Three maintenance tips for weighing equipment

Measuring weight accurately and reliably is integral for many industries including waste, research and chemical engineering. As you use different types of weighing scales, maintaining them becomes more and more important to ensure they are doing their job. Here are some tips to lengthen your scaling equipment’s lifespan.

• Keep the scale grounded. Having a securely grounded scale defends your equipment from power surges and lightning.
• Regularly remove debris from the foundation of the scaling equipment. You can use a pressure sprayer to clear the debris. Consider if junction boxes, load cells and electronics can withstand pressure washing so you don’t damage the equipment.
• Conducting regular preventive maintenance and inspections. Check for signs of wear and tear, check the pressure gauge and enlist calibration services.

Scaling equipment is designed to last a long time. Like most electronics, it will last longer if you take care of it. Search our local listings to buy scales and to find calibration services near you.
