At first sight, industrial scales may all look like the same. Afterall, they are scales that serve the purpose of weighing and counting the products of your business. But truth is an industrial scale hides many characteristics that distinguish it from the other ones and that make it the ideal (or not) for weighing and/or counting your kind of products.
To choose the right industrial scale for your business, there are many aspects you should consider. Before deciding which one is the best, you should investigate a bit further about weighing and discover all the characteristics and functions your industrial platform can’t work without.
But don’t worry because, as a weighing expert, Balanças Marques is here to help you with the task, with some tips on how to choose the best industrial scale for your business:
First, try to understand the kind of industrial scale you need.
There are several kinds of industrial platforms. The ideal one for your business will depend on your needs and even on the space you have available. If you need an industrial scale to weigh products with larger dimensions, the best option may lay on a bigger platform, built-in or installed on the ground. But, if you’ll use it mainly to weigh smaller objects, you may benefit from choosing a smaller scale that takes less space and that’s easily moveable.
Then, analyse the characteristics your industrial scale should have.
Each model of industrial platforms has a series of unique characteristics. Besides the components (that give it more or less resistance), scales present different reaches, divisions and functions. So, on your search for the right industrial scale for your business, determine what you need it to do and which objects it will weigh. If, for example, your industry produces mostly small pieces, you can opt by a scale with a reduced reach, with greater precision and even the function of counting pieces. But, if your production focus on larger objects, you should choose a industrial scale with greater capacity.
And, lastly, choose the accessories that are most adequate for your industry.
Industrial scales don’t go without some accessories to accompany their work, like weight indicators. According to their components, functions and other characteristics (like the kind of support), you should choose those that are most adequate to your industry and the best fit to your space.
