Precision Bench Scales are Essential to Many Businesses

Step into a post office and you'll see countertop scales used for weighing bulky envelopes and packages. In the checkout line at the grocery store, you'll notice that the cashier is using a scale to weigh fruits and vegetables. In the fashion industry, certain fabrics and jewelry are weighed to determine value, and many items in the food industry are weighed for portioning or price calculating. Businesses of all kinds rely on some form of weight measurement for their day-to-day operations.

A Scale to Suit a Variety of Needs

Bench scales are one of the most widely used pieces of weighing equipment across a number of industries. These scales are typically portable, vary in size and capacity, and offer several features that can adapt to a variety of applications. They are well suited to use on a desk top, table, workbench or counter. Many tabletop models are used for measuring small parts with a capacity of 5lbs. Others are used in plants and warehouses, positioned on the floor with a weighing capacity of 1000 lb. or more.

One of the most common uses for bench scales is to portion foods, such as chicken parts, fruits and vegetables into retail size packages. Another bench scale application is to weigh parts or count small components such as resistors, nuts or bolts to ensure packages have the same number in each package.

Industries Rely on Precision Weighing Equipment

Unlike floor scales, bench scales are not considered top loading. They have a platform on which items are weighed. Some larger versions have an indicator column for instrument mounting and displays which can be raised to a level that is easy for users to read. In most industries, precision measurements are crucial to the operation of the business. That's why so many manufacturers rely on the expertise of respected leaders in the process weighing field.
