Description Details

Optimize your under-counter Modbar AV or EP system workflow and precision with the genuine Modbar Low Grid Scale Complete (Part #985). This essential OEM component is engineered to sit flush within the Modbar drip tray, providing real-time, highly accurate weight measurement for espresso extraction directly beneath the portafilter. The complete unit includes the durable, waterproof scale platform and all necessary connecting electronics, ensuring seamless integration with the Modbar software. Key features include instantaneous dose reading, robust construction designed for the demanding commercial environment, and a low-profile design that maintains optimal cup clearance. Utilizing this precise scale eliminates volumetric inconsistencies, allowing baristas to achieve superior shot-to-shot consistency and dial in recipes with unparalleled accuracy.

The primary benefit of the Modbar Low Grid Scale is the implementation of modern "Grind by Weight" or gravimetric technology into your Modbar tower, drastically improving efficiency and reducing waste. By switching from time-based dosing to weight-based dosing, you mitigate variables like coffee density and grinder performance drift, guaranteeing the exact desired output weight every single time. This consistency translates directly to higher quality espresso and improved profitability. Usage involves simply placing your shot glass or cup on the grid scale before starting extraction; the scale communicates the weight instantly to the Modbar system, enabling advanced control features like automatic cut-off when the target espresso weight is reached.

The Modbar Low Grid Scale Complete (985) is specifically designed for drop-in use with compatible Modbar systems (check your specific model manual for confirmation). It requires minimal installation by a qualified technician and is built with water-resistant sealing to protect the internal load cell from splashes and spills common in a high-volume café. Investing in this genuine OEM Modbar scale ensures you maintain the highest standards of precision and reliability expected from your premium under-counter espresso setup. Upgrade to gravimetric dosing and maximize the consistency of every beverage served at your coffee bar.
