The food processing industry is continuously challenged by stringent safety requirements governing the equipment used, procedures, quality control, safety, and sanitary guidelines. There are strict regulations put in place by government, industry and health department regulatory bodies, covering food safety, safe and clean work environments, and the health and safety of workers.

Ensuring compliance and efficient operation requires the use of reliably accurate food-safe equipment. The portable, tabletop OHAUS Valor® bench scales set the industry standard for food-safe weighing with precision, speed, and durability. These rapid-response food processing scales offer enhanced food safety, efficiency, and productivity.

NSF certified/USDA-AMS accepted Valor scales support HACCP certified systems to reduce the risk of contamination.

With software for general weighing, checkweighing, and accumulation, Valor scales can be used for a variety of food weighing and measurement needs. A long-life internal rechargeable battery provides portability and ensures the scale will be operational when you need.

Valor scales offer removable stainless steel platforms for easy cleaning, as well as large easy-read LED displays, and durable construction, making them good choices for use in food industry environments.

What is NSF?

The food industry must comply with safety regulations set forth by government agencies, health departments, and industry guidelines. Founded in 1944 as the National Sanitation Foundation, NSF offers the most accepted, trusted, and recognizable certification for commercial foodservice equipment.

NSF reviews, tests, certifies, and registers food equipment products for acceptance across the world. Products with the NSF mark receive guaranteed regulatory acceptance in North America and improved acceptance worldwide. Registration programs, such as HACCP Compliance Verification – EU, demonstrate hygienic quality, independently verified by a trusted source.
