Platform scales are used for weighing objects which are either low to the ground or which require a stable base. They are used industrially for a variety of applications. The sizes vary in accordance with the intended use. These industrial weighing devices are designed with a flat shaped platform placed over an automated system that consists of levers, adjustable weights and a load cell, and in some cases, multiple load cells. The load cells are placed under a scale pan or platform which is used to weigh heavy or large objects.
Common Applications for Platform Scales
If you’ve been to the doctor’s office and stepped on the scale, then you’ve used a platform scale. Industrial or commercial platform scales can range from very small sizes to immense devices capable of weighing very large objects or multiple products which are bundled and placed on large pallets. These are used by food processing plants, fishing industries, pharmaceutical companies, shipping companies and many others.
Customized To Suit the Your Company’s Unique Requirements
While some industries require the use of larger scales to weight massively heavy or bulky loads, others call for smaller versions which provide accurate weight measurement for smaller quantities. Some platform scales provide rugged exteriors which can hold up under harsh conditions, intense pressure or physical jarring. Those used in the chemical production industry must be designed to withstand exposure to corrosive materials. The one thing that each type has in common is they are designed to provide state of the art technology which assures accuracy in the measurements that are provided.
