OHAUS Valor 4000 Compact Scales

OHAUS Valor 4000 Compact Scales are legal for trade food scales that enhance safety, efficiency, and productivity even in harsh environments. These water-resistant food scales raise the bar and set a new industry standard with winning combination of touchless operation, speed, and durability. Available in both stainless-steel and plastic housing designs, they offer large LED front and read displays, food safety and legal for trade approvals and puncture resistant keypads, making it the premiere scale for use in dry or washdown environments.

The Valor 4000 provides precise measurements in any environment in which approvals and certifications are important. It has Legal for Trade certifications that meet or exceed the Class III accuracy requirements in accordance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbook 44 and Measurement Canada Weights and Measures Regulations. The easy to clean and sanitary design is Tested and Certified by NSF, UDSA-AMS Accepted and supports HACCP Certified systems.

A highly durable 0.5mm (0.02”) thick polycarbonate keypad which is impact and puncture resistant prevents damage from sharp objects, like knives. Valor 4000’s smooth glossy surfaces easily repel stains, moisture, corrosive fluids, and food contaminants, and stainless-steel models offer an extra layer of protection.

The flow-thru IPX8 water-resistant design allows for weighing of liquid components and can be used in harsh environments by channeling fluids that may enter the housing to strategically located drain holes, ensuring the scale remains clean and operational. The internal components and connections are silicone sealed to protect the scale from fluids that may enter the scale, and from condensation that may form inside the scale from constant temperature changes in a typical processing environment. The scale can be easily washed off at the end of each shift to keep it in sanitary condition and avoid the growth of bacteria from food contaminants.

Valor 4000 no only has a maximum external resolution of 1:6000/1:7,500, but it displays results in less than half a second. Coupled with a touchless infrared sensor next to the back display which allows a second operator to tare the scale with simply a swipe of the hand, these scales were created to support speedy use. In addition to standard weighing, they offer checkweighing, accumulation, and percent weighing modes.

Large fully rubberized feet are located at extreme corners of the scale to ensure a wide stance and surface resistance that minimizes the risk of the scale sliding or falling off smooth surfaces. The rubber of the feet extends to the shaft that ensure no grooves are exposed when fully extended; a design that passes NSF Standards.

Key Features

• With Legal for Trade certifications and food-safe washdown design that’s NSF Certified, USDA-ADM Accepted and supports HACCP Certified systems, these balances mees the needs of the most demanding commercial applications in dry or wet environments.
• Polycarbonate keypad can endure contact with knives or sharp instruments used daily in demanding food preparation, processing, and portioning applications
• Safe to use in the weighing of liquids and in wet environments, the IPX-8 flow-thru design ensures the scale remains protected from damage from liquids
• Touchless sensors combined with a half-second stabilization time increase the productivity of weighing operations without sacrificing accuracy. Additional checkweighing and percent weighing modes increase the functionality
