KERN parcel scale EOB 15K5
This flexible parcel scale is ideal for professional use in warehouse environments, shipping departments and industrial production facilities. Thanks to its robust design and high precision, it is able to reliably record weights of up to 15 kg with a readability of 0.005 kg. In contrast to products such as the [KERN EOE 10K5], this model offers particularly simple 4-key operation and a wall bracket for the indicator, making it ideal for space-saving installations. Anyone looking for an attractively priced yet powerful solution will find an extremely robust and versatile scale for a wide range of industrial applications.
Details
Detailed features
This scale is a single-range scale designed to efficiently weigh parcels, packages and smaller goods. The durable stainless steel weighing platform is easy to clean and therefore well suited for daily handling in hygienically sensitive areas. To ensure safe and precise weight recording, the scale has a solid steel construction as a base. Although it does not have IP protection, it is optimized for working in normal operating situations as long as the temperature is between 5 °C and 35 °C.
In addition to the mains-powered universal mains adapter, the device can be positioned flexibly as a 1.8 meter cable to the evaluation unit is already integrated. The convenient and clear LCD display with 25 mm high digits ensures that weight values can be easily read even from a distance. Thanks to the hold function, the measured values remain stable even in unstable environments, which makes it much easier to use in areas with vibrations or slight shocks. In addition, weight values can be retrieved in three different units (kg, lb, PCS), which seamlessly supports international workflows or the counting of individual items.
In warehouse processes where it is necessary to react quickly to changing conditions, the uncomplicated processing of data is crucial. This model impresses with its reproducible accuracy of 0.005 kg and a maximum linearity deviation of ±0.01 kg, which is completely sufficient for professional measuring and weighing applications. The scale remains operational without requiring a great deal of maintenance and therefore contributes to a smooth workflow.
- Weighing platform: 315 × 305 mm (stainless steel)
- Weighing range: up to 15 kg
- Readability: 0.005 kg
- Combined units: kg, lb, PCS
- Net weight: approx. 3.8 kg
- Design: single-range scale
- Ambient temperature: 5 °C to 35 °C
The remaining components, such as the housing and mounting materials, are made of sturdy plastic or painted steel. This model therefore offers maximum reliability and can be mounted on a work surface or, thanks to the wall bracket, in an ergonomically suitable location as required.
Standards and special features
Certifications such as CE are widely used for industrial scales, ensuring that the basic health and safety requirements are met. The device comes with a protective cover that protects the control panel and display from dust and splashes, which extends the overall service life. In addition, the built-in averaging function provides accurate weighing results even in slightly unstable conditions.
Application examples
- Weighing parcels and packages in dispatch centers to calculate postage precisely
- Use in industrial production, e.g. when weighing screws, components or production packaging.
- Picking processes in which piece goods, such as small parts or electronic accessories, must be precisely counted and weighed.
- Quality controls for incoming or outgoing goods to avoid any risk of missing quantities when storing or delivering goods.
FAQs
How robust is this scale for use in industry?
It consists of a stainless steel platform with a painted steel base, making it ideally equipped for regular industrial use. However, there is no special IP protection, which is why use in very damp areas is not recommended.
Can the scale also be used as a counting scale?
Yes, it has a PCS function, which makes it easy to count small parts accurately.
Do I need any special mounting accessories?
A wall bracket for the evaluation device is already included in the scope of delivery. Further accessories are generally not necessary, provided a suitable mounting surface is available.
Is the accuracy permanent?
The device offers a reproducibility of 0.005 kg and a linearity of ±0.01 kg. When used as intended and calibrated regularly, this high level of accuracy is maintained.
Is there an energy-saving function?
Depending on the pre-setting, the scale switches off automatically as soon as it has not been used for a while. This keeps energy consumption low and increases the operating time.
Conclusion
The KERN parcel scale EOB 15K5 impresses with its robust construction, precise measurement technology and intuitive operation. Thanks to its stainless steel construction and sturdy design, it is ideal for demanding working environments in trade and industry. The versatile functions, such as the hold and counting function, enable efficient integration into any logistics or production chain. In addition, the generous weighing surface and clearly visible display ensure convenient handling, while the wall bracket and external mains adapter provide maximum flexibility. Anyone looking for a reliable scale for medium loads will find a powerful and economical solution for everyday professional use.
