Commercial General Preparation Equipment in Toronto & Canada

Round out your kitchen's back-of-house with Phoenix Food Equipment's General Preparation collection, built for the everyday tasks that keep a commercial kitchen accurate and moving. Our portioning scales, bench scales, and price computing scales weigh everything from a single portion to a full case, with most of the lineup coming from Kilotech, a brand built specifically for foodservice weighing. Winco fills out the scale selection, along with can openers and impulse bag sealers for sealing bags of prepped ingredients. For longer-term storage, shop chamber vacuum sealers and vacuum packaging machines from Globe and Berkel, built to pull a deep vacuum on everything from raw proteins to sous vide bags. Spice grinders round out the lineup for kitchens grinding their own blends in-house. Whether you're outfitting a butcher shop in Toronto, a bakery in Mississauga, or a restaurant right here in Vaughan, we stock scales and packaging equipment sized for a small prep station or a high-volume production kitchen, with fast delivery across the GTA — Hamilton and Markham included — and shipping to the rest of Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from operators buying this kind of equipment.

What's the difference between a portioning scale and a bench scale?

A portioning scale is built for quick, repeated weighing of individual portions — meat, produce, dough — with a display sized for at-a-glance reads during service. A bench scale handles heavier receiving and inventory tasks, with capacities running well past 100 lbs for weighing cases and bulk deliveries. Phoenix Food Equipment carries both from Kilotech, the specialist foodservice weighing brand behind most of this collection, in capacities from a couple pounds up to 600 lbs.

What's the difference between a commercial vacuum sealer and a chamber vacuum sealer?

A standard vacuum sealer draws air out through the open end of the bag and seals it shut — simple and fast, but not built for liquids or marinades. A chamber vacuum sealer places the whole bag inside a sealed chamber and vacuums the air out around it, so it can seal liquids, marinades, and sous vide bags without spilling or losing the seal. Phoenix Food Equipment stocks Globe and Berkel chamber vacuum sealers built for daily commercial use.

Why would a commercial kitchen use a price computing scale?

A price computing scale weighs an item and calculates the price on the spot from a per-pound or per-kilogram rate, which speeds up checkout at a deli counter, butcher shop, or bulk foods bin instead of a staff member doing the math by hand. Our Kilotech price computing scales include a built-in printer for receipts and price labels, making them a good fit for retail counters that sell product by weight.
