Choosing a Doran scale

• Wet processing and daily washdown: a 7000XL in the capacity closest to your heaviest batch.
• Portioning on a prep line: a PC-400 for a small footprint and quick tare.
• Bulk ingredients or cases: the 74100/15 bench scale, or the DS6150 when the indicator needs to sit away from the platform.
