Balances

Scales are essential instruments that allow precise measurement of the mass of different samples in various professional environments. Whether in a laboratory, clinic, or industry, they ensure reliable and reproducible results, indispensable for analyses, quality controls, and diverse procedures. Their technology is constantly evolving to offer better precision, greater capacity, and enhanced ease of use.

Industrial scales play a crucial role in production and logistics, where accurate measurements are necessary for weighing materials on a large scale. They are distinguished by their robustness, high load capacity, and resistance to demanding environments. These devices help optimize industrial processes while ensuring compliance with current regulatory standards.

Types of scales your laboratory may need


Waterproof scales

Waterproof scales


Waterproof scales are specially designed to resist moisture and splashes, making them ideal for environments where liquid or dust is frequent. They often use anticorrosion materials and have special protections to guarantee precise measurements even under difficult conditions, thus ensuring the durability and safety of your equipment.

These scales are widely used in laboratories, clinics, and the food industry sectors where hygiene and water resistance are paramount. Thanks to their resistant design, they facilitate cleaning and minimize the risks of damage related to exposure to liquids, which improves operational efficiency and the reliability of weighing over the long term.

Industrial scales


Industrial scales are designed to withstand heavy loads and offer exceptional robustness suited to demanding industrial environments. They are often equipped with advanced features such as integration with IT systems, interfaces for data collection, and anti-vibration mechanisms, ensuring stable and precise performance.

Used in production, logistics, and material management, these scales contribute to improving operational processes, reducing errors, and ensuring compliance with applicable standards. Their robust design enables them to withstand harsh conditions while offering ease of use essential for operators in industrial settings.

What you need to know before choosing a scale and investing

Key factors to consider

The choice of materials resistant to corrosion and humidity is crucial to ensure the durability of waterproof scales, as well as the precision of the sensors used. It is also essential to consider ease of cleaning and protection against liquid penetration to maintain optimal performance.

Industrial scales should be selected based on the required load capacity, resistance to shocks and vibrations, and connectivity options to integrate data into management systems. The robustness of the casing and compliance with safety standards are also indispensable factors.

Price range on the market

Scale prices vary according to their technology, capacity, and precision. Waterproof scales, incorporating specific protections, are generally more expensive than standard models, while industrial scales can have high price ranges related to their robustness and advanced features.

It is important to evaluate the budget taking into account actual usage needs, as investing in a scale with inadequate or insufficient features can entail additional costs in the medium term. Consultation with specialized suppliers allows obtaining precise quotes based on required specifications.

Value for money

Value for money should be assessed according to precision, durability, and technical support offered. A scale initially more expensive but reliable and durable will provide a better return on investment than a less costly model prone to frequent malfunctions and increased maintenance.

Warranty comparisons, availability of spare parts, and after-sales support must be considered to maximize the device’s usage duration. Good regular maintenance and use according to recommendations also contribute to preserving scale precision and reliability.

Lifespan according to use and maintenance

The lifespan of a waterproof scale mainly depends on the quality of its materials and its protection against external aggressions. Proper use and rigorous maintenance significantly prolong its optimal functioning, avoiding costly repairs and improving workplace safety.

For industrial scales, their longevity is often linked to the robustness of their construction and their resistance to extreme conditions. Regular calibration checks and a clean and suitable working environment increase the reliability and precision of measurements over the long term.
