Selecting the right industrial weighing scale is not just about weight capacity. It's about understanding your business needs, industry standards, and long-term reliability. For manufacturers in Gujarat, from the textile units of Surat to the metal industries of Rajkot, getting this decision right is crucial to accuracy, compliance, and efficiency.
Here’s a practical guide from Shree Shree Weighing Solutions to help you make an informed decision.
✅ Step 1: Identify Your Application
Ask: What do you need to weigh?
Raw materials or finished goods?
Small items or bulk containers?
Static weighing or dynamic (on conveyors)?
This will help you narrow it down between:
Platform Scales
Crane Scales
Floor Scales
Conveyor Belt Scales
Tank/Hopper Systems
✅ Step 2: Capacity and Accuracy
You don’t always need a 10-ton scale. Choose a scale with 20–30% more than your average weight. Also check for accuracy (in grams or kilograms) based on industry needs — like pharmaceuticals (high precision) vs. foundries (high capacity).
✅ Step 3: Size and Space
Measure the available floor space. Some clients install large floor scales and regret losing workspace. We help with site visits and custom-sized scale designs.
✅ Step 4: Certification & Compliance
Industrial scales must be legal-for-trade and stamped by the Weights & Measures Department. We assist with:
NABL Certification
Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC)
Stamping across India
✅ Step 5: Support & AMC
Always ask: “What happens after 6 months?”
We provide:
24-hour support
Replacement during repair
On-site calibration
❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid:
Buying from online-only sellers without service backup
Overpaying for fancy features you don’t need
Choosing an unlicensed supplier (risking legal issues)
