Industrial Scales - Choosing a Bench Scale1839557

So what exactly is an industrial scale? Well, in my opinion, it's basically a scale that is used for the purpose of conducting business. It's not a bathroom scale that you use to see how many pounds you've put on over the holiday season. It's not a personal kitchen scale that you use to weigh all those tomatoes. It's a scale used in a warehouse, or a post office, or a processing plant. The type of industrial scale that's right for you really depends on what type of business you have and what type of merchandise you weigh. In this article, we're going to focus on the bench scale.

What is a bench scale? It's essentially a fairly small scale that can sit on a bench or table. It's primarily used by people that don't have the room to house a large floor scale. If you still can't picture what one of these units looks like, just imagine yourself at the butcher or post office. You know that scale that the employee uses to weigh your package, letter or ground beef. That's a type of bench scale. If you're in the market for one of these scales, there are a few features that you should probably look for. The most important thing you want to look at is build quality. I suggest getting yourself a steel unit, as opposed to a plastic one. Industrial scales of all types tend to take a lot of abuse and you want yours to last a long time. I also look for digital scales. Units with large LCD screens are preferable because they allow you to easily read and interpret the data. Scales And Balances
