Key Features to Look for in a Waterproof Electronic Weighing Scale

Introduction

Whether you're buying for a seafood facility or a food factory, it’s easy to be misled by the term "waterproof." Many so-called waterproof scales fail when exposed to continuous moisture or cleaning.

Here’s how to identify a truly waterproof weighing scale that will perform reliably in your business environment.

✅ 1. IP Rating (Ingress Protection)

• IP65: Splash and dust resistant – suitable for wet counters

• IP67: Fully protected against water immersion for short durations

• IP68: Can handle continuous submersion – ideal for high-washdown zones

At Shree Shree, we offer all 3 ratings depending on your industry.

✅ 2. Stainless Steel Body

Avoid plastic or mild steel models. Stainless steel offers:

• Better hygiene

• Corrosion resistance

• Easy washdown

• No rusting or contamination

✅ 3. Sealed Load Cell & Circuit Board

A truly waterproof scale must protect:

• The load cell from water entry

• The indicator and display board from internal condensation or splashes

Sealed circuits and potted load cells are a must.

✅ 4. Non-Slip Platform

A grooved or textured surface prevents items (like fish crates or milk cans) from slipping during weighing — especially when wet.

✅ 5. Bright LED Display

Fog, steam, and low-light conditions are common in wet areas. A high-contrast LED display helps ensure visibility in all conditions.
