CHEMICALS & DOSING
The Big Picture
Whether it’s for on premise or industrial laundry environments, when looking for a chemical dispensing solution, it’s important to find one that not only delivers performance, but also keeps down associated costs, like maintenance and installation. Latest innovations in chemical dispensing technology are helping to ensure these competing demands are met, which is good news for chemical manufacturers and equipment users alike.
To ensure customer loyalty and secure contract turnover, accurate dispensing is essential. But a common problem with a lot of dispensing equipment is that over time the level of chemical being dispensed drops off as tubes and other parts wear out. When this happens, dilution levels become too low, making high standards of cleanliness impossible to maintain, which can result in garments coming out of the wash unclean. For chemical manufacturers this means less chemical sales, as well as decreased satisfaction from customers, who may assume the chemicals they are using aren’t doing the job. For end users, this can mean having to wash garments more than once, leading to increased labour time – or having unsatisfied customers as well.

Maintenance When it comes to costs, it’s not just the purchasing price that needs to be considered. Repairing chemical drop off within a unit or wearing out parts means maintenance and those costs can quickly add up. For example, if a peristaltic tube wears out, it may only cost £50 per call out, but multiply that by hundreds of installed units and that’s a lot of money and time required on maintenance. This is another area where huge innovations are being made in the industry. For example, with EvoClean, no routine maintenance or tube replacement is required, and as a result, chemical manufacturers aren’t faced with the associated costs.
Installation Installer’s time is money. How long it takes to install a laundry system can have a big impact on costs. Factors like whether a dispenser needs to be dismantled to be installed or whether installation supplies need to be purchased in addition to a dispenser, can have a big impact on costs. Laundry dispensers that come pre-wired from the factory save time – as there is no need to dismantle the dispenser to install it. This mean installation time is cut, saving not only time but money and lowering the total installed costs of the product.
When it comes to purchasing laundry dispensing systems, it’s important to look at the big picture. Often the purchasing price of a laundry dispensing unit is given the most focus when looking at costs, however when taking into account the above, the actual purchasing price of the equipment has a minimal impact on bottom line results when looking at the lifetime of a product. Thanks to the continued investment in innovation within the industry, state-of-the-art laundry dispensing systems are answering the industries challenges to ensure maintenance and installation costs are kept to a minimum, while guaranteeing accuracy and performance.
