Product Overview

When consistency is king in your kitchen, getting your measurements spot-on is non-negotiable. Introducing the Salter WS120, a set of robust and  reliable commercial bench scales designed for the daily hustle of a professional environment. Built by Brecknell, a name synonymous with tough equipment, these scales are the perfect partner for any business where accuracy directly impacts profit and  quality, from bakeries and  delis to busy mailrooms.

These digital weighing scales are designed for practicality. The low-profile, brushed stainless steel platform is not only tough enough to handle up to 120kg, but it's also a breeze to wipe clean, helping you maintain top hygiene standards. The genius part is the separate display pod, connected by a generous 100cm cable. This means you can place a large box or mixing bowl on the platform without ever obscuring your reading, which can be mounted on a wall or bench for ultimate convenience.

Powered by either mains or batteries and  packed with user-friendly features like push-button tare and  an auto-off function, the Salter WS120 is all about making your workflow simpler and  more precise.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The separate, mountable display is brilliant for weighing oversized items.
  • Con: The 100cm display cable might be slightly restrictive in very large prep areas.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Rutland Pie Company, based in Oakham, needed to standardise the filling weight across their award-winning pie range to control costs and  ensure every customer got the same great product. Their old domestic-style scales just weren't up to the task for bulk production.

"We were seeing variations in our ingredient costs that we couldn't explain. The Salter WS120 gave us the accuracy and  capacity we needed to get a grip on our portions. It’s simple, tough, and  the team picked it up instantly."

Robert Davies – Production Manager

After implementing the new scales, they tracked a 12% reduction in ingredient wastage within the first two months, significantly improving their profit margin per pie.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable, and  level surface for the platform to ensure accurate readings.
  • Connect the display pod to the platform using the 100cm cable.
  • Decide whether to use the included mains adaptor or insert batteries for portable use.
  • If desired, use the included bracket to mount the display pod on a nearby wall or the side of a bench.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe the stainless steel platform with a damp cloth and  mild detergent. Do not submerge the unit in water.
  • Avoid dropping items onto the platform, as this can damage the sensitive load cell.
  • If using batteries, replace them when the low battery indicator appears to maintain accuracy.
  • Periodically check that the anti-slip feet are clean and  free from debris.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Digital Weighing Scales

Not sure what to look for? Choosing the right scales can make all the difference. Here’s a quick checklist to help you find the perfect fit for your business.

Check the Capacity

Think about the heaviest items you'll weigh. Buying a scale with a 120kg capacity is great for bulk goods, but might be overkill if you only weigh small items. Match the capacity to your heaviest common task.

Consider Platform Size

Will your largest mixing bowls, boxes, or containers fit comfortably on the platform? A larger platform prevents items from wobbling and  ensures a stable, accurate reading.

Power Source Matters

Do you need to move your scales around? A model with both mains and  battery power, like this one, offers the best of both worlds. For a fixed station, mains power is fine.

Readability is Key

A clear, backlit LCD screen is a must. A separate display pod is a huge bonus if you regularly weigh items that might block the view of an integrated screen.

Hygiene and  Cleaning

In any food environment, easy cleaning is vital. A removable stainless steel platform is the gold standard, as it's non-porous, durable, and  simple to sanitise.

How The 'Tare' Function Eliminates Costly Guesswork

Ever tried weighing flour in a big mixing bowl, then having to do mental maths to subtract the bowl's weight? The 'tare' function makes that a thing of the past. Think of it as hitting a reset button for your scales. You place your empty container, be it a bowl, jug, or box, onto the platform and  press the 'Tare' button. The display instantly flicks back to '0'.

From that moment on, the scales will only measure the weight of what you add *into* the container. It completely ignores the container itself. This means you get a perfect, net weight reading every single time without any calculations. For any business where precise ingredient measurement is key to controlling costs and  quality, this simple one-press feature is an absolute essential.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Artisan Bakeries

    For precisely measuring large batches of flour, sugar, and  dough to ensure product consistency every time.

  • Local Butchers

    Ideal for weighing out customer orders of meat or portioning mince and  sausages accurately.

    Perfect for weighing boxes of fresh produce or selling items like potatoes and  apples by the kilo.
