Value. User-friendly designs. Precision accuracy. That’s what you’ll find in Escali scales. Escali offers a wide range of professional and consumer digital scales that are shaping the future of scales in the food service industry and beyond. With its commitment to excellence and value, it’s no wonder why Escali’s products are globally recognized.

The scales themselves will enable you to make a healthy meal, the perfect baked goods, or determine food costs in no time, due to their accuracy and ease of use.  Not to mention, Escali scales are backed by a quality warranty, in addition to already being priced around 20% lower than competitors, giving them an extra leg up on the competition.

Each scale is tested by rigid military standards, so only the highest quality materials will do.  Designed with both functionality and value in mind, scales come equipped with an auto-shut off function to help preserve battery life and lower costs—first set of batteries included!  No matter your needs, there is an Escali scale fit for almost any application.

Professional Scales

Primo NSF: Escali’s top selling scale, the Primo is affordable and compact. Its two-button operation is very easy to use making it an economical and all around great choice for day to day use.  It measures up to 11 lbs in .1 ounce or 1 gram increments and has a full 2 year warranty.

Alimento NSF: This scale is a compact workhorse. Its durable design and highly accurate sensors make it perfect for a busy professional kitchen.  Not to mention, its big display, easy touch buttons, and removable stainless steel platform allow you to read and keep it clean in a hurry.  Measures up to 13 lbs in .1 ounce or 1 gram increments.

M-Series NSF: The M-Series scale has an extra large platform making it adaptable to a variety of uses. From portion control to accurate quality control, it’s a master in intense work environments.  Measuring up to 66 lbs in .2 ounce increments, this is the all-around scale for the bigger stuff.

Escali Granda-in-use1

Granda: Granda is a practical and portable industrial scale. Its 11.5” x 11” platform and wired remote display make it a great choice for warehousing, mailing, or similar purposes.  Plus, it can measure up to 220 lbs in 2 ounce increments.

Mercado: The Mercado is a non-digital dial scale, with a clear read out and durable metal frame. The stainless steel bowl makes it a breeze to transfer ingredients from scale to prep station and it’s more accurate than ever.  Measures up to 11 lbs in 1 ounce or 20 gram increments.

Nova: Like the Primo, this scale is compact and portable.  Measuring up to 2 lbs in .05 ounce or .5 gram increments, it’s great for those small, but precise measurements.

Consumer Scales

Arti: The Arti has a sleek and modern design that features a large, crisp and clear display on a smooth glass surface.  This, combined with its user friendly touch sensitive controls, makes it the new standard for consumer kitchen scales.  Even celebrity chef Alton Brown uses and recommends this one!  Measures up to 15 lbs in .1 ounce or 1 gram increments.

Pico: This pocket scale is small, yet mighty. It is hand-held, yet ultra-sensitive and its size makes for easy storage and saves valuable space. It measures up to 500 grams in .1 gram or .0005 ounce increments, a graduation that’s hard to come by in a consumer scale.  Plus its counting feature is helpful for counting large quantities of small items with great accuracy.

Part of the ease of use of Escali scales is the easy to read notifications that display when something isn’t quite right.  If you see “LO” on a scale’s display, it simply has a low battery.  “E” or “EEEE” means there has been an error, try again. “OV” on a scale’s display, means too much force has been placed on the scale and it has been overloaded.  No scale is meant to weigh everything, so it is recommended to use the appropriate model for your needs to avoid damage.

Luckily though, Escali has a flexible and efficient return/replacement policy, so there is no need to worry if your scale isn’t working quite right.  Things happen and Escali understands that.  They tip the scale in the customer’s favor to ensure that you receive a quality, accurate, and all-around great product that is a perfect fit for all your measuring needs.  What will you measure next?
