HEALTHCARE HYGIENE
Revolutionising healthcare on-premise laundry
Here, SEKO explains to us how switching to on-premise laundry can be a boost for healthcare facilities.
In order to keep linen, towels and uniforms washed to consistently high standards, on-premise laundries within healthcare facilities such as hospitals, care homes and rehabilitation clinics rely on automatic detergent dosing systems capable of handling heavy load demand.
Leading the market is global chemical dosing expert SEKO, which has been active in the sector for decades with a comprehensive portfolio of cutting edge on-premise laundry systems, comprising everything from single-pump units to multi-machine solutions.
Alongside a range of peristaltic, solenoid and pneumatic pump-driven equipment, SEKO has revolutionised laundry detergent injection with its venturi-powered LS100 system, which matches these systems’ dosing precision and consistency while introducing a number of invaluable new features.
A venturi is a device that uses water pressure to control flow and therefore contains no moving parts. For LS100 users, this means less wear compared to mechanical systems and hundreds of thousands of doses before they even need to consider venturi cartridge replacement. Reducing maintenance requirement in this way minimises service visits and in turn helps to cut back on downtime, keeping washers available for longer as part of a more efficient operation.
Meanwhile, LS100 injects up to 10 chemicals – from detergent and fabric softener to additives – in as many as four washers, making it perfect for on-premise laundries of every size. It’s modular, too, so operators can easily add additional units to their original system as demand increases and their laundry grows.
LS100’s user-focused design includes an intuitive 4.5” touchscreen display plus a handheld colour-coded

formula selector, making the system accessible for every user – essential in a sector where staff turnover is typically high and new recruits must learn on the job in fast-paced environments.
As well as its local control options, LS100 can be operated via the SekoBlue app, which uses Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for local and remote dosing management and data on demand. SekoBlue offers operators a portal from which they can access live and historical data on wash cycle status, chemical consumption and equipment performance at any time through their smart device, PC or laptop.
With vital information such as chemical consumption per kilo of laundry at their fingertips, managers can gain a detailed understanding of the true cost of their operation. As well as facilitating budgeting and stock control, this allows operators to identify and reduce detergent and water wastage as part of sustainable best practice.
Meanwhile, SekoBlue provides access to downloadable manuals, intelligent auto-tuning sensors and online step-by- step technical support which can facilitate installation, setup and commissioning, and reduce associated time and costs.
Documents being immediately available in digital form is not only convenient but also ensures that engineers and end users always have access to the latest versions which, when compared to physical manuals which can quickly become outdated, can prevent errors and save time during installation and operation.
As intelligent pump equipment is increasingly specified for on-premise laundry machines within hospitals, care homes and other healthcare sites, SEKO’s dedicated systems such as LS100 provide discerning operators with the ability to save time, reduce spending and take command of their processes.
