In industries like food processing, seafood, dairies, and chemical blending, moisture, saline solutions, and high-pressure steam washdowns are everyday realities. Standard scales would corrode and short-circuit within weeks.
Understanding Ingress Protection (IP Ratings)
Washdown scales are graded by their international IP ratings:
- IP65: Protected against dust and low-pressure water jets from any direction.
- IP67: Protected against immersion in water up to 1 meter depth for 30 minutes.
- IP68 / IP69K: Hermetically laser-welded load cells capable of enduring high-pressure, high-temperature steam cleaning.
