Ultimately, will it save your company money by not buying a scale and just “guessing” the weights for shipping? Will you really be more efficient and reduce labor cost by constantly driving to/from and loading and/or unloading a Floor Scale verses buying a mobile Fork Lift Scale or pallet jack scale? In today’s economy saving money and spending wisely is important. You need to consult with scale experts who can recommend the best weighing solution for your business. The right tool for you may be something as simple as adding a UPS shipping scale to your shipping process or it may be buying a 70 foot long truck scale is just what you really need. Sometimes all it takes is one transaction to challenge the freight company and the difference in charges almost pays for the scale.

Adam PGL balances come with ShockProtectTM overload, three-point protection that safe guards the balance from over loads, application modes for parts counting, percentage weighing, specific gravity / density determination and check weighing as well as 9 weighing units including one custom unit.

Customers are asking for easy ways of sending their scale data to the computer and with the Adam software package, it couldn’t get any easier. The software is designed to work with most Adam balances and scales, without needing complex programming skills.

AdamDU Data Collection Scale Software monitors and collects data readings from up to eight Adam balances or scales at a time. Balances do not have to be the same model or from the same line. Captured scale data readings can be exported into Microsoft® Excel or Microsoft® Word at the click of a button. However, if integration with systems is required, AdamDU constantly refreshes readings in text, CSV, HTML, and XML file formats for importing to other software applications. Adam DU also provides real time graph readings with key statistics in view for easy monitoring of Min, Max, Median, Mean, Variance, and Standard Deviation. With quick search functions and printing capability, AdamDU software accommodates many industrial and lab data management needs.

AdamDu Software is compatible with most Adam product lines: PGW Precision Balances, PW Analytical Balances, ACBplus Portable Balances, CBD Counting Scales, CBC Bench Counting Scales, CPWplus Weighing Scales, ADK Precision Balances, & CBK Bench Scales.  The software requires Windows® 98SE, Windows® 2000, Windows® ME, Windows XP® or Windows VistaTM operating systems.

PGW Balances - Built For Everyday Use — All metal construction, an oversized backlit display, and simple, intuitive operation make the PGW a winner in laboratory and industrial applications. That’s because every PGW comes LOADED with solutions for the critical issues that users face:

Reliability - The PGW offers proven processing technology plus GLP and custom printouts with date and time, and a capacity tracker to monitor weighing range.

Flexibility - Choose a PGW model with internal or external calibration and customize text prompts in English, Spanish, French, or German.

Simplicity - The PGW boasts an oversized backlit display with 1 inch digits plus modes to meet every lab’s need: counting, percentage, animal weighing, check weighing, net/total, & auto density calculation.

Smart Pricing- Compare the Adam PGW to other brands costing 20% to 50% more and you will agree, it’s one of the best values in precision top-loading balances.

So, how do I know which counting scale is best for me? First, find a model that meets your capacity and accuracy requirements (remember the least amount of capacity you can handle is better). In fact, if you’re going to be weighing really light pieces, then possibly a balance with parts counting would be your best choice. Then, look at the features required for your applications (both now and in the future) such as computer/printer interfacing capability, battery operation, ability to connect a larger platform scale (remote scale), etc…

The point of today’s entry is that sometimes even though the no name products sound good and are a great value, you have to think about the long haul.  In the long run how is that product going to stack up against the known item?  A lot of the no name or names you’ve never heard of don’t really have a track record at all.  So, you really don’t have a definite idea how good the item will be.  Compare that to the proven balances from Ohaus. To sum up the entry today, we were talking with a scale distributor in the US and he told us of a decision he made to stop offering a certain product that he was importing from overseas.  The reason?  Quality. 

Well, our efforts have been made a little easier now that we have the entire Sartorius Industrial Lineup added to our product line. The Combics Line, IF Series, Combics Stainless Steel Explosion Proof, Pharmaline and Pharmaline Explosion Proof – all available from your supplier of choice Central Carolina Scale, Inc.

From the IS Series of Weighing Platforms, to the isi Series Indicators, Express Scales, QC Counting and Checkweighing, the Factory Series and Explosion Proof Scales, you can get it all — right here, right now.

If you haven’t looked at the extensive Sartorius line in a while, now would be a great time. This line is ideal for chemical, pharmaceutical and food related companies.  

Every distributor in all kinds of industries attempt to come up with lower priced items to offer their customers in addition to the standard high quality items.  If you do find a new low priced item to offer, it could mean more sales, larger marketshare, happier customers, etc… and etc…. However, over the last couple of years, I’ve found that more and more of these “low cost” import options have some serious issues.

Many arrive in marginal packaging. Many arrive weighing incorrectly. Many don’t hold calibration. Many don’t function or operate like their supposed to. And many, many require the user to practically know a foreign language to be able to read the manual.

The point of the entry is this. We will always try to offer you nice, affordable, reliable, economical scale options. Even our most trusted scales and brands (both domestic and import) fail from time to time. However, if we don’t feel a item(s) is up to a certain standard, we’re not going to offer it.  Sure, it may cost us a few sales from time to time…. but we want our customer’s to have scales that are economical and reliable and for our customer’s to feel they got the best “balance” of value and performance.

The CB Series includes two 50 gram test weights for calibration and verification of accuracy. The CB100 operates on one 9-volt battery (included). The CBX100 operates on 4 AAA batteries (included). An AC adapter is included with each model. The CB100 and the CBX100 comes complete with carrying case.
