See a Lobster Getting Weighed on our IP68-rated Bench Scale

Published on 07 Aug 2015

This week, we’ve mostly been visiting locations across the Yorkshire region, testing out weighing scales from our extensive range.

Yesterday, we were at JH Mann’s, a traditional fishmonger in the South Yorkshire city of Sheffield, demonstrating not just how easy to use the B-100 stainless steel scale is, but how it can be dipped in a bucket of water - and still come out working!

Dez, our presenter, also got to grips with a live lobster - not the first animal he’d had hold of that day - and braved the smell of fish for well over an hour!The B-100 Bench Scale is a waterproof digital weighing scale with an IP68 rating - meaning, as you’ll see in the video below, you can literally submerge it in water, and it’ll still work! This makes this bench scale perfect for weighing fish - or anything else where the weighing scale is likely to get wet.

Plus, Larry the Lobster got a weigh-in on the scale - he was dripping with ice and water, but the waterproof weighing scale still showed an accurate reading.

In the video, Dez also shows you why the B-100 Bench Scale is so popular as a catering scale with the likes of Pret A Manger and the Scottish fishing industry - it can either be powered by mains connection, or by rechargeable battery power. How many digital food weighing scales have a battery life of up to 50 hours?!

The B-100 Bench Scale is our popular IP68 rated stainless steel food scale, widely used in the catering industry and at retail outlets. See the B-100 product page here.
