OHAUS FOOD SCALES

For professional kitchens, shops, restaurants and supermarkets

YOUR MOST RELIABLE TOOL

Efficient processing, cost control and food safety are essential for the restaurant industry. We are talking about professional places where the beginning of every food transformation passes from weighing. Not only, therefore, scales for the market, direct sales, but also for the background: in the kitchens and preparation areas of bakers, catering companies, pizzerias, pastry shops, butchers, fishmongers, etc. In all these situations, food must be prepared with precision, following strict health rules. Furthermore, from an economic point of view, having a reliable scale for inventory and quality control of goods, fast and comfortable to use, is essential to keep the business solid and productive.

High performance, legal for trade, NSF and HACCP certified food scales.

SCALES PROTECTED FROM FAT, FLOUR AND WATER

Ohaus food scales have high IP protection degrees, which allow them to be used in the most varied conditions.

But what is the IP rating? When you declare that a product is 'waterproof', 'water resistant' or 'dust resistant', you say a little bit of everything and a little bit of nothing, which is why the IP classification was born.
The IP (Ingress Protection) code is an international parameter that evaluates the degree of protection of the instrument's internal electrical systems, or in short, how much the instrument electronics are protected. The IP code is defined by two digits: the first indicates the degree of protection from solids or dangerous elements (flour, dust), the second digit indicates the level of protection from liquids (humidity and water splashes). The higher the number indicated, the higher the degree of protection.
Let's take an example: The Ohaus Valor 4000 series has an IP68 degree of protection, therefore, according to the IP coding, it is 'totally protected against the ingress of dust, sand and in general any small solid body' (6) and 'protected from permanent immersion' (8).
If you are curious, consult the whole table of IP degrees.

Ohaus food scales all have some common characteristics:

- Compliant with HACCP regulations
- Can be used in very humid environments, up to 95%
- Clear and large display
- Easy to clean design
- Stable and adjustable support feet
- Portable, with comfortable grip

So which one to choose? Your decision will take into consideration the different functions of the scales, simple or advanced, the type of structure, in ABS or stainless steel and other more sophisticated functions, such as the touchless function or the options for communicating with a PC.
