Mettler Toledo PB5001 – A powerful and versatile precision scale
The Mettler Toledo PB5001 precision scale is part of the manufacturer's B line, renowned for its reliability, robustness and intuitive user interface. This scale has been designed to meet the most demanding requirements in research, the pharmaceutical industry, production and quality control. With a maximum capacity of 5,100 g and a resolution of 0.1 g, it offers exceptional accuracy for a wide variety of weighing applications.
One of the main advantages of the PB5001 is its stable weighing technology, even in environments subject to vibrations. The user can adjust the sensitivity of the balance to mechanical disturbances via the internal menu, ensuring reliable results in all circumstances. The instrument also features a DeltaRange function, which provides increased accuracy on low loads thanks to a fine measuring range with increments ten times smaller.
The PB5001 offers several operating modes. Piece counting, which can be activated via the menu, allows the number of identical items on the platform to be determined by establishing a reference weight. Percentage weighing facilitates comparisons with a target value, which is useful for dosing or comparative analyses. Dynamic weighing is designed for measuring unstable loads such as moving liquids or small animals; it calculates an average over a defined time interval.
In terms of ergonomics, the scale stands out for its ease of use. All models in the B range share the same operating logic. The PB5001 is equipped with a clear, easy-to-read display and multifunction keys for easy navigation between modes. It includes a tare function, a manual calibration system with external weights, and the option to switch between different units of measurement (g, kg, lb, oz, etc.), within the limits of local certifications.
Connectivity has not been overlooked. It has a standard RS232C interface, allowing data to be transferred to a printer or computer for results tracking or GLP/GMP-compliant documentation. Peripherals such as METTLER TOLEDO GA42 or LC-P45 printers can be connected directly.
Designed for durability, the PB5001 has a stainless steel weighing pan, a sturdy housing and a dust protection system. A spirit level and levelling feet ensure accurate installation. In addition, optional accessories such as anti-theft devices, protective covers or stand-alone batteries complete the solution for mobile or secure use.
The Mettler Toledo PB5001 is a robust and flexible professional solution, ideal for environments requiring high precision and adaptability.
