Precia Molen Platform scale

• Accurate weighing of ingredients in food production.
• Portion control and packaging verification in food processing lines.
• Quality control checks for incoming raw materials and outgoing finished products.
• General purpose weighing in food-grade environments.
• Inventory management and stocktaking of food products.

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.

• What is the typical accuracy of a platform scale like this?

  Accuracy for industrial platform scales is typically expressed as a division size (e.g., 5g, 10g, 50g) and depends on the scale's maximum capacity. Buyers should consult the seller for the specific division size of this unit.

• Is this scale suitable for washdown environments?

• Can this scale be integrated with existing production software?

• What kind of calibration is required for a used platform scale?

• Are spare parts and service readily available for Precia Molen equipment?

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.
