Who is OHAUS and what does it make?
OHAUS is an American manufacturer of scales, balances and laboratory equipment, founded in 1907 and currently based in Parsippany, New Jersey. The portfolio covers analytical, precision and portable balances, industrial scales (bench, floor, counting and shipping), indicators and weighing bases, moisture analysers, calibration weights, as well as laboratory equipment such as centrifuges, shakers and stirring hot plates.
For maintenance and production in Romania, the industrial scales are of most interest. The Defender 3000 series, in variants such as i-D33, i-DT33P and i-DT33XW, is intended for routine weighing in production and warehouses; Defender 5000 (D52) is a bench scale for washdown, and Defender 6000 has an indicator protected to IP68 against immersion and IP69K against pressure washing, with a 316 stainless steel base and a hermetically sealed load cell, for the food industry, chemicals and packaging. The Valor 4000 series completes the range of bench scales.
These scales are found on packaging lines, in warehouses, in quality control laboratories and in production workshops that dose or count parts and components, while analytical balances serve for fine checks and dosing. When replacing a unit, capacity and readability, platform type, washdown protection and the metrological approvals required for the use all matter, so the request should start from the full model on the nameplate or from the process requirement.

Why OHAUS?
- Bench scales for washdown — Defender 5000 (D52) and 6000 are built for wet environments with frequent cleaning
- IP68/IP69K protection on Defender 6000 — the indicator withstands immersion and pressure water jets, with a 316 stainless steel base
- Metrological approvals by region — the Defender series has variants with NTEP/Measurement Canada or OIML/EC type approvals, useful when weighing is used in trade
- Modular system of components — indicators, weighing bases and accessories are separate, so parts can be replaced without changing the whole scale
- One brand for laboratory and industry — analytical and precision balances, moisture analysers and calibration weights for checks

Send the model or series, the maximum capacity, the readability, the platform dimensions, the working environment (dry, wet, pressure washing), whether metrological approval is needed and the quantity.
