Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Mechline GreasePak, including how biological drain dosing works, choosing a dosing module and maintaining your commercial kitchen drainage system.
What is Mechline GreasePak?
Mechline GreasePak is an automatic drain dosing system designed to help manage fats, oils and grease (FOG) in commercial kitchen drainage systems. It delivers measured amounts of biological dosing fluid into drains at programmed intervals. Regular dosing helps reduce grease build-up and unpleasant odours, supporting ongoing drain maintenance.
How does biological drain dosing work?
Biological drain dosing uses specialist biological agents to help break down fats, oils and grease in drainage systems. A GreasePak dosing module releases measured amounts of fluid at programmed times. Dosing during periods of lower water flow can give the biological treatment more time to work. This helps manage grease accumulation as part of a wider kitchen drainage maintenance programme.
What is the difference between battery and mains GreasePak dosing modules?
Battery-operated GreasePak dosing modules are useful where a suitable mains power supply isn’t available. They operate using a replaceable battery pack. Mains-powered GreasePak modules require a suitable 230V power supply but don’t need routine battery replacement. The best option depends on your installation location and available power supply.
How often should GreasePak dosing fluid be replaced?
The replacement frequency depends on the dosing settings, fluid consumption and operating requirements of your kitchen. Check the dosing fluid level regularly and follow Mechline’s maintenance guidance. Our range includes GreasePak MSGD5 biological dosing fluid in 5L containers for replenishing compatible systems.
Why is grease management important in commercial kitchens?
Fats, oils and grease can accumulate in commercial kitchen drains and contribute to blockages and unpleasant odours. Effective FOG management helps reduce drainage problems and supports responsible kitchen waste handling. Restaurants, pubs, hotels and catering kitchens should have suitable procedures for managing grease and disposing of cooking oils.
