SLW15 Weighing Scale for Professional Kitchens

A weighing scale measures mass by balancing the force of gravity against a calibrated spring or electronic load cell. In professional kitchens, this precision allows exact portioning of ingredients, consistent recipe yields and compliance with food safety standards. The SLW15 from BHS uses an electronic load cell that converts weight into an electrical signal, displayed digitally for immediate reading without manual calculation or guesswork.

To operate the scale, place it on a level, stable worktop away from draughts and heat sources. Switch it on and wait for the display to zero. Place the container on the platform and press the tare button to subtract its weight. Add the ingredient until the display shows the required mass. The scale holds the reading until the next measurement or until it is switched off, allowing the operator to work without haste.

The SLW15 is constructed with a stainless steel platform that resists corrosion from moisture and cleaning agents. The housing is plastic, chosen for its light weight and resistance to impact. The display is a backlit LCD screen that remains visible under kitchen lighting.

The 15 kg maximum capacity allows the scale to weigh large batches of ingredients in a single operation, reducing the number of measurements needed. The 2/5 g readability means the scale can distinguish between 2 g and 5 g increments, giving the precision required for small quantities of spices, additives or portion-controlled items.

Cleaning involves wiping the platform with a damp cloth and mild detergent after each use. The housing can be cleaned with the same solution, avoiding abrasive pads that could scratch the surface. The scale should be stored in a dry cupboard when not in use to protect the electronics from moisture.

The SLW15 is categorised under professional weighing equipment in the BHS catalogue.
