Grease Dosing Unit Support
Grease Dose Premium™ Dosing Support Advice
A grease dosing unit is an innovative means of managing fat, oils and grease (FOG) buildup in commercial kitchen drains. The dosing unit will automatically dispense FOG breakdown solution into your drain, removing buildups periodically and coating your pipes, to avoid blockages.
General Guidelines
At Goodflo, we offer premium grease dosing systems as well as expert grease dosing unit support. Check out our useful guidelines below, or feel free to contact us for more information.
Our main two dosing mix options are our dry mix and our premixed premium solution. You can find dosing information below for each, alongside frequency recommendations and general guidelines as to the amount of FOG your kitchen likely generates.

General guideline for FOG discharge volume based on number of hot meals prepared in a full service restaurant kitchen with good kitchen wash up practices:
Not sure how much FOG your kitchen creates? A general guideline for FOG discharge volume based on the number of hot meals prepared in a full service restaurant kitchen with good kitchen washing up practices:
- under 50 meals per day on average = Low FOG discharge
- under 120 meals per day on average = Medium FOG discharge
- under 200 meals per day on average = High FOG discharge
The volume of fats, oils and grease (FOG), along with food solid sediment, discharge in your kitchen wastewater wash up will depend on a number of factors including:
- good kitchen practice - scraping all food waste from pots, pans and crockery into food bins before spray off
- type and range of food service - meats, grills, frying, butter, creams and sauces will produce larger volumes of FOG
- type of hot food premises - full service restaurant will produce more FOG than a take-away
