Allscales ISC-V platform scales

• Used for accurate weighing of ingredients in food preparation areas.
• Suitable for portion control in packaging lines to ensure consistent product weight.
• Ideal for quality control checks on incoming raw materials or outgoing finished goods.
• Can be integrated into inventory management systems for precise stock tracking.

Typical capacity range

For this class of platform scales, capacities commonly range from a few hundred grams up to 150 kg, with this unit specifically noted for 400g to 60kg.

Platform dimensions

Units of this type typically feature platforms from 300mm x 300mm up to 800mm x 800mm. This specific unit has a 500mm x 500mm platform.

Readability/Graduation (e)

Commonly, the readability (e) for industrial platform scales can range from 1g to 50g, depending on the overall capacity. This unit has an e-value of 20g.

Construction material

For food processing environments, units are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance, as is the case with this unit.

Power supply

Most industrial platform scales operate on a standard single-phase (1Ph) electrical supply, often 230V, or via internal rechargeable batteries.

Environmental rating

Units designed for food processing commonly feature an IP rating (e.g., IP65, IP67) indicating protection against dust and water ingress, suitable for washdown.

• What is the typical lifespan of a used platform scale?

  The lifespan of a used platform scale can vary significantly based on its original build quality, maintenance history, and usage intensity. Well-maintained stainless steel units can offer many years of reliable service.

• Are these scales suitable for wet environments?

• What kind of calibration is required for these scales?

• Can this scale be connected to a printer or computer system?

• What are the common causes of inaccuracy in platform scales?

Precision and portable balances are valued for their accuracy and reliability across laboratory and pharmaceutical settings. Buyers typically seek models with proven calibration stability and minimal drift over time. When purchasing used equipment, industry practice emphasises checking calibration certificates, verifying display functionality, and confirming availability of replacement parts. These instruments are generally regarded as durable workhorses that perform well if properly maintained. Key strengths include repeatability, compact design for space-constrained labs, and compatibility with existing analytical workflows.
