Industrial scales can be used across a wide range of applications and in many industries. There are many brands and a dizzying array of products to choose from. So, which one is best for you? We will help you to make sense of it all. With benchtop scales, compact scales, wash-down, and semi-wash-down scales on offer, it can be far too easy to become overwhelmed with all the choices available to you.
Start your buyer’s journey by taking stock of exactly what your needs are. Evaluate the entire process and determine where the scales will be located, how many you will need, and what size the weighing platform needs to be. Also, take into account the maximum weighing capacity, and how accurate the readings have to be.
Making Sense of All the Jargon
There are so many options out there that it is easy to become confused if you do not have a solid plan. Let us take a look at some of the common terms you will come across when you start your search for printing scales for your industrial application.
Readability
This is merely another word for accuracy, and it is a measure of how accurate a scale is by weighing unit. An example of this would be a scale with a readability of 0,1 mg, which is accurate to 1 / 10 000 of a gramme.
Capacity
This refers to the maximum weight a scale can measure. Some scales have an overweight tolerance, which means they can weigh a percentage above their stated capacity, but care should be taken not to overload the scale.
Internal Calibration
Many higher-end printing scales offer an automatic internal calibration option. These scales can calibrate automatically when certain criteria are met, allowing the scale to remain in calibration and maintain accuracy automatically, without requiring manual calibrate after small environmental changes.
