High Capacity Hanging Crane Scales

If you need to determine the shipping weight of a large refrigeration case, weigh large zoo animals or weigh totes as they are removed from a shipping container, a regular platform scale will likely be of little use. Lifting, force measurement and hang weighing applications all require a special type of scale. Typically suspended from … Continued

The High Precision of Industrial Bench Scales

Bench scales are commonly used in food, chemical, shipping and receiving, medical, pharmaceutical and retail industries. They’re also commonly used for small parts counting. When a company is in the market for a new bench scale, they have two predominant weighing technologies to choose from — strain gage and force motor. The decision will ultimately … Continued

Asphalt Aggregate Gradation and Size Testing with Industrial Scales

In theory, there exists a particular gradation that, for a given maximum aggregate size, will produce a maximum density gradation and minimize the void space between particles. This means the gradation of the particles is arranged in such a way that successively smaller sized particles will be packed within the spaces between larger particles. When … Continued

Counting Scales: A Great Solution for Inventory Control

Reducing labor costs and managing time are essential to efficient inventory management. Counting a stock of small parts is not only time consuming, it’s also prone to human error. So when you want to inventory these small items quickly and accurately, nothing is more helpful than a counting scale. These devices weigh a sample size … Continued

3 Types of Weighing Scales and How They Work

While strain gauge is the most common weighing technology because of its accurate measurement capabilities, good accuracy, and lower costs, force motor has become the alternative for high-precision weighing. Yet this second technology has some innate flaws and a high cost that make it a less-than-ideal solution. Purchasing managers and industrial engineers have often had … Continued
