Help Buying a New Industrial Scale
With so many styles and models to choose from, buying a new scale can be a daunting task. At Filing Scale, our applications specialists are ready to assist you with your new scale. Scales have always been a driving force in the world of commerce, answering the proverbial question of how much?
Industrial scales and weigh modules are used to measure static or dynamic loads for a wide range of industrial applications ranging from measuring small amounts of gas in a lab setting to weighing trucks, railroad cars, and storage hoppers. Depending on the application, industrial scales can calculate units of measure ranging from micrograms to tons. Filing Scale offers a scale for almost anything that needs to be weighed.
When selecting a new scale, the two primary considerations are material to be weighed and the size of the load.
Laboratory balances are ideally suited for lab work, and often have graduations as fine as a microgram.
Our Benchtop Scale category includes checkweighers (over/under scales), portable benchtop scales that can be moved from one location to another with ease, and Legal For Trade Scales which are commonly used in commercial settings where material is sold by weight.
Counting Scales are often used to verify the contents of a pre-packaged assembly kit. With the touch of a button, an operator can quickly verify that all of the screws, bolts, and related parts have been included in an assembly kit.
Floor scales provide your facility with above ground portable, stationary or built-in pit mount applications. Flexure scales are designed to absorb shock and heavy loads.
