Weighing equipment, used in continuous wet and harsh environments or exposed to regular cleaning procedures, needs specific protection technologies. Water and humidity, when penetrating a terminal or a load cell, can damage electronic parts, cause corrosion and may lead to incorrect weighing results or a break down. Furthermore, remaining water or humidity on the product contact surface causes an increased potential for bacteria contaminations.
METTLER TOLEDO offers dedicated weighing solutions suitable for wet and harsh environments. These solutions include long-lasting equipment, which are rated according to highest ingress protection ratings. An enclosure protected with IP69k must not only be dust-tight, but it must also able to withstand high pressure and steam cleaning.
METTLER TOLEDO's preferred construction material for scales used in wet and harsh environments is stainless steel. Our offering includes 304L steel quality and 316Lfor enhanced corrosion resistance that provides a long service life.
Reduced contamination; fast and efficient cleaning procedures - Equipment used for food processing must be designed and installed according to sound sanitary design principles. We offer dedicated solutions, designed in accordance with leading hygienic guidelines, such as National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) or European Hygienic Equipment Design Group (EHEDG). This ensures efficient and thorough cleaning.
