Marsden P-SS-I-550 Multifunctional Stainless Steel Platform Scale

What is the P-SS-I-550?

The Marsden P-SS-I-550 is a washdown stainless steel, heavy duty platform scale, with a multifunctional stainless steel indicator. The indicator has outputs available for sending weight data to a printer or PC, and up to two low power solid state relays. This is one of our most versatile platform scales, with standard embedded user-selectable programmes, and bespoke functionality available on request. Ultimately, this scale is designed to streamline your weighing processes.

What are the benefits of platform scales?

Platform scales are Marsden’s best selling industrial scales. They are strong, durable and convenient for making heavy duty goods weighing simple. Platform scales can quickly load pallets or large boxes and the high capacity loadcells are perfect for large or heavy goods. This platform scale also features an IP68 304 food grade platform so can be washed down after use. Items can be loaded onto the scale via fork truck, or if the optional ramps are selected a pallet truck can also be used.

What is an IP rating?

The P-SS-I-550 features an IP68 rated stainless steel base. The IP rating refers to the scale’s protection versus water and dust. The first digit (e.g ‘6’) refers to the scale’s protection to dust and the second digit (e.g ‘8’) is protection against water and other liquids.

IP68 rated scales are waterproof and can survive in the most punishing environments. Read more about IP ratings here.

How can this scale streamline weighing processes?

Choose the P-SS-I-550 if you want to automate your filling and loading processes. The I-550 indicator has upto two low power solid state relays, which means this scale can automatically switch other devices on or off. 4-20ma analogue outputs are also available.

An optional RS-232C interface is available, which also date and time stamps data sent from the scale. Data that can be sent to a PC from the scale includes count, total weight, individual weight, highest weight, lowest weight and average weight. Other functionality includes Peak Hold, Totalising, 1 of 2 relay control and Silo weighing mode. Additionally, bespoke software options for the scale can be created on request.

Why should I choose the P-SS-I-550?

Choose the P-SS-I-550 if you need a bespoke, durable weighing solution, particularly if you need a scale with 4-20ma analogue outputs. There is a mounting bracket for the indicator included in the price.

The Marsden I-550 indicator is very easy to use and can be set up exactly as you need it. Weight readings are displayed on a bright, clear, 18mm LCD or LED display.

The scale is powered from the mains - a rechargeable battery version is available on request. A deep sleep mode improves power saving when the scale is not in use. The indicator can connect to a second base.

The 304 food grade stainless steel platform has IP68 waterproof loadcells, safely concealed within the structure of the scale. It’s perfect for harsh environments such as food processing plants, and is available in a number of capacities, graduations and sizes.
