Mettler Toledo has introduced ICS4_9 and ICS6_9, a new family of portable weighing scales. Compact, rugged, and easy-to-clean, these compact industrial weighing systems speed up production where hygiene counts. With rapidly escalating food safety concerns worldwide, operations at just about every point along food processing lines are coming under scrutiny.
“Hygiene and ingredient traceability are critical and in addition, food manufacturers need to contend with pressure on the bottom line, which means speed is critical. Mettler Toledo has responded by optimising the new product line for easy wash-down and materials tracking, while at the same time making the products more user-friendly and configurable for a broader array check weighing processes. The design and configuration options of the ICS4_9 and ICS6_9 series enhance production processes for faster, safer and ultimately more compliant food processing,” explained food segment specialist, Markus Diefenbach.
Open, stainless-steel construction coupled with double-sealed displays make ICS-models durable for high-pressure wash-down, while a small footprint and portable design enhance versatility. colorWeight enabled displays improve operator throughput by giving immediate feedback if a portion is out of tolerance.
Benefits, including audit quality results for fast, precise portioning and check weighing, for example:
* Ergonomics reduce operator strain during repetitive tasks.
* Compact design.
* Portable with built-in battery and WLAN for rapid deployment.
* Rugged to withstand tough industrial environments.
* Configurable for easy process integration.
* Hygienically designed to allow fast and thorough cleaning.
* Audit quality recordkeeping with calibration logs.
The ICS4_9 and ICS6_9 models are available in three different mounting options – compact, column mounted or separate weigh terminal. Intuitive keypad and display screen choices range from basic digital readouts to full-colour graphics. Multiple language options further enhance ease of use and processing speed.
Configurable load cells include potted aluminium IP65-protected versions through hermetically sealed stainless steel IP69k-protected versions. Manufacturers can choose the appropriate load cell design based on the specific environment and cleaning procedures. This increases up-time and reduces ownership costs.
The ICS models include datalog functionality for safe process parameter storage and easy scanner and label printer integration. They also include an internal database to archive product records and a variety of interface options to assure easy connectivity with existing data management systems.
