Washdown-proof scales

All components of the Combics Food Scale can withstand being cleaned with jets of water and sprayed with disinfectants and still function with precision and reliability.
The complete Combics Food Scale, manufactured in accordance with the guidelines set out by the European Hygienic Equipment Design Group (EHEDG), meets all of the relevant criteria and is specially made for easy cleaning and disinfecting. All models in the complete series are made entirely of high-alloy AISI type 304 stainless steel (grade 1.4301) — suitable for the food industry. The platform is optionally available in electropolished AISI type 316 Ti stainless steel (1.4571). The surface roughness of all components that can come into contact with food is lower than 0.8 µm.
The Combics food scale has been developed specially for applications in which openness and product contact are the order of the day, where the strictest standards for sterility reign and where intensive cleaning with large amounts of water is the norm. This makes it predestined for use not only in the food industry (especially for processing meat and fish), but also the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
A broad range of engineering details has been implemented to make it easy for operators to clean and disinfect the scale. The hermetically sealed load cell is positioned between two sandwich elements and has IP69K protection for high-pressure, high-temperature washdown, in addition to IP68 protection, making it dust-tight and suitable for continuous immersion in water. The open design helps to prevent contamination — even the smallest particles of dirt and deposits have no place to hide. The metrological cable gland provides for the best possible seal while maintaining easy cleanability. The levelling elements, essential for optimum weighing results, are also easy to keep clean. Rugged mechanical overload protection keeps the weighing system safe from vertical and horizontal impact.
The complete Sartorius Combics food scale series has weighing capacities from 6 to 150 kg. Resolutions of 3000 e and 2 * 3000 e (2 weighing ranges) are available with verified versions in accuracy class III and 15,000 d and 30,000 d for standard, non-legal-for-trade applications.
