KERN & SOHN FOB 500-1S FOB Washdown Bench Scale, 500 g Capacity, 0.1 g Readability

KERN & SOHN FOB 500-1S Washdown Scale — 500 g capacity, 0.1 g readability

High-capacity performance and practical design come together in the KERN & SOHN FOB 500-1S Washdown Scale, covering loads up to 500 g with 0.1 g accuracy. Rugged construction and a stainless steel weighing platform ensure long-term performance in wet and demanding industrial environments.

Key Features

• Precise performance: Rated to 500 g with 0.1 g readability, the KERN & SOHN FOB 500-1S Washdown Scale delivers consistent results across its full weighing range.
• Stainless steel weighing surface: The stainless steel pan resists corrosion, cleans quickly between samples, and maintains a hygienic contact surface for food, pharmaceutical, and chemical weighing applications.
• Rapid 2 s stabilization: A 2 s reading stabilization keeps cycle times short on busy production benches and dispatch counters, reducing wait time and lifting overall throughput on the KERN & SOHN FOB 500-1S Washdown Scale.
• Full-capacity tare: Manual tare across the entire 500 g weighing range enables container weight subtraction at any point in the weighing cycle, keeping net-weight results accurate throughout the shift.
• Dual power supply (mains and rechargeable battery): The KERN & SOHN FOB 500-1S Washdown Scale operates on either a plug-in AC adapter or its built-in rechargeable battery, making it equally suitable for fixed bench use and mobile weighing stations.

Detailed Overview

The KERN & SOHN FOB 500-1S Washdown Scale is an IP-rated bench scale built on a single strain-gauge load cell, with a stainless steel weighing surface and stainless steel housing measuring 155×175×40 mm (W×D×H). The 500 g capacity and 0.1 g readability cover the majority of portion-control, formulation, and receiving tasks in food and industrial environments. Sealed to IP, the complete unit can be rinsed under running water or subjected to scheduled production washdowns without risk to internal electronics. Manual multi-tare across the full 500 g range accommodates container offsets quickly, and an auto-off timer conserves battery life between weighing sessions. A 10 min warm-up time allows the electronics to stabilize before precision weighing begins. External calibration is carried out using a 500 g (M1) reference weight, traceable to national standards.

Applications

• Food processing and meat preparation areas requiring high-pressure washdown
• Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production with strict hygiene protocols
• Chemical processing and laboratory environments exposed to splashing liquids
• Seafood, dairy, and bakery production lines
• Industrial manufacturing where regular cleaning with water or solvents is required
