For mobility and convenience, bench scales offer ideal features that are adaptable to a wide range of applications. Available in a variety of models, bench scales are compatible for business applications such as farming, manufacturing, food processing, healthcare, shipping, and commercial applications. Bench scales come in different sizes and can be customized to suit unique business needs.
NTEP stands for National Type Evaluation Program, which is a means of ensuring that all “legal for trade” bench scales and commercial weighing equipment are tested and conform to national standards before being introduced into the market. The government standards and specifications set by the NIST cover every aspect of weighing instruments from accuracy and effects to capacity and temperature. All legal for trade bench scales need to be NTEP-approved in the United States; therefore, all check weighing scales that are tested and approved by the NTEP are issued a conformance certificate.
All commercial applications that sell products by weight are legally required to have their check weighing scales verified as legal for trade. NTEP approved scales are typically required for accurate determination of the weight of materials for:
Bench scales are engineered to increase the operational efficiency, accuracy and productivity in various industries. From basic weighing applications to monitoring and packaging inventory, bench scales incorporate versatile features for your specific application.
Check weighing scales are primarily used in precise portioning applications. Checkweighers are designed to add efficiency to manufacturing, sorting and food-processing applications. Product weight is checked to be within a preset range or target.
Counting scales are an essential tool for counting high volumes of identical parts. These scales are available in varying capacities and sizes to accommodate check counting, part counting, filing, and inventory control needs. Designed for quick and accurate counting in manufacturing applications, these scales minimize operator error when counting a high volume of identical items.
Ideal for use in food processing facilities and agricultural applications, wash down scales come with watertight seals and stainless steel parts to facilitate easy removal of residue and minimize cross-contamination. Various degrees of waterproofing to protect the sensitive internal parts from moisture damage are available to better maintain these types of scales.
Intrinsically Safe Weighing ScalesIntrinsically safe weighing scales offer excellent explosion protection in hazardous environments. These scales are custom designed to eliminate the conditions that can trigger an explosion.
