CLJ30S electronic scale with stand

An electronic scale measures weight by converting the force of an object into an electrical signal. A load cell beneath the platform flexes under the weight, changing its electrical resistance. This change is processed by the scale's circuitry and displayed as a precise reading on the LCD screen. The method eliminates guesswork, ensuring consistent portioning and accurate ingredient measurement in professional kitchens.

The CLJ 30 kg scale is used by placing the item to be weighed on the stainless steel platform. The LCD display activates automatically, showing the weight in kilograms or grams, depending on the selected readability setting. The scale powers on instantly when an item is placed on it, eliminating the need for manual activation. The stand elevates the platform to a comfortable working height, reducing strain during repetitive weighing tasks. The unit remains stable on the worktop, preventing accidental tipping or shifting.

The scale is constructed with a stainless steel weighing platform, chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion in a kitchen environment. The stand is made of painted steel, providing a sturdy base. The LCD display is mounted at an angle for easy reading, even when the scale is positioned against a wall or under a shelf.

Controls are minimal and intuitive. A single button or switch, depending on the model, toggles between the 5 g and 10 g readability settings. This allows the operator to choose the level of precision required for the task, whether measuring small quantities of spices or larger batches of ingredients.

The 30 kg maximum weight capacity allows the scale to handle bulk ingredients, large cuts of meat, or multiple items at once. The 220 V power requirement means the scale plugs into a standard UK electrical outlet, drawing minimal current. The 20 kg weight of the unit ensures it remains stable during use but can still be moved when necessary. The compact footprint of 408 x 493 mm for the platform and 380 x 244 mm for the stand base fits neatly on a worktop without occupying excessive space.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel platform with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove food residue or spills. The LCD display and controls should be kept dry to prevent damage to the electronics. The painted steel stand can be wiped down with a damp cloth to maintain its appearance. Regular calibration checks, using a known weight, ensure the scale remains accurate over time.

The scale is available with a stand as part of the CLJ30S article, providing an all-in-one weighing solution for professional kitchens. It is categorised under precision measurement equipment in the BHS catalogue.
