Industrial Scales 

Scales have been indispensable tools for accurately measuring the weight or mass of substances for thousands of years, and they remain an integral part of our lives. Throughout history, scales have played a critical role in the development of trade, science, and engineering. Today, they continue to be found in many areas of modern life, from simple grocery shopping to complex chemical analyses. Scales form the foundation of precise measurements and accurate results, used in a wide range of applications. 

 

In the industrial field, industrial scales play a crucial role in production processes, used to accurately weigh heavy loads. In the logistics sector, platform scales are vital for shipping and storage operations, offering the capability to weigh loads weighing tons with ease. In laboratories, precision scales are used for measuring chemical substances with accuracy down to the milligram or even microgram level. In everyday life, counting scales are commonly encountered in supermarkets, bakeries, and other retail businesses, enabling quick and accurate weighing of products. 

 

With the rapid advancement of technology, scales have also evolved significantly. Traditional mechanical scales have been replaced by advanced electronic scales. Features like digital displays, automatic calibration, data collection, and processing have made today’s scales much more user-friendly and efficient. Additionally, with the development of load cell technology, it has become possible to produce smaller, lighter, and more precise scales, allowing them to be used in a broader range of applications. 

 

Scales will continue to play an important role in all areas of life as indispensable tools for precise measurement. With technological advancements, they will keep developing and expanding their usage in science, industry, and daily life in the future. 

 

 

 

Types of Scales and Their Uses 

 

Compact Scale: 

Compact scales are portable and easy-to-use measuring devices commonly used in small to medium-sized businesses. These scales are ideal for small-scale weighing. 

 

Compact scales have a wide range of applications in industrial sectors. They are used in various fields, from the food industry to the chemical industry and from healthcare to laboratories. They are especially preferred for weighing small amounts of materials on production lines. 

 

Bench Scale: 

Bench scales, as the name suggests, are measuring devices that can be placed on a bench or table and are commonly used in small to medium-sized businesses. These scales are used to measure the weight of products and are generally preferred in places that require precise measurement. 

 

Bench scales have a wide industrial and commercial usage area. They are used in many fields, from the food industry to pharmaceuticals and from retail to laboratories. They play an essential role, especially in processes like product packaging, preparation, and stock management. 

 

Packaging & Portion Scales: 

Packaging scales are a type of scale typically used in the food industry to ensure products are packaged at specific weights. These scales are used to ensure the correct amount of product is packed during the packaging process and can usually measure in grams or kilograms. 

 

Portion scales are used in restaurants, cafes, and food service businesses to control portions. These scales are essential for ready-to-eat businesses to provide customers with consistent and accurate portions and generally have the capability for precise measurement. 

 

Packaging and portion scales are widely used in a variety of industrial and commercial sectors. They are commonly used in food production, retail sales, restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and catering businesses. 

 

Counting Scale: 

Counting scales are scales used particularly in industrial inventory management and stock tracking processes. These scales measure the weights of similar products to calculate the number of pieces present. 

 

Counting scales are widely used in many industrial and commercial areas. They are frequently seen in production lines, warehouse management, retail sales, and logistics operations. Counting scales increase efficiency, especially in businesses where large quantities of similar products are present. 

 

Floor Scale: 

Floor scales are measuring devices typically mounted on the floor and used to accurately weigh large and heavy loads. These scales are commonly used in factories, warehouses, ports, and logistics centers and are designed to measure weights in tons. 

 

Floor scales are widely used in many industrial and commercial areas. They are frequently encountered in warehouse management, shipping and logistics, the construction sector, the agriculture sector, and the metallurgy industry. They are indispensable for safely weighing and monitoring heavy loads. Floor scales can be used both on the surface of the floor and embedded into the floor, providing space-saving benefits. 

 

Piston Mechanism Scale: 

Piston mechanism scales have their cover parts lifted with pistons due to their design. They are generally used by being embedded into the floor. When used as in-floor, they offer an ideal solution for easy access to the pit and for cleaning the pit. They can also be used on the floor, thanks to their high-strength structure. 

 

Piston mechanism scales are widely used in many industrial and commercial areas. They are often found, especially on production lines, in warehouse management, packaging operations, and the transportation sector. Their ability to measure large loads safely provides a significant advantage for businesses. 

 

Lift Mechanism Scale: 

Lift mechanism scales are a type of scale equipped with a special mechanism that can lift loads for measurement. They are capable of lifting the entire low platform.

 

Lift mechanism scales are high-capacity and precise scales. They are also designed to be washable and allow cleaning underneath. These types of scales are typically used in weighing rooms where washing is mandatory. They are frequently used in the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical sectors.

 

These scales are usually used to weigh heavy loads accurately in industrial environments. 

 

Pallet Scale: 

Pallet scales are specially designed scale systems typically placed on the ground to weigh palletized loads accurately. These scales allow the weighing of palletized products without the need for manual handling or lifting. 

 

Pallet scales have a wide usage area in industrial facilities, warehouses, ports, factories, and logistics centers. They are commonly used in the transportation, storage, and distribution of palletized products. 

 

Bar-Type Scale: 

Bar-type scales are scale systems designed in the shape of a long and thin bar or beam. Thanks to their thin and long design, these scales can be mounted in narrow spaces and are used in various industrial and commercial applications. 

 

Bar-type scales are widely used in many industrial and commercial areas. They are frequently encountered in warehouse management, packaging operations, transportation, and logistics. They are preferred when measurements need to be taken in narrow spaces. 

 

Drum / Barrel Scale: 

Drum / barrel scales are measuring devices typically used to measure the weight of drums with lifting mechanisms. These scales are commonly used in industrial facilities, warehouses, and the chemical industry. 

 

Drum / barrel scales are widely used in many industrial and commercial areas. Accurate weighing of the contents of drums is crucial in sectors such as the chemical industry, petroleum and gas industry, food and beverage industry, and drum scales meet this need. 

 

Coil Scale: 

Coil scales are measuring devices typically used to accurately measure the weight of steel coils. These scales are frequently used in industrial facilities, steel production plants, ports, and logistics centers. 

 

Coil scales are widely used in many industrial and commercial fields, especially in the steel and metal industry. Accurate weight measurement is essential during the transport, storage, and processing of steel coils, and coil scales meet this need. 

 

Automatic Checkweigher: 

Automatic checkweighers are specially designed scale systems that perform measurement operations automatically and process the measurement results digitally. These scales are widely used in industrial businesses and commercial applications.
