Mettler Toledo ICS4_9 and ICS6_9 over/under scales for food

Mettler Toledo has introduced the ICS4_9 and ICS6_9 food scales. These rugged, easy-to-clean and portable scale models make up a family of over/under scales that can be configured for a variety of manual portioning and checkweighing tasks for harsh environments where hygiene is important.

The scales have an open, stainless steel construction with double-sealed displays that enable repeated high-pressure, high-heat washdowns. A small benchprint and portable design enables integration at multiple points along a processing line.

ColorWeight-enabled displays improve operator throughput by giving immediate feedback if a portion is over or under tolerance, which may improve efficiency. Intuitive keypads and multiple language options make the scales easy to use.

The models are available with three different terminal mounting options: compact, column mounted or separate weigh terminal. A built-in battery and WLAN capability improves portability.

ICS models include data-log functionality for safe process parameter storage and easy scanner and label printer integration. They also include an internal database to archive product records and a range of interface options for connectivity with existing data management systems.

Load cells include potted aluminium IP65-protected versions through hermetically sealed stainless steel IP69k-protected versions. Users can choose the appropriate load cell design based on their specific environment and cleaning procedures so parts and equipment require less maintenance and do not need to be replaced as often.
