Waterproof & Stainless Scales

Precision Weighing in Harsh Environments

A waterproof scale with a certified IP rating is essential for maintaining accuracy in challenging industrial conditions. Commonly referred to as washdown scales or stainless steel scales, these instruments are specifically engineered to withstand moisture, dust, and rigorous cleaning protocols.

The level of protection is indicated by an "IP" (Ingress Protection) code. For most food processing, pharmaceutical, or heavy-industrial applications, a rating of IP65 or higher is recommended to ensure the unit is fully wash-proof and protected against internal damage.

Understanding IP Ratings for Scales

Choosing the right level of protection depends on your specific environment:

• IP65: Dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets.
• IP66: Dust-tight and protected against high-pressure water jets (ideal for heavy washdowns).
• IP67: Dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water (up to 1 metre).
• IP68: Dust-tight and protected against continuous submersion and high-pressure cleaning.
