Questions you should ask yourself before purchasing a scale.
- What are you weighing?
- Fish or poultry?
- Spices?
- Chemicals?
- Inventories?
- Or is it for Quality Control?
- Where and in what kind of environment will you work?
- In a very humid or cold environment?
- In a dusty environment?
- In a corrosive environment?
- Is that area subjected to vibrations?
- Is there low level lighting?
- Are there 110VAC outlets close by?
- In a laboratory?
- Or, will you keep the scale in your briefcase or trunk to do on-site weighing?
- What is the largest capacity you will weigh?
- What readability (graduation or increments) are you looking for?
- Do you need a “legal for trade” scale? (i.e. will you use the scale to establish the price of a transaction? If the answer is yes, then it must be legal for trade
A few tips to keep in mind…
- Weighing spices will require a small, more precise scale.(i.e. larger count, smaller increments)
- Counting inventory in a dark warehouse might require a rechargeable or regular battery powered counting scale with LED display or LCD with a back light
- Keep in mind that all things being equal, as the capacity increases so will the graduation
