Recycling programs have become widespread in many industries for several different reasons. Economically, it is extremely viable for companies to sell any unused materials, including steel, iron, glass, plastic, rubber, wood, paper, and precious metals, to recycling companies. Environmentally, any products that are reused rather than placed in landfills help protect valuable land and nature. Legally, it is becoming more and more common for states and municipalities to pass legislation required industrial entities to create these recycling programs. When recycled products are brought to recycling plants, these plants must first sort out the different products, and then must weigh them in order to determine how much to pay the donator. Digital platform scales are ideal for weighing this recycled material. These digital scales usually have a [+]

The primary purpose of industrial scales is to simply weigh objects. How much of each chemical is being fed into this mixture? How much do those boxes weigh that are being loaded onto the truck? How many metal stampings are in the container? However, sometimes, it is just as important to collect this weight data from electronic scales as it is to do the actual weighing. It may be useful to keep track of how quickly the inventory of metal stampings is being used, what the total weight is of each truck that is leaving the warehouse, and the total quantity of chemicals that is used over the course of the week.

It is not an easy task for a veterinarian to determine the proper dosage of medication for an animal. Whereas there may be a rule of thumb for a doctor to prescribe medication for humans, there is a much wider variance of size and weight for animals. For this reason, many pet clinics obtain animal scales to accurately weigh their patients. A veterinary scale should include a number of features to make it easier for both the animal and the veterinarian. It is important that the height of scale platform be as low as possible. This makes it easier for the animal to step onto and off of the platform without any stress. Arlyn Scales animal scale has a low profile of only 1 7/8”. In addition, a rubber mat is provided for the platform. This increases the comfort for the [+]

Animals that are raised for their meat are bred to be efficient in the conversion of feed into meat. Especially with the increased costs of corn and grains, it is important to carefully monitor the weight gain of the animal. Furthermore, for certain farm animals, such as pigs, it is desirable for all of the animals that are being raised in a batch to reach their targeted final weights at the same time. Specialty weighing and sorting devices have been designed by Arlyn Scales for this industry. The pig sorter consists of an inner cage with entry doors and exit doors, along with some sorting gates. The inner cage is suspended from load cells and hung from an outer cage. In normal operation, the entry door starts in the open position. An electric eye detects when an animal enters the cage. [+]
