A&D Fortis FZ-WP & FX-WP Series: IP68 Washdown Precision Balances
Submersible dust and water-protected precision balances engineered for demanding chemical, mining, and food weighing environments.
Executive Overview
Orbit Technologies introduces the A&D Fortis FZ-WP and FX-WP Series precision balances featuring IP68 certified dust and waterproofing, allowing full submersion and high-pressure hose-down cleaning in hostile industrial labs.
Analytical and precision balances deployed in mineral testing laboratories, coal washeries, chemical formulation plants, and food processing facilities routinely suffer premature load cell failures caused by airborne dust and washdown water ingress.
To address this critical industrial challenge, Orbit Technologies now supplies the A&D Fortis FZ-WP (internal calibration) and FX-WP (external calibration) Series precision balances across India. Rated to IP68 standards, the Fortis series can be fully submerged in water without compromising delicate weighing components.
Powered by A&D's Compact Super Hybrid Sensor (C-SHS) technology, the Fortis balance delivers stabilization times under one second with readability down to 0.001 g (1 mg). The entire housing is constructed from chemical-resistant stainless steel (SUS304) with hermetically sealed display and keypad assemblies.
The FZ-WP series features internal motorized calibration, automatically compensating for ambient temperature fluctuations (Automatic Self Calibration) and ensuring continuous GLP/GMP compliance in regulated manufacturing facilities.
Key Technical Highlights
- IP68 dustproof and waterproof construction — washable under running water and submersible.
- Fast 1-second stabilization powered by Compact Super Hybrid Sensor (C-SHS).
- Chemical-resistant SUS304 stainless steel weighing pan and rugged housing.
- Internal calibration mechanism (FZ-WP) with automatic temperature-triggered self-calibration.
- GLP / GMP / GCP compliant data output with time, date, and serial number stamping.
