Waterproof Platform Scales

Not all weighing scales are waterproof. Waterproof platform scales are specifically designed to protect internal components, such as the load cells and electronics. Waterproof platform scales are suitable for wet and humid environments and are commonly used in industries such as food processing, chemical, agriculture and other applications where sanitary standards and regular cleaning are necessary. 

The main reasons why waterproof platform scales are important are to prevent cross-contamination, maintain high levels of hygiene, and ensure regulatory compliance. Waterproof platform scales are a necessity in preventing contamination, due to their ease of sanitization. With waterproof designs, these scales can be effortlessly cleaned, allowing for a hygienic and safe weighing environment. Moreover, the use of waterproof platform scales helps businesses meet regulatory requirements for accurate weighing, trade approvals, and compliance with industry standards. This supports the safety and efficacy of products, reducing the risk of product recalls and legal consequences.

Ingress protection for waterproof platform scales defines the amount of liquid and/or solid particles such as dust or water that can penetrate electrical equipment. The first digit indicates the degree of protection against solid particles while the second digit represents protection against moisture.
