Introduction
Not all kitchen scales are created equal. A small café in Gandhinagar has very different needs compared to a 200-cover fine-dining restaurant in Surat or a home baker in Mehsana. So how do you choose the right weighing machine for your food business?
At Shree Shree Weighing Solutions, we help businesses across Gujarat find the perfect kitchen weighing solution — based on use case, budget, and space. Here's how you can make the right decision.
🧾 1. Determine the Required Capacity
Ask yourself:
Are you measuring spices (under 1kg)?
Vegetables/meats (5–10kg)?
Or bulk flour/dough (10–30kg)?
Choose a scale that can comfortably handle your maximum daily weight, ideally 20% higher than usual use.
🧪 2. Choose the Right Readability (Precision)
For example:
Spices/desserts: 0.1g or 0.5g readability
Bakery/flour: 1g readability
Meat, veggies, or bulk items: 1–2g readability is sufficient
Too much precision may increase cost unnecessarily; too little leads to inaccuracy and waste.
📐 3. Size and Space Consideration
Choose compact countertop models for cloud kitchens or portable carts. For large kitchens, opt for stainless steel body scales with bigger platforms.
💦 4. Waterproofing and Hygiene
In Indian kitchens, oil, steam, water, and flour dust are part of daily life. Our splash-proof and oil-resistant digital scales are designed to survive these conditions.
📲 5. Digital Features
Look for:
Tare function
Auto-zero
Low battery indicators
LED display
Rechargeable battery option (ideal during power cuts)
Our food-grade models include internal battery + direct plug-in use, making them suitable for remote kitchens or food trucks.
📜 6. Legal Metrology and NABL Certification
If you sell packaged food by weight (like mithai, dry fruits, chocolates), the law requires your weighing machine to be certified and stamped by Legal Metrology.
We provide compliance, stamping, and calibration services all over Gujarat.
