Typical Specifications

Typical capacity range

For this class of platform scale, capacities commonly range from a few kilograms up to 150-300 kg, with finer increments at the lower end.

Platform dimensions

Platform sizes for industrial scales of this type typically vary, with common footprints around 400mm x 400mm to 800mm x 800mm.

Construction material

Units intended for food processing are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Power supply

Most industrial platform scales operate on a standard single-phase electrical supply (e.g., 230V, 50Hz in the UK) or internal rechargeable batteries.

Ingress Protection (IP) rating

For food environments, units commonly feature an IP rating of IP65 or higher, indicating protection against dust and water jets.

Connectivity

Modern units often include options for data output via serial (RS232) or Ethernet for integration with production systems.
