Central dosing systems: Serchem’s streamlined solution for healthcare facilities
Posted 7/03/2025
From increasing safety to reducing environmental impact, our Central Dosing Systems offer a world of benefits.
By replacing the traditional method of chemicals stored and dosed at each washer with a dedicated area for the storage and dispensing of bulk chemicals, efficiencies are significantly improved.
Our Dosing Systems are bespoke and designed with input from your team to meet your departmental requirements. Importantly, with the dosing area a considerable distance away from washers, hygiene levels are increased as maintenance work is carried out at the dosing station and not within department areas, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Naturally, the well-being of your team is always a key concern and as central storage areas can be secured, operator contact with the chemical products is minimised reducing the risk of accidents.
The likelihood of chemical spillages is also greatly reduced as the containers are bunded and in one designated area, which in turn reduces manual handling.
And central dosing is also better for our planet too. Dedicated bulk storage vessels are reusable and eliminate the need to have multiple chemical drums scattered around.
That means no more inconvenient disposing of several smaller drums which in turn cuts harm to the environment.
Here are some questions and answers for you but don’t forget our team is always at the end of the phone.

Q: What exactly is a central dosing system?
A: Our central dosing system is a smarter, safer way to manage chemicals. It dispenses cleaning agents from a single, secure location directly to washers, reducing handling and improving both efficiency and safety.
Q: How does central dosing enhance safety for healthcare staff?
A: By centralising chemical storage, we reduce the risk of spills, limit chemical exposure, and create a safer workspace. It’s all about minimising risk while maximising reliability – because your team’s safety matters.
Q: What environmental benefits does Serchem’s central dosing system offer?
A: Central dosing reduces waste by using reusable bulk containers, minimising the need for individual chemical drums. This cuts down on plastic waste and aligns with your sustainability goals.
Q: Can Serchem customise the central dosing setup for individual facilities?
A: Yes, we design each system based on your unique needs, ensuring you get a solution that fits seamlessly into your operations. From installation to maintenance, we’re here to make sure it works perfectly for you.
+ Always think cost per dose.
It’s important to check the cost of price per dose as price per litre may not always equate to economies. Our high concentration solutions go much further and cost far less in the long run to give you real savings. This also helps you meet environmental targets with less packaging and transportation.
