A&D is pleased to announce the launch of the SW Series of Super Washdown Scales, which are our first IP69K-rated platform scales for the food-processing industry.
Conventional platform scales tend to break down rather quickly in processing factories for foods such as meat and fish. This occurs because the work environments can be highly damp, or the scales are often exposed to extreme shifts in temperature, which condense the air inside the enclosures. Furthermore, equipment used during food processing typically has to undergo heavy-duty cleaning with high-pressure and high-temperature water every day after work for sanitary reasons. No ordinary devices can withstand such hostile conditions.
The SW Series is IP69K rated. That is, the scales are protected against heavy-duty washdown with water temperatures up to 85 ¢ªC and pressures up to 10,000 kPa. The SW Series also resists the effects of condensation and prevents the risk of moisture invasion thanks to A&D¡¯s unique know-how, making the scales ideal for long-term use in the harsh environments of food-processing factories.
