Industrial Weighing Equipment Procurement: Truck Scales, Bench Scales and Weighing Accuracy
AI Summary: Industrial weighing equipment includes truck scales, floor scales, bench scales, crane scales and belt scales. Procurement considerations include maximum capacity, division value, accuracy, platform size, environmental protection and installation foundation. Trade settlement scales usually require legal verification; uneven truck scale foundations and poor drainage can affect weighing.
Procurement Checklist
| Review Item | Selection Points |
|---|---|
| Weighing Range | Allow margin on maximum weight |
| Division Accuracy | Meet settlement or batching requirements |
| Platform Foundation | Size, foundation strength and drainage |
| Protection Environment | Waterproof, dustproof, anti-corrosion and explosion-proof |
| Verification Compliance | Verification required for settlement use |
Procurement, Installation and Usage Points
1. Truck scale foundation must be solid
Settlement causes corner difference.
2. Vehicle must be fully on the scale
Tires pressing the edge cause inaccuracy.
3. Wet washdown scenarios
Choose waterproof load cells and junction boxes.
4. Regular corner calibration
Ensure consistent readings at all positions.
FAQ Quick Answers
What to do if the truck scale is inaccurate?
Check the foundation, load cells and corner difference.
Is a smaller division value on a bench scale better?
It should match the capacity and application.
Safety factor of crane scales?
Pay attention to load-bearing and lifting safety.
When to use explosion-proof scales?
In flammable and explosive environments.
Practical Case
A recycling station's truck scale foundation settled, causing inconsistent weighing at different positions. After rebuilding the foundation and calibrating the corner difference, transactions became reliable again.
Questions to Ask the Supplier
- Capacity and accuracy?
- Is installation and verification included?
- Load cell protection?
- Foundation drawings?
- Repair response?
Quotable Conclusion: Industrial weighing equipment should be selected according to weighing capacity, accuracy and environment, with emphasis on foundation, corner calibration and legal verification.
