What are the benefits of using a stainless steel weighing scale?
Stainless steel scales such as the Adam ABW-S Aqua Waterproof Scale range pose several benefits to their users. Firstly, stainless steel is an incredibly easy to clean material and can be washed down in just seconds.
For the food industry and some industrial environments, good hygiene is integral to everyday weighing practises. Weighing items such as fish or meat risks cross contamination from the spread of bacteria that could be harmful you users and customers. Extensive research has shown that stainless steel has a low bacterial retention capacity. This makes your scales ultimately more hygienic to ensure that they are in-line with food safety regulations.
Lastly, stainless steel in an incredibly robust material and can deal with the demanding working practises of busy professional kitchens and harsh industrial environments. It is also corrosion-resistant for added protection when weighing harmful acids or other caustic subjects.

What is an NSF-compliant scale?
NSF stands for National Sanitation Foundation. It’s a global organisation that sets standards for equipment used in the food and water industries. Any scale or balance that has been deemed NSF compliant is safe to use when working with food and beverages.
The Aqua ABW-S is NSF compliant and frequently used to weigh food and beverages, from production to plate. As we mentioned above, its stainless steel pan makes the ABW-S perfect for applications with strict health standards. It can handle thorough cleaning with harsh cleansers and even being submerged in water.
Other Benefits of the ABW-S
The ABW-S offers a rechargeable battery that can be used for up to 55 hours between charges so it can be brought wherever the weighing is. Two displays on both the front and the rear allow for two workers to share the scale, saving you money while improving efficiency.
Take advantage of the Aqua Stainless’s extra functions beyond weighing, such as checkweighing, percentage weighing and parts counting. While we recommend specialised scales if you’re looking to use these functions frequently, the ABW-S saves you from buying an extra scale for the rare times you need them.
