Available in both stainless steel and plastic housing designs, Valor 4000 offers large LED front and rear displays, food safety and legal for trade approvals, and puncture-resistant keypads, making it the premiere scale for use in dry or washdown environments

Certified for food industry

Legal for Trade certification means that we meet or exceed the Class III accuracy requirements in accordance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbook 44 and Measurement Canada Weights and Measures Regulations. Tested and Certified by NSF, USDA-AMS Accepted and supports HACCP Certified systems.

Knife Proof Keypad

Valor 4000 has a highly durable 0.5 mm (0.02”) thick polycarbonate keypad which is impact and puncture resistant.

Glossy surfaces easily repel stains, moisture, corrosive fluids, and food contaminants

Stainless steel models offer an extra layer of protection.

Internal components are silicone sealed to protect the scale from fluids 

The flow-thru IPX8, the water-resistant design allows for safe weighing of harsh liquid components by channeling fluids to strategically located drain holes. The scale is easily washable.

Displays results in less than half a second

Valor 4000 offers check weighing, accumulation, and percent weighing modes. Touchless infrared sensor next to the back display allows a second operator to tare the scale with a swipe of the hand. 

Non-Slip Leveling Feet

Large, fully rubberized feet are located at extreme corners of the scale to ensure a wide stance and surface resistance that minimizes the risk of the scale sliding or falling off smooth surfaces. 

Power and Portability

The 100-240 VAC universal power adapter can be operated from virtually any power source and can automatically switch to adapt to different power and voltage lines. If unplugged, the built-in rechargeable lead acid battery provides power for 50 hours, ensuring uninterrupted operation for more than a full week!

The adapter connection cover underneath the scale is spring-loaded to ensure the power receptacle is protected from the ingress of moisture, especially when the scale is washed down.

With bright front and rear LED displays, more than one operator can utilize the scale for the same job.

See your results with ease from a distance. Dual displays also allow for quick and easy weighing in retail use.

Application Modes

• Weighing - Determine the weight of items in one or more weighing units -- lb, oz, lb:oz, kg or g -- use the 0.2g to 5g readability for weighing additives, spices and yeast.
• Percent Weighing - The Valor 4000 includes % weighing for recipe formulation and baker’s percentages. Just weigh the flour on the Valor’s platform, capture the reference weight and all other ingredients can be weighed as a % of the flour weight, making small batches of dough quick and easy to work up! Practical use in formulation, ingredients weighing and baker’s percentage.
• Check Weighing - Use the bright red/yellow/green LED’s to easily fill containers and packages by weight -- great for sorting, grading and portioning.
• Accumulation - Keep a running total of all items by weight for recording long production run results.
