Edlund DFG160 Precision Portion Scale
£265.00(£318.00 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
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.
Frequently asked questions
Is the DFG160 suitable for a high-volume prep kitchen or portioning line?
The DFG160 is designed for bench-top portioning work at prep stations rather than continuous high-throughput portioning lines. It performs reliably in small to medium kitchens, bakeries, and catering prep operations, but sites with significantly higher portioning volumes may find a heavier-duty platform scale a better fit for their workload.
Does the scale need a dedicated power supply or any installation?
No dedicated installation is required. The unit runs from a standard mains socket via the supplied AC adapter, or from battery if socket access is limited. It is light and easy to reposition, so it can move between prep stations as needed.
How is accuracy maintained over time in a busy kitchen environment?
The DFG160 supports field calibration, which means accuracy can be checked and adjusted in-house without sending the unit away for servicing. This is a practical advantage in a working kitchen where downtime needs to be kept to a minimum.
