The Washdown Retail Scales are durable price-computing weighing instruments designed for food retail, markets, and processing environments where equipment must be cleaned frequently with water. These scales feature sealed housings and stainless-steel components that protect internal electronics from moisture, making them suitable for environments such as butcher shops, fish markets, produce counters, bakeries, and agricultural operations where sanitation and washdown cleaning are required. 

Washdown retail scales typically include a stainless-steel weighing pan, sealed keypad, and waterproof housing rated around IP66, which allows the unit to resist water jets and contamination during cleaning. Many models also incorporate dual backlit displays that show the weight, unit price, and total price simultaneously for both the operator and the customer, supporting transparent retail transactions. These scales often operate using either an AC adapter or a rechargeable battery, making them suitable for both permanent counters and mobile retail setups such as farmers’ markets. 

Because they are designed for commercial trade use, many washdown retail scales are approved by regulatory standards such as NTEP and Measurement Canada. This certification ensures that the scale provides legally accurate weight measurements for selling products by weight. Their combination of hygienic design, durability, and price-computing functionality makes them a practical tool for businesses that require accurate weighing while maintaining strict food safety and sanitation standards. 

The WBZ scales feature a substantial backlit screen that offers clear visibility and displays weight, unit price, and total cost for carrying out transactions in retail stores. For total portability, the WBZ functions with an AC adapter or a rechargeable battery, and its small size facilitates easy placement and relocation on worktop surfaces when space is constrained. 

The price‑computing WBZ is NTEP and Measurement Canada approved, making it ideal for farmers’ markets or ice cream shops.
