Sartorius Combics3 Platform Scale

Applications & Use Cases

• Used for accurate weighing of ingredients and finished products in food manufacturing.
• Suitable for quality control checks on incoming raw materials and outgoing goods.
• Applied in portioning and batching processes for consistent product formulation.
• Utilised in logistics and dispatch for verifying shipment weights.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from a few kilograms up to 300kg or more, depending on the specific load cell configuration.

Platform dimensions

Units of this type commonly feature platforms from 800mm x 800mm up to 1500mm x 1500mm, with 1000mm x 1000mm being a common size for pallet weighing.

Material construction

Typically, the platform and frame are constructed from stainless steel, suitable for hygienic environments and washdown procedures in food processing.

Power supply

Most industrial platform scales operate on a standard single-phase electrical supply, commonly 230V, 50Hz in the UK.

Connectivity

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

Environmental protection

For food processing, units commonly have an IP (Ingress Protection) rating of IP65 or higher, indicating protection against dust and water jets.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

  Accuracy for industrial platform scales is typically high, often to within 0.1% of the weighed load, with readability down to 50g or 100g for a 300kg capacity unit. Buyers should check the specific readability and linearity for the unit.
