The importance of weighing in factory industries

Various economic units such as flour factory, concrete production industries, gypsum, tile and ceramic production, automobile manufacturing, packaging, textile, casting, pipe making, electrical, recycling, paper production and packaging industries are defined in the group of factory industries.

Nowadays, due to the importance of the products from the factories in our country and the economic crisis, the necessity of using accurate and high-quality road scales is felt more than ever.

What is the appropriate tonnage of a road scale for factories?

In the field of factory industries, according to the volume of the company’s input and output materials, industrial owners usually use a 50-ton road scale or a truck scale, and in larger industries, a 60-ton road scale or a trolley scale is used.

Which road scale installation model (inside or on the ground) is more suitable in factories?

Due to the limited space in the factories and with the provision of preparations by Fard Iran Company for complete cleaning under the platform and around the scale, the use of the in-ground model scale or road level scale is very common. Sometimes, in industries that do not face space limitations, it is also possible to use a road scale model on the ground due to the ease of cleaning the scale area.

Which type of road scale (all metal or all precast concrete) is more practical in factories?

In addition to high accuracy, the strength and durability of the scale and its useful life will be very important in factories considering their industrial environment. Although all-metal scales are known as capital goods in the weighing industry, but due to the low durability and short life span of metal scales, the metal structure of these scales has been bent over time due to the heavy impact of the car and the super heavy loads applied to them. And as a result, a gross error is created in weighing, and they also have high maintenance costs over time, so it is more appropriate to use all prefabricated concrete scales in these industries. Due to the fact that the concrete is processed in completely standard conditions, the prefabricated concrete weighing scales have very high strength and resistance to impacts and super-heavy loads, and with standard installation, it prevents improper load distribution on the load cellsPrefabricated all-concrete scales have a much lower cost than all-metal scales, which can also be moved. If a prefabricated foundation is used in this model of scales, they can be installed and implemented in less than 3 days

Why is the implementation of all-metal road scale not recommended for factories?

Contrary to the general opinion of industrial owners, who look at metal scales as their capital goods, it is necessary to consider the following before buyingMetal scales, due to the extreme fluctuations in the price of iron in the market, and the high cost of these scales, usually impose irreversible costs on their owners, which are generally due to the depreciation of iron, its corrosion and rust, warping in Metal plates are not sellable after a few years and the value of its iron also drops drastically. They also incur significant maintenance costs over many years. Therefore, not only is it not considered capital, but due to the transfer of cold and heat to the load cells and the bending of the plates, it will lead to errors in weighing. As a result, the hidden damage of these types of scales will be much more than the investment to buy an all-metal scale.
