If a food service scale is used in commercial kitchen environment with continuous moisture, steam, spills, and washdowns, then choosing one with proper water resistance is an operational necessity!
Charder's waterproof scales are built with sealed components and stainless steel construction, allowing them to be fully washed down and minimizing the risk of cross-contamination.

Wet Prep Areas and Kitchen Production
Scales are vital wherever ingredients are washed, thawed, mixed, or prepared for cooking.
Washing and Thawing
Scales used near sinks or running water to weigh ingredients before and/or after washing (e.g., vegetables, fruits, root vegetables) need to be waterproof to avoid damage.
Sauces and Beverages
Used for accurately measuring liquid ingredients used in craft breweries, coffee houses, and juice bars, or preparation of sauces, brines, marinades, and high-volume sauces - anywhere spills are common!
Bakery and Temperature-Controlled Areas
While not necessarily “wet”, these areas often involve high humidity, sticky dough, or sudden temperature changes that need a sealed, robust scale
Dough preparation
Weighing water, yeast, and oil are common ingredients that are often sticky or splashed.
Scale needs to be sealed against flour dust and able to be cleaned without liquid ingress.

Blast chillers / freezers
Scales used in cold storage or near blast chillers often deal with condensation and moisture from temperature fluctuations. A sealed unit prevents internal damage from this condensation.
