When it comes to selecting the right industrial scale a number of factors come into play, from the scope of application to the standards and regulations to be taken into account, it is crucial to consider these multiple aspects when deciding on one product or another. EPELSA would like to explore the five criteria that we have considered essential to help you make the best decision when choosing your industrial scale or industrial assembly.

Industrial scales or industrial assemblies are a key part of the weighing process chain in industrial, semi-industrial and, why not, the adaptation to certain retail sectors. In today's highly technological production environment, finding a customised solution that integrates seamlessly into processes is vital.

Finding the right scale requires consideration of the scale's own requirements as well as external factors that may affect its performance. Aspects such as weighing range, capacities, dimensions, materials and environmental conditions are key elements to consider.

There are several types of industrial scales on the market, designed to suit different needs. These include platform industrial scales, package industrial scales, bench industrial scales, with functions such as piece counting, levels, PPI, tare-weighing, etc., each one precisely adjusted to the specific requirements of the customer's demands.

What to consider when purchasing an industrial scale:

Scale Function: Identifying the main function, such as measuring or counting, is crucial. There are specific options, such as counting scales, ideal for weighing objects based on their individual weight, useful in environments where large quantities of small items need to be counted quickly and accurately.  

Capacities: Determine the maximum weight required, from counter scales to industrial sets such as Orionis or Explorer, capable of handling up to 300 kg. Some equipment can be found with a wide range of capacities, resulting in greater versatility and efficiency.

Scale location: The material of the scale, whether stainless steel or aluminium, must be adapted to the environment. Environmental conditions and IP protection of the equipment are important factors. 

Industry-specific regulations and standards: It is essential to pay special attention to industry-specific regulations and standards to ensure compliance.

When it comes to choosing the ideal solution for your business, EPELSA offers a wide range of alternatives. From easy-to-operate industrial scales to weighing assemblies up to 300 kg, ensuring optimum accuracy in production and product marketing.
