Industrial weighing machines are built tough — but even the toughest machines need care. At Shree Shree Weighing Solutions, we’ve seen how simple habits can prevent costly repairs and keep your operations smooth.

Here are 10 must-follow maintenance tips for industrial weighing scales in Gujarat’s industries:

🔧 1. Regular Cleaning

  • Use a damp cloth, not a pressure hose

  • Avoid water near digital indicators unless IP-rated

📏 2. Routine Calibration

  • Every 6 months minimum (3 months for pharma/chemical)

  • NABL-certified calibration ensures legal compliance

🔋 3. Check Battery/Power Supply

  • Many issues stem from voltage spikes or old UPS units

💼 4. Avoid Overloading

  • Overloading once can permanently damage load cells

🛑 5. Don’t Use Scale as Storage Space

  • Keeping tools or pallets on the scale can damage sensors
