The importance of weighing systems in waste management and recycling cannot be challenged. Huge amounts of raw materials flow into industries, so keeping an accurate account of this waste material is crucial in being able to monitor costs and efficiencies. One way to tackle this challenge is by using high-quality precision weighing equipment appropriate for the businesses needs.
Waste is increasingly being recognized as a valuable resource as well as an environmental concern. Weight information is the key to tracking the amount of waste collected, monitoring inputs and outputs during materials recovery, extracting energy and properly disposing of waste. Whether processing waste materials to make products for commercial gain, properly disposing of waste, or creating energy from waste, the weighing data retrieved is vital.
With many industries placing a large emphasis on recycling and waste management, appropriate weighing systems should be used for optimum function, ease of use and business profitability.
The four types of waste weighing equipment typically used for recycling and waste applications are rail, truck, floor and forklift scales.
Using the appropriate weighing systems for your recycling and waste needs helps ensure your business will have accurate weights which can optimize profits and solidify customer relations.
Scales become inaccurate for a variety of reasons, including (but not limited to) wear and tear on components, rough usage, environmental changes and buildup under the scale. These factors affect the scale beyond calibration. For these reasons, regular preventative maintenance services on your scale are recommended. During a preventative maintenance service, your scale service provider will inspect, test and calibrate your scale to standards traceable to NIST as required by a licensing agreement with State and local agencies.
Quality Scales Unlimited provides regular preventative maintenance services to the industrial weighing scales critical to consistently accurate material weights, reduced likelihood of a scale break down and avoiding government-regulated fines or out-of-service violations for operating a scale-out of calibration.
