No one ever said that it was easy to be an Industrial Scale. This type of electronic scale must be very accurate, or for certain demanding applications they must be ultra precise. They must be easy to use, so that even untrained users can obtain weights without errors. Digital industrial scales must be able to send their data to other industrial systems, such as printers and computers. This is often accomplished using RS-232 communication lines, or more conveniently, USB or Ethernet computer connections. The industrial scale must be constructed, well, industrial strength, so that it will not be damaged from normal industrial applications. This is valid for all types of industrial scales, ranging from the largest floor scales to smaller platform scales, cylinder scales, drum scales, and bench scales and counting scales.
But not all industrial applications are created equally. Just being tough will be sufficient for most situations. But certain uses require an electronic scale to be able to withstand harsh chemical environments. One of the most common of these is found in municipal water treatment facilities, both for the municipal water supply itself, and for the treatment of waste water. A wide variety of very corrosive materials are metered in very small amounts into the treatment process. The drum scales that hold these drums must not get damaged by chemical spills or even the vapor from these chemicals. Floor scales that are used to hold tanks or totes must be similarly protected.
Arlyn Scales offers cylinder scales, platform scales and floor scales with stainless steel construction and a unique coating for excellent protection. The coating on these industrial scales is comprised of a special anti corrosive epoxy. Even the best coatings will only protect the electronic scale if it has not been scratched or abraded. Ultra hard garnet particles are mixed into the epoxy to protect the scale platform from wear.
