You can search through a material handling catalog or website. You can search on the mega website that sells everything or the auction website.\u00a0 Or, you can simply contact your favorite industrial scale shop (Central Carolina Scale) and just tell us what you are looking for and we can probably get it for you.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of working with an actual scale company is a couple of things. First, you save time. You&#8217;re not wondering around websites or fumbling through catalogs trying to find affordable and accurate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centralcarolinascale.com\/industrial-scales-for-sale.htm\">industrial scales<\/a>. Secondly, you&#8217;re more than likely going to get, not just the correct item, but likely a PROVEN product recommendation, since selling and servicing scales is essentially all that a scale company does.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Materials are Industrial Scales Made Out of?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, getting to the actual point of today&#8217;s entry, what materials are industrial scales made out of?\u00a0 Well, industrial scales are usually made out of a combination of plastic, carbon steel, and stainless steel.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.centralcarolinascale.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/adam-ss-washdown-portion-weigher-300x244.jpg\" alt=\"stainless steel portion weigher\" width=\"300\" height=\"244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.centralcarolinascale.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/adam-ss-washdown-portion-weigher-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.centralcarolinascale.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/adam-ss-washdown-portion-weigher-368x300.jpg 368w, https:\/\/www.centralcarolinascale.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/adam-ss-washdown-portion-weigher.jpg 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This may seem confusing so let&#8217;s drill down a little bit further into this subject. Many entry level scales include a plastic or ABS enclosure weight indicator, such as the Transcell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centralcarolinascale.com\/TI-500E-digital-weight-indicator.htm\">TI-500E<\/a> for example. The scale platform the TI500 is connected to may be painted steel or stainless steel.\u00a0 If you&#8217;re looking for a &#8220;waterproof&#8221; or as we like to call it washdown safe industrial scale system, those are normally constructed out of stainless steel. The Pennsylvania <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centralcarolinascale.com\/pa-scale-co-7800-max.htm\">SS7800MAX<\/a> Washdown Bench Scale is a good example.<\/p>\n<p>So as you can see, industrial scales are often made of a variety of materials. The material you choose will likely be effected by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centralcarolinascale.com\/blog\/2024\/08\/27\/the-top-5-washdown-scales-you-should-consider-for-food-processing-applications\/\">what environment you will be using the scale<\/a> and what price point you want to spend on purchasing the weighing scale system. If you&#8217;re looking to control costs, an ABS plastic scale system can be the most cost effective. On the opposite end of the line would be washdown stainless steel weighing scales.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before you spend hours looking all over for weighing scales, we recommend contacting our sales staff. Decades of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centralcarolinascale.com\/About-Us.htm\">experience<\/a> usually equals a time savings for you and a great product recommendation.
