-dosing systems can bring your business significant costs and energy savings. By accurately measuring and dispensing the correct amount of laundry chemicals, these systems help minimise wastage and reduce chemical consumption.

With manual dosing, there is a tendency to use more detergent and fabric conditioner than necessary, leading to unnecessary expenses. Laundry dosing systems eliminate this wasteful practice and ensure that only the required amount of chemicals is used for each load of laundry. 

Additionally, laundry auto dosing systems can contribute to energy savings. By optimising the dosage and ensuring efficient cleaning performance, these systems help reduce the need for rewashing or redosing, saving both water and electricity. This not only reduces utility costs but also supports sustainable and environmentally friendly laundry practices.
