Introduction

In modern food processing units, everything — from hygiene to traceability — must meet rigorous standards. Yet many factories still use regular weighing scales in environments filled with water, steam, and cleaning chemicals.

That’s not only risky — it’s non-compliant.

At Shree Shree Weighing Solutions, we help food businesses across Gujarat switch to IP67/IP68 waterproof weighing machines that stand up to wet, messy, and washdown-prone conditions.

Here’s why these scales are a must-have for any food production facility.

⚠️ The Challenges in Food Production

Food factories deal with:

  • Frequent cleaning with water jets and sanitisers

  • Oil, flour, liquid, and food spills

  • Cold, humid, or steamy environments

  • Contamination risks from open circuits

If your scale isn’t sealed and waterproof, it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, leads to malfunctions, and violates FSSAI guidelines.

💧 How Waterproof Scales Solve This

IP-Rated Housing – Prevents water ingress even during pressure washes
Corrosion-Resistant Materials – No rust, no contamination
Smooth, Stainless Steel Surfaces – Easy to clean and maintain
Load Cell Protection – Ensures accurate weighing even in humid or cold zones
Legal Metrology Approved – Helps you pass government inspections with ease
