CLEANING CHEMICALS & DOSING EQUIPMENT Keeping the world clean
SEKO discusses with us the chemical dosing and dilution systems which are ensuring everything clean and within budget.
From hospitals to restaurants, managers responsible for cleaning and hygiene face the challenge of protecting the people in their buildings while working within tight budget limitations. Therefore, it’s essential that on-site cleaning and hygiene equipment is capable of achieving and maintaining the highest standards of performance and safety in even the most demanding environments.
This begins with surface cleaning, where chemical dispensers used for dosing concentrated and pre-mixed solutions into sinks, spray bottles, mop buckets and scrubber dryers must combine precision and consistency with robustness and longevity.
In fast-paced environments such as operating theatres and kitchens, where excessive force and accidental collisions are common, a tough, impact-resistant dispenser casing helps to ensure consistent, reliable performance while reducing the cost of maintenance, repair and replacement. It may be tempting to opt for lightweight dispensers but, while such systems are cheaper per unit, they’re also unreliable and have a short lifespan, costing more in replacements in the long run compared with higher-quality, longer-lasting equipment.
In many cleaning stations it’s common to see concentrated chemical containers such as 20L drums stored unbunded on the floor, causing a leakage or trip hazard. Worse still, staff may dose detergent and other solutions manually, exposing them to potentially harmful concentrated chemical.
Integrated chemical storage can help solve this issue, enabling operators not only to save space and make cleaning stations tidier and more presentable, but also providing vital health and safety benefits by keeping the chemicals off the floor and avoiding possible spillage and trip hazards.
Such systems typically feature a cabinet-style enclosure where various-sized chemical containers can be stored and connected to the built-in dispenser. Lockable cabinets help to prevent theft and tampering and protect employees against exposure to harsh concentrated chemical.
Managers in sectors such as healthcare and hospitality may also be responsible for their site’s on-premise laundry which, if not properly overseen, can be a source of excessive consumption and wastage of chemicals, water and energy. To avoid this, and to ensure bed linen, blankets, towels and uniforms are washed to the same high standard every time, it’s advisable to install trusted automatic chemical dosing systems which achieve accurate, consistent chemical dosing over the long term.

both cases the best systems are built with premium-grade components that offer superior chemical compatibility. This means parts are more resistant to degradation from harsh concentrated detergents, helping to deliver repeatable results and extensive equipment lifespan while reducing maintenance requirement.
The integration of Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled technology in chemical dosing equipment is allowing managers and technicians to monitor detergent consumption statistics and system status at their convenience via smart device, PC or laptop.
As well as giving operators a clear understanding of their application’s cost, this cutting-edge connectivity also helps them to identify areas where chemical is being wasted and adjust programming accordingly. Plus, technicians may be alerted to anomalies immediately, allowing them to schedule maintenance and avoid costly unplanned downtime as part of an efficient, well-run operation.
When it comes to maintaining exceptional cleaning and hygiene standards, it’s clear that a little investment can go a long way. Chemical systems expert SEKO knows this better than most as the company has been helping operators for decades with a dedicated range of dilution, dispensing and dosing equipment.
These include the modular ProMax dilution unit, which dispenses premixed cleaning solutions into spray bottles, mop buckets and scrubber dryers, and compatible systems such as the SekureMax chemical storage cabinet.
There’s also IoT-enabled equipment such as the LS100 laundry and WareDose 35 warewash systems, which give operators 24/7 access to wash data via the dedicated SekoWeb and SekoBlue apps, making the SEKO range the go-to choice for discerning professionals worldwide.
