PHD779lift
The PHD779lift floor scale, with a fully sealed bottom plate and unique failure-proof lifting functionality, reduces clean room hazards and helps you to protect operator and consumer safety.
- Headache-Free 360° Cleaning
Easily fulfill higher hygienic standards and reduce individual cleaning cycle time and frequency. The stainless-steel construction prevents moisture accumulation and allows you to eliminate contamination risk in regulated environments. - 100% Visual Inspection
The innovative design allows for 100% visual inspection and eliminates the risk of water ingress in frequent washdown applications. Speed up and simplify cleaning processes with headache-free 360° cleaning. - Painless, Failure-Proof Lifting
Gas-filled springs help you to reduce production area hazards and protect operators from physical strain, while safety locks minimize the risk of injuries or equipment downtime to keep your operation running safely.
The PHD779lift has been certified by the Fraunhofer Institute, in accordance with the Assessment of Conformity with GMP regulations and EHEDG Conception and Design Recommendations.
The lift model is principally suitable for use in hygienic areas up to GMP Class B. Cleanroom classifications are important for ensuring that pharmaceutical products are manufactured in a controlled environment, and they help to minimize the risk of product contamination and verify that pharmaceutical products are safe for use.
PHD779mobile
If you require the flexibility to weigh in multiple locations across your facility or easily relocate the scale when it is not in use, PHD779mobile enables you to streamline your processes with safe, convenient mobility.
- Safe, Convenient Mobility
Efficiently move your scale to a different station, relocate when cleaning, or quickly reconfigure your workplace.
Simply rotate the ramps up to the locking position to move the scale. When you are ready, lower the ramps and weigh. The self-centering platform automatically adjusts to optimal weighing position.
PHD779static
The static model of the PHD779 satisfies the requirements of most traditional weighing applications with all the benefits of our thoughtful hygienic design, large platform sizes, uniquely high accuracy, and smart POWERCELL® technology.
Smart Automation Connectivity
METTLER TOLEDO offers a full range of compatible weight indicators to facilitate fast and easy connection to your IT system and to most major automation systems, such as PLCs or DCSs. Vendor-certified automation interfaces that include device drivers and cost-free sample programming code enable trouble-free integration.
The unique POWERCELL® system in the PHD779 immediately notifies your system of a cable break or sensor failure before your production is compromised with alarms based on NAMUR NE107. Specially engineered METTLER TOLEDO devices facilitate OPC UA with the Weighing Companion Specification so that you are ready for the future of Industry 4.0, while easy-to-read displays and application software minimize operator error.
Ensure Continued Performance
When it comes to your weighing equipment, proactive planning for maintenance and service ensures optimum performance. METTLER TOLEDO Service delivers resources to enhance your efficiency, performance and productivity by providing service packages that fit your operational needs, maximize your equipment lifetime, and protect your weighing solution investment.

FAQ
What is an ultra-low-profile floor scale? What is the height of a PHD low-profile floor scale?
When a conventional pit-frame scale is not an option or low-passage height is critical for your operation, consider low-profile floor scales like the PHD floor scale. Low-profile floor scales offer easy weighing of heavy loads without costly pit construction because they lay flat on your production floor. You can achieve effortless movement of loads on and off the scale with short ramps for easy loading and unloading.
The PHD low-profile floor scales have platform heights as low as 35 mm.
What is a smart low-profile scale?
The PHD779 low-profile scale family employs smart POWERCELL® technology to offer real-time condition monitoring and proactive alerts for overloads, shock loads, and extreme temperature deviations allow you to address issues faster to prevent waste and maximize uptime. Your operation can also benefit from POWERCELL-informed operator guidance that helps to ensure correct load placement for every measurement.
What is a digital floor scale?
Digital floor scales offer higher accuracy levels with self-monitoring smart load cells that continually monitor and compensate for measurement deviations to protect your measurement accuracy. Digital floor scales resist electromagnetic interference better than analog scales. The digital PHD779 low-profile scales use POWERCELL® technology, which utilizes a strong 5-volt CAN (network) signal to transmit digital counts and eliminate the need for a junction box.
What models belong to the PHD floor scale family?
Choose from three low-profile PHD floor scale models: PHD779lift with a liftable platform for streamlined cleaning and reduced contamination risks, PHD779mobile with built-in wheels for easy mobility around the production area, or PHD779static that will be placed on the floor without wheels or lifting frame.
What are the benefits of a mobile scale?
Mobile floor scales, such as the PHD779mobile, are the ideal solution for facilities that need to conserve space on the production floor. With specific portable design, these scales are easy to move when not in use to maximize process flexibility and help companies achieve Lean manufacturing goals. Mobile floor scales also do not require costly pit installation, which saves time and money and expedites setup.
What is a wet-area floor scale?
Wet-area floor scales are usually stainless-steel scales that are designed specifically for use in production areas that require the equipment to have frequent exposure to water or other liquids. Our PHD779 low-profile scale family is the latest generation of wet-area scales engineered for easy cleanability and minimized contamination risks.
