Applications
School classrooms:
The Core is an entry-level weighing balance that includes all the necessary functions expected of a school weighing balance. The Core is crafted using durable ABS plastic housing combined with a chemical-resistant stainless steel weighing pan for preventing accidental spills. Multiple machines can be stacked on top of each other and stored in classroom cupboards until required.
Science laboratories:
Science laboratories may use standard weighing balances such as the Core to reference weigh chemicals, compounds and other samples. The Core's small size makes it ideal for fitting on busy laboratory workbenches, whilst its lightweight design means that it can be easily transported or moved if necessary.
Agricultural use:
Variations of the Core can often be used for weighing grain and animal feed. The large stainless steel weighing pan allows the balance to be easily cleaned after use.
