Product Description
The Brecknell 405-LCD is a general-purpose electronic bench scale with a 15kg capacity, designed for food preparation environments where consistent portion control is part of daily workflow. It uses a stainless steel weighing platter, a backlit LCD display, and supports multiple units of measurement — making it straightforward to use across different prep tasks without reconfiguration.
In a working kitchen, the most practical feature is the 100% subtractive tare. This allows operators to zero out the weight of a container or previous ingredient instantly, loading multiple components into a single vessel without losing count. At a 2g resolution across the full 15kg range, it is accurate enough for the majority of recipe and portion control applications in a busy prep kitchen. The display is clear and readable under typical kitchen lighting conditions.
Key practical advantages for day-to-day use include:
- Removable stainless steel platter for straightforward cleaning and sanitising
- Selectable units (kg, g, lb, oz, lb/oz) to suit different recipes and suppliers
- ABS plastic base construction that resists moisture ingress during normal use
- Backlit display readable in varying light conditions across prep and service areas
This is a mains or battery-operated bench scale — no plumbing or fixed electrical installation is required, though it is worth confirming power source compatibility before ordering. At 5kg the unit is light enough to move between prep stations as needed. It is not designed for heavy industrial throughput or legal-for-trade verified weighing applications, so operators with compliance requirements for trade use should clarify this before purchasing.
The 405-LCD suits catering operations, central production kitchens, and food prep areas where reliable everyday portioning is the primary requirement. It is a practical choice for smaller operations or as a secondary prep scale. For sites needing higher capacity or trade-approved weighing, alternatives are available within the range.
If you are unsure whether this scale suits your specific prep volume or compliance requirements, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The Brecknell 405-LCD is a general-purpose portioning scale and is not certified for legal-for-trade use. If your operation requires verified weighing for selling by weight or regulatory compliance, you will need a scale with the appropriate trade approval — it is worth checking this requirement before purchasing.
- The 405-LCD is built for daily general-purpose use in food prep environments. The ABS base offers reasonable moisture resistance, and the stainless steel platter is straightforward to keep clean. It is well suited to portioning, recipe work, and ingredient control, though it is not intended for the kind of constant heavy-duty throughput you would expect from a higher-specification industrial scale.
- No fixed installation is required — the 405-LCD operates from a standard mains supply or battery power, making it easy to position wherever it is needed in the kitchen. There are no plumbing, ventilation, or electrical installation prerequisites to consider.
