Bench Scales
Bench scales are specifically designed to be placed on a table/counter during weighing. They have a small footprint yet feature a large weighing pan, perfect for areas with limited space. Some bench scales include the display, keypad and platform in self-contained housing. Other bench scales consist of a platform with a removable indicator that can be wall-mounted for increased visibility if necessary. Bench scales provide numerous easy-to-use features and the precision needed for a wide array of businesses, from small offices, independent bakeries to large factories. bench-scales.jpg
Counting Scales
While many balances include a counting feature, dedicated counting scales are primarily made to make counting tasks quicker and easier. They often have three displays to show the unit weight, total weight and number of pieces. Some counting scales include a full numeric keypad for easy sample entry. Counting scales also include practical feature such as zero-tracking, preset tare and parts counting optimization. Some of them also include memory storing and recall to make inventory management tasks easier. They're well-suited for tasks with small parts and pieces that must be counted like packaging or filling. Counting scales are available as bench or floor scales. counting-scales.jpg
Crane Scales
Crane scales are attached to the crane or hoist's hook. The digital readout indicates the weight of the load as well as the amount of force being placed on the crane, allowing you to determine whether the crane can transport it. Crane scales vary widely in price, depending on features and capacity. crane-scales.jpg
Floor Scales
A floor scale is a great tool for measuring large loads that are too hefty to be lifted on the scale by hand. Most floor scales are equipped with on and off ramps that allow efficient loading and unloading. Floor scales are well suited for industrial environments like warehouses and factories. floor-scales.jpg
Digital Weight Indicators
Digital weight Indicators display and manage the weight data that a scale platform detects. Indicators provide a range of functionality; from simply displaying the weight to complex recipe formulation, process control and transmission of data. Individual indicators can be configured with multiple platforms, allowing users to combine the features, functions, readability and capacity to suit their needs. Additional features include large displays, numeric keypads and colored LEDs to simplify weighing, checkweighing and counting tasks.Remember that Indicators need to be calibrated to a scale, and have many connections, power and output options that need to be installed at the time of order. Please give us a call or email us with any questions. indicators.jpg
Checkweighing Scales
Checkweighing scales are versatile weighing products built for a specific function and often utilized in manufacturing and industrial processes like quality testing, filling, packaging, processing and more. Checkweighing scales feature LEDs or displays that change color to quickly indicate if a sample is under, over or within preset limits. Some checkweighing scales include audible alarms as well. They’re often combined with relays to speed up repetitive tasks. checkweighers.jpg
