High IP Protection Ratings: Find the Perfect Scale to Safeguard and Optimize Your Business

07/25/2025 Bodenwaagen

Anyone looking to invest in an industrial scale that performs reliably in harsh, wet, or hygiene-sensitive environments should prioritize the IP protection rating. This rating indicates the level of protection a device offers against dust and water ingress, ensuring durability and dependable operation in challenging conditions.

IP Protection Classes for Industrial Scales

Folding Stainless Steel Scale 064

Robust and Low-Profile: Stainless Steel Scale 074

Specifically for the food industry: the Cutter Scale K64

For example, IP67 indicates complete protection against dust and temporary immersion in water, while IP68 even allows continuous immersion – ideal for environments with heavy contamination that are cleaned under high water pressure.
An industrial scale with a high protection rating therefore offers not only greater durability but also maximum process reliability – especially in food production, chemical industry, logistics, industrial manufacturing, or humid factory halls.

Where standard technology often reaches its limits, RHEWA relies on highly protected products. These feature hygienic designs that comply with HACCP guidelines, withstand even the most demanding environments, and deliver consistent and reliable performance throughout their service life.

Focus on Floor Scales

In the range of floor scales for industrial applications, RHEWA has developed three certified stainless steel platform types perfectly suited to diverse floor scale applications:

The certified platform for the 064-Aqua-68 drive-through scale is robust despite its low passage height (only 40 mm), features an integrated ramp, supports weighing up to 1500 kg, and is optionally equipped with a lifting device to enable thorough cleaning.
For surface-level use or flush installation, the extremely sturdy and certified platform for 074-Aqua-68 floor scales is ideal. This platform type can optionally be enhanced with a ramp and a foldable bridge plate, offering high flexibility with weighing capacities up to 3000 kg.
Compact yet rugged weighing technology is offered by the certified platform for 064K cutter scales. With dimensions of 610 x 580 mm and a low own weight of 47 kg, this platform is also suitable for mobile use. It supports weighing up to 300 kg.

The platforms can be combined with the common RHEWA evaluation units 82alpha, 82B-1, 82C-1, 82B-2, 82C-2, 83sigma, and 84vario.
