Edlund

The Edlund RM1000 is a mechanical portion control scale built for accurate, repeatable weighing in commercial food preparation. It operates entirely without batteries or mains power, relying on a calibrated internal spring mechanism to deliver consistent readings. The all-stainless construction — platform, housing, and internal springs — makes it a practical choice for wet prep areas and high-hygiene environments where moisture exposure is routine.

In a working kitchen, portion accuracy has a direct bearing on food cost control and plate consistency. A scale of this type earns its place at prep stations handling sandwich fillings, charcuterie, pastry ingredients, or smaller protein portions where 5g graduations provide the precision needed. The absence of electronics is a genuine operational advantage — no display failures mid-service, no batteries running flat, and no recalibration prompts breaking the workflow.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• No power source required — ready to use at any prep station immediately
• Fully submersible construction supports straightforward end-of-day cleaning
• Stainless steel springs and mechanism resist corrosion in damp prep environments
• Wide-angle dial keeps readings visible from different positions on the bench
• NSF certified, meeting recognised commercial food safety standards

There are no installation requirements. This is a standalone bench-top item with no fixings, plumbing, or power connections. The 1kg maximum capacity is well suited to fine portion work, but it is worth being clear about its limits: operations that regularly weigh larger cuts of meat, bulk dry goods, or full fish portions will need a higher-capacity model. This scale is designed for precision at the lighter end of the portioning range, not bulk weighing tasks.

The RM1000 is a sensible choice for sandwich bars, hotel and care catering kitchens, deli counters, and any prep environment where consistent small-portion accuracy matters and simplicity is valued over digital functionality. If you are unsure whether the capacity and graduation suit your specific workflow, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Edlund DFG160 is a compact digital portion scale built for daily use at commercial prep stations. It weighs in both grams and ounces, features a removable stainless steel platform, and carries NSF certification confirming it meets hygiene standards for regulated food service environments. Operation is straightforward — the unit runs from a mains AC adapter or from battery, which gives useful flexibility when bench socket access is limited.

Consistent portioning sits at the heart of recipe accuracy and food cost control, and a scale earns its place on a prep bench by being fast, reliable, and easy to keep clean. The DFG160 responds promptly, tares at the push of a button, and keeps prep workflows moving without interruption. Field calibration means long-term accuracy can be maintained in-house without sending the unit away for service.

Key practical advantages for a working kitchen include:

• Instant push-button tare keeps portioning workflows moving between ingredients
• Gram and ounce switching accommodates both metric and imperial recipe formats
• Removable stainless platform cleans down quickly between tasks and at end of service
• Battery mode allows untethered bench placement away from fixed sockets
• Field calibration supports ongoing accuracy without off-site servicing

There are no installation requirements beyond access to a standard mains socket for wired operation. The unit is light and straightforward to reposition, which suits kitchens where the scale moves between tasks or stations. It is worth being clear that this is a bench-top prep scale — well suited to daily portioning work, but not designed for continuous high-throughput portioning lines where a heavier-duty platform scale would be the more appropriate choice.

The DFG160 is well suited to small and medium kitchens, bakeries, deli counters, and catering prep operations where portion accuracy is a daily requirement and bench space is tight. Operations running significantly higher portioning volumes may find a larger-capacity model better matched to their throughput.

If you are unsure whether this scale is the right fit for your prep setup and portioning demands, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Edlund KR-700 is a wall-mounted knife rack designed to keep a working set of blades organised, accessible, and safely stored throughout a busy service. It holds eight chef's knives in individual V-slot positions, with additional capacity for smaller knives, a sharpening steel, and scissors — giving a prep team a consistent, dedicated home for their tools without taking up counter or drawer space.

The V-slot design is what makes this unit worth considering over simpler magnetic strips or flat slot racks. Each knife sits independently, so blades do not rest against one another during storage. This protects cutting edges and reduces the gradual wear that accumulates when knives are stored loosely or in contact. A protective skirt around the blade area also reduces the risk of accidental contact when reaching for a knife quickly during service — a straightforward safety consideration in any active prep environment.

Routine sanitation is well catered for. The insert is removable and dishwasher safe, so cleaning it fits into normal end-of-service workflow rather than requiring a separate process. The stainless steel back plate resists corrosion and will not affect knife edges over time. The unit carries NSF certification, which satisfies most commercial food service hygiene requirements without any additional justification needed for inspectors.

• Individual V-slots prevent blade-to-blade contact during storage
• Protective skirt reduces accidental contact when retrieving knives at speed
• Removable insert is dishwasher safe for straightforward, compliant cleaning
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in humid kitchen environments
• NSF certified for commercial food service use

The KR-700 suits most kitchen sizes and is a practical choice wherever wall space is available and counter space is limited. In larger brigade operations running separate sections, it is worth considering whether one unit covers the full working set or whether additional racks would better serve the layout and keep tools close to where each section operates.

If you would like to talk through how this fits your prep area or whether it suits your team's working arrangement, we are happy to help you think it through.

The Edlund KR-698 is a wall-mounted open knife rack designed for professional kitchen use. It holds eight chef's knives in individual slots, with additional positions for smaller knives, a sharpening steel, and scissors. The open-slot design means staff can see at a glance exactly which knives are present and which are missing — a practical detail that matters during a busy service when knives have a habit of wandering.

In a working kitchen, knife storage is as much a safety concern as an organisational one. A rack like this keeps blades off worksurfaces and out of drawers, reducing the risk of cuts during mise en place and making it easier to enforce a consistent put-back routine. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in a humid kitchen environment, and the insert is dishwasher safe, which simplifies end-of-service cleaning without risk of dulling the knife edges.

• Open-slot design makes missing knives immediately visible during service
• Dishwasher-safe insert simplifies daily cleaning routines
• NSF certified — suitable for regulated commercial kitchen environments
• Keeps knives off worksurfaces, reducing handling injuries during prep
• Stainless steel construction holds up in humid kitchen conditions

The KR-698 is wall-mounted, so installation requires a suitable solid surface and appropriate fixings — worth confirming before ordering if your kitchen walls are tiled or clad. It is sized for a standard brigade's knife kit rather than very large collections; kitchens with extensive specialist knife sets may find they need a second unit or a higher-capacity alternative.

This rack suits most professional kitchens where knife organisation and hygiene compliance are priorities — from small independent restaurants to contract catering operations. If you are fitting out a new kitchen or reviewing your knife storage, the team are happy to help you think through what works for your layout.

The Edlund 270 is an electric can opener built for commercial kitchens where canned goods are a regular part of daily preparation. It runs on a two-speed motor with stainless steel construction throughout, and is designed to handle consistent, repetitive use across a full prep shift without performance decline.

In busy prep environments, reliability under heavy daily use is what matters. The higher speed works efficiently through large cans, while the slower setting reduces spillage on smaller or fuller cans — a practical consideration where product waste and mess on the prep section add up quickly. NSF certification confirms the unit meets recognised commercial food safety standards.

Several features make it a practical fit for professional kitchen use:

• Knife and gear assemblies remove without tools for fast daily cleaning
• Gear and shield design limits splash-back entering the mechanism
• Two-speed motor reduces spillage on smaller or fuller cans
• Stainless steel construction handles sustained daily workload
• NSF certified for commercial food safety compliance

The unit is countertop-mounted and requires a standard mains connection. It needs a stable surface with adequate clearance above and to the side to accommodate cans of varying heights. Positioning it with easy access for daily cleaning is worth factoring into where it sits on the prep section.

The 270 is well suited to central production kitchens, contract catering operations, hospital catering, and busy pub or restaurant kitchens where can usage is consistently high. For sites with lighter throughput, a manual opener or lower-duty electric model may be a more proportionate choice. For operations with exceptionally high daily volumes, a heavier-duty unit would be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this model fits your prep volumes or working environment, our team is happy to talk it through.

The Edlund #1 is a bench-mounted manual can opener with a long-standing presence in professional kitchens. It clamps to a worktop or shelf edge and opens standard commercial cans cleanly and consistently, with no power supply or mechanical complexity required.

In practice, it performs well in kitchens where canned goods make up a regular part of daily prep — stocks, tinned tomatoes, pulses, fruit, and similar. The action is smooth, and a plastic bushing reduces the turning effort required, which is a genuine consideration when the opener is being used repeatedly across an extended prep shift. The rust-resistant arbour is a sensible feature in the wet, humid conditions common to commercial kitchens, where corrosion on metal fittings is a real operational concern.

• Reversible blades extend service life and reduce replacement frequency
• Rust-resistant arbour suited to damp prep environments
• Reduced turning force eases repeated use during long prep sessions
• Bench-mount design requires no power supply or installation works
• Plated base construction supports durability under daily commercial use

This model is well suited to small and medium kitchens, café operations, and secondary prep areas where can volumes are moderate. Sites with significantly higher daily throughput — contract catering operations or high-volume production kitchens — may find a heavier-duty manual or electric model a more practical fit for the workload.

If you are working through what best suits your prep volumes or kitchen setup, we are happy to help you think it through.

The Edlund E160 is a compact, no-frills portion control scale built for accurate weighing at the prep station. It reads in both grams and ounces, uses solid-state electronics for consistent results, and is designed to handle the everyday portioning tasks that keep a kitchen running smoothly — without the footprint or cost of a more heavy-duty unit.

In practice, this scale is well suited to light-to-medium portioning duties: plating consistency, pre-portioning ingredients before service, or supporting front-of-house packaging and grab-and-go operations. It is not intended for high-throughput batching work, but where a single station needs reliable portion accuracy without complexity, it does the job quietly and dependably. The removable stainless steel platform keeps cleaning between uses straightforward.

Day-to-day operational advantages include:

• Mains and battery operation, reducing dependency on a nearby power point
• Automatic tare function, speeding up multi-ingredient portioning tasks
• Low battery indicator, helping avoid unexpected downtime mid-service
• Automatic shut-off when battery-powered, preserving charge between shifts
• NSF certified, meeting recognised food safety standards for commercial use

There is no fixed installation to consider — the scale sits wherever it is needed on the bench. Mains operation uses the included AC adapter; alternatively it runs on a 9-volt battery where a socket is not conveniently placed. No ventilation, water, or drainage requirements apply.

This scale is a practical choice for smaller operations, bakeries, sandwich bars, and grab-and-go outlets where consistent portioning matters but volume does not demand something more substantial. Sites with heavier batching demands or higher-volume portioning requirements would be better served by a more robust, higher-capacity model.
