Edlund E160 Economy Portion Control Scale

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.

If you are unsure whether this scale is the right fit for your operation, our team is happy to talk it through.
