Product Description
The Edlund E160 is a compact, straightforward portion control scale designed for accurate weighing during food preparation and portioning tasks. It operates in both grams and ounces, uses all solid-state electronics for consistent readings, and is built to a practical standard that suits everyday prep station use without unnecessary complexity.
In a working kitchen this scale is best suited to light-to-medium portioning duties — plating consistency, pre-portioning ingredients, or supporting front-of-house packaging and grab-and-go operations. It is not designed for high-throughput batching work, but where accurate portion control is needed at a single station without the footprint or cost of a larger unit, it performs reliably in that role. The removable stainless steel platform keeps cleaning straightforward between uses.
Day-to-day operational advantages include:
- Mains and battery operation, reducing dependency on a nearby power supply
- Automatic tare function, speeding up multi-ingredient portioning tasks
- Low battery indicator, helping avoid unexpected downtime during service
- Automatic shut-off when battery-powered, preserving battery life between shifts
- NSF certified, meeting recognised food safety standards for commercial use
The scale requires no fixed installation — it sits wherever it is needed on the prep bench. Mains operation uses the included AC adapter, or the unit runs on a 9-volt battery where a socket is not conveniently placed. There are no ventilation, water, or drainage requirements to consider.
This scale is well suited to smaller operations, bakeries, sandwich bars, and grab-and-go outlets where consistent portioning matters but volume does not demand a heavier-duty solution. Sites with more intensive batching demands or higher-volume portioning requirements would be better served by a more robust, higher-capacity model.
If you would like to talk through whether this scale is the right fit for your operation, our team is glad to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The E160 is designed for light-to-medium portioning duties at individual prep stations rather than high-throughput batching environments. If your operation involves continuous heavy-volume portioning or large batch work, a more robust scale with greater capacity would be a more appropriate choice.
- No fixed installation is required. The E160 can sit freely on any prep surface and switches between mains power via the included AC adapter and 9-volt battery operation, so it can be repositioned as your workflow demands.
- It is commonly used in bakeries, sandwich bars, grab-and-go outlets, and smaller restaurant prep areas where plating consistency and accurate ingredient portioning are important but the scale of operation does not require a heavier-duty unit.
