Laundromats & Self-Service Laundry · Australia-wide

Laundromat Chemical Dosing Systems

Automatic chemical dosing turns a self-service laundromat into a consistent, low-maintenance and higher-margin operation. We supply and install detergent, softener and sanitiser dosing systems that inject the right chemistry into every wash.

Precision Flow Solutions supplies and installs detergent, softener and sanitiser dosing systems that inject the right chemistry into every wash, so your customers never measure or carry product and every load comes out clean. We work with laundromats across Australia from our Northmead base in Sydney.

Whether you run an unattended 24/7 card and app site, an attended store, a wash, dry and fold service, or a communal laundry in an apartment block or retirement village, we match a dosing system to your machines and throughput. Most existing commercial washers can be retrofitted without replacing the machine.

Why Laundromats Are Switching to Automatic Dosing

The single biggest driver of customer complaints in self-service laundry is inconsistent results from too little or too much detergent. Automatic dosing removes that variable and adds a margin at the same time.

  • Consistent wash quality: Every load is dosed correctly, so customers get clean results without guessing.
  • Detergent built into the wash price: Chemical becomes a controlled cost and a point of difference against bring-your-own sites.
  • Lower chemical cost: Accurate metering stops overdosing and reduces spend across a busy site.
  • Cleaner store: No detergent spills, no abandoned bottles, concentrate stored safely away from customers.
  • Reducing customer touch points: Ideal for unattended and 24/7 operations.
  • A modern customer experience: Load, pay, start, with nothing to buy or measure.

Where Automatic Dosing Saves You Money

Automatic dosing is usually sold on wash quality, but the stronger case is commercial. Chemical is one of the few costs in a laundromat you can control directly, and most of the saving comes from removing guesswork rather than buying cheaper product.

Fewer dosing errors

Manual dosing depends on whoever is standing at the machine. Too much wastes concentrate and can leave residue on linen; too little means the load is rewashed. Automatic dosing removes the variable, so you stop paying for both.

Chemical used to spec

Every cycle draws the same measured amount, so there is no over-pouring and no adding a bit extra to be safe. Chemical spend tracks your wash volume instead of drifting upward.

Detergent becomes margin

With dosing built into the machine, chemical moves from a cost you absorb to a margin built into the price of the wash — and customers no longer bring their own.

Less rework and fewer complaints

Consistent results mean fewer rewashes, fewer refunds and fewer unhappy customers. These are the costs that never appear on a chemical invoice but come straight off the bottom line.

Lower labour per load

No measuring, decanting or batch mixing at each machine. Staff time goes back to the customer, and unattended sites keep running without anyone on the floor.

Predictable cost per wash

Once the dose is set, your chemical cost per cycle is a known number you can build into pricing and forecast against, rather than an estimate that moves with each shift.

How Laundromat Dosing Works

A dosing system connects to each washer and meters preset amounts of chemistry into the machine at the correct point in the cycle. The process is automatic and needs no customer involvement.

1

The washer signals the dispenser at the start of the relevant cycle stage.

2

The dispenser meters the correct amount of detergent, softener or sanitiser.

3

The chemistry is injected into the machine and the wash proceeds.

4

The customer simply loads, pays and starts, with no product to handle.

What Gets Dosed

  • Detergent for the main wash.
  • Fabric softener for finish and feel.
  • Sanitiser or disinfectant where hygiene matters, such as healthcare or aged care linen.
  • Destainer or oxygen bleach as an optional additional product.

Retrofit to Your Existing Machines

You do not need new washers to add automatic dosing. Most commercial and many self-service machines can have a dosing system fitted, so you can upgrade your current site without the cost of replacing equipment. We assess your machines and recommend the right system for your layout and throughput.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a laundromat dosing system?

A laundromat dosing system is equipment that automatically injects the correct amount of detergent, softener and sanitiser into each washing machine on every cycle. It removes the need for customers to bring or measure detergent and delivers consistent results across a self-service site.

Can I add automatic dosing to my existing laundromat machines?

In most cases, yes. Automatic dosing can be retrofitted to most commercial and many self-service washers, so you can upgrade your current site without replacing machines. We assess your equipment and recommend a system that fits your layout and throughput.

Do customers still bring their own detergent with automatic dosing?

No. Once a dosing system is installed, the correct chemistry is dispensed for every wash, so customers do not need to bring or buy detergent. Operators usually build the cost of chemical into the price of the wash, which adds margin and keeps the store tidy.

Which dosing system is best for an unattended 24/7 laundromat?

Unattended sites are best served by a reliable, low-maintenance system that runs without staff. Venturi-based dispensers such as Hydro Systems EvoClean suit these sites because they dose accurately without peristaltic squeeze tubes that wear out, which keeps downtime and callouts to a minimum.

Can dosing systems handle multiple products like softener and sanitiser?

Yes. Multi-product dosing systems can meter detergent, softener, sanitiser and optional additives such as destainer, each at its own rate and cycle stage. The number of products depends on the dispenser and the needs of your site.

How much does automatic dosing cost for a laundromat?

The cost depends on the number of machines, the products dosed and whether the system is new or retrofitted. The investment is typically offset by reduced chemical waste and by building detergent into the wash price. Contact us for a quote based on your site.
