Floor scales - the importance of great design
Floor scale
A floor scale is used to measure the weight of heavy objects and industrial floor scales can expect to weigh hundreds of such objects day in and day out. Therefore their material of construction and their key components must be of the highest quality and be able to withstand the heavy work load. But even great components and great materials will not be enough if the design is not a great one. And the refinement of the design often separates a good floor scale from a great one.
A good floor scale design is key for an accurate and reliable performance for years. This design will make sure that the scale has well placed load cells and it has great off center accuracy. It will also make sure that the scale is easy to clean and maintain and the key components are protected when the scale is being cleaned. If thorough cleaning is required on a regular basis then the scale will have extra design features such as a lift top to enable that. A great design will include the indicator and it will be possible for the operators to get detailed information that is easy to read and unambiguous.
Surface treatment and anti skid surface will also be provided where required so that the scale does not get damaged due to wear and tear and also that heavy objects do not slip while being loaded or unloaded.
