Why You Need an Industrial Meat Scale for Your Butchery
Industrial scales are an important part of the meat processing industry in South Africa and beyond. Any successful butcher knows the value of being able to accurately and effectively weigh their produce and doing so keeps their clients happy. Thanks to the good South African braai, South Africa is known for being a nation of meat-eaters. We are truly passionate about our “vleis”, and thus, butcheries across the country strive to keep clients happy and well-fed. Butcheries are popular, and many across the country and all the successful ones utilise professional meat scales in order to ensure that every order is accurate, and every customer is happy.
These industrial scales are used in a wide range of applications and industries, including butcheries, catering companies, fishmongers, food-processing plants, and more. Industrial scales are able to efficiently and accurately measure the weight and portion sizes of meat and are thus essential for accuracy. Since they are robust in nature, these meat or carcass scales can be used to measure heavy weights and do so with ease. Industrial scales, and particularly electronic carcass scales, offer a number of benefits and enable the meat industry to run smoothly and effectively. Some of the key advantages include:
- Accurate Weighing: These devices are able to accurately weigh carcasses and ensure that clients get the perfect portion size. The weighing process is critical to ensure you are charging enough per portion and that your customers are getting exactly what they want. This reduces potential mistakes and helps you to keep a clear and concise inventory of your meat and subsequent sales.
- Securely Holds the Carcass: Thanks to specialised galvanised hooks, these scales are able to securely hold the weight of the carcass. This is imperative both for correct weighing and hygiene purposes. It keeps the carcass suspended above the ground and thus away from any potential contamination.
Two of our popular industrial meal scale options include:
- Fold-Down Option: This model is an easy-to-use, straightforward device that can easily weigh carcasses. Thanks to its special fold-out platform, it can be easily folded up when not in use. This makes it a great choice for smaller butcheries and spaces that are more compact in nature and thus adds to the scale’s versatility and user ease. This pick also guarantees ultimate weighing accuracy and works in conjunction with our weight indicators. Users can decide whether they want it to be mounted to a wall or be a free-standing device.

- Overhead Track: These meat scales fit easily onto tracking systems and are well suited to larger food processing plants and butcheries. Many larger abattoirs and butcheries are known for the business of their operations, and these devices enable staff to quickly and efficiently weight carcasses. Time is of the essence and indeed does equate to money. Industrial scales will allow you to streamline the weighing process by moving the meat along the tracks and weighing each carcass. As with the fold-down model, this machine is compatible with all of our weight indicators.
