Mettler Toledo ICS445k-3XS/f vs. Arlyn SAW-PX
Comparing the Mettler Toledo ICS445k-3XS/f to the Arlyn SAW-PX
Comparisons of the Mettler Toledo ICS445k-3XS/f to the Arlyn SAW-PX show how improving technology can upgrade counting scales. Although both scales are Ultra Precision, Arlyn is just a fraction of the cost of the ICS445k-#XS/f. The Arlyn SAW-PX represents a dedication to highly accurate weighing.
The Arlyn SAW-PX is meant for heavy duty industrial use instead of laboratory use. Certain Ultra Precision models are designed to handle hazardous environments, such as those with explosive substances or corrosive chemicals.
The ICS445k-3XS/f is designed as a basic counting block, which can also do sample weighing. Many operators use it when they operate on a budget. It lacks a hygienic design, however, which limits the various applications and environments where it can be utilized.
