Central Dosing System Calculator

TCO Calculator

Hydro's Multi-washer and Tunnel Dispensing System reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by improving chemical dosing accuracy, saving water, reducing rewash, minimizing end-user down time, and eliminating costly maintenance associated with squeeze tubes. The below TCO calculator allows you to estimate the cost savings when using our systems when compared with traditional peristaltic dispensing solutions.

Rewash

Rewash occurs in a laundry when results are not achieved during the first wash. This second wash utilizes valuable water, energy, labor, and chemical resources that otherwise could be conserved. The Dositec System meters dispensed chemical amounts and alerts users to abnormal conditions more quickly. Hydro has seen laundries experience as much as a 10% reduction in rewash by combining the system with solid chemical formulations and strong operational practices.

Energy Usage
Data provided by a leading washer manufacturer suggests that a traditional washer extractor uses 0.17 to 0.22 kWh/kg load (0.08 to 0.1 kWh/lb load). Energy efficient models typically use 0.1 kWh/kg load (0.5 kWh/lb load).
