Scales for Chemical Manufacturing, Processing, and Handling

Precision, safety, and corrosion resistance for weighing chemicals in production environments.

Chemical manufacturing demands precision and control at every stage of production. From blending and reaction monitoring to packaging and waste handling, even small deviations in weight can affect product quality, compliance, and safety.

Arlyn Scales designs intrinsically safe, corrosion-resistant weighing systems engineered for chemical manufacturing and processing environments. Our stainless-steel load cells, sealed electronics, and advanced Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology provide 20× greater readability than standard strain-gauge systems while withstanding exposure to aggressive compounds and harsh operating conditions.

All Arlyn Scales are designed and manufactured in our Long Island, New York facility, ensuring quality, traceability, and full support for custom process requirements.

Why Accurate Weighing Matters in Chemical Processing

Weight monitoring is central to safe and efficient chemical manufacturing. Whether you’re handling volatile gases, corrosive liquids, or powdered reactants, precise weighing ensures consistent formulations and prevents costly rework or safety incidents.

Key applications include:

• Batch formulation and blending – maintain chemical ratios within tight tolerances.
• Cylinder and tank monitoring – track gas or liquid levels for uninterrupted supply.
• Drum filling and dispensing – automate target weights to prevent overfills and spills.
• Packaging and inventory control – verify outgoing material weight for compliance and cost accuracy.

Arlyn Scales’ intrinsically safe ArlynGuard series is designed to meet the highest standards for hazardous or corrosive environments. Each system can connect directly to your process control or inventory management platform via Ethernet, USB, or wireless output for real-time monitoring and documentation.

Scales Engineered for Corrosive and Hazardous Environments

Chemical processing environments expose weighing equipment to corrosive vapors, reactive compounds, vibration, and impact from heavy drums or cylinders. Arlyn Scales are purpose-built to maintain precision under these conditions.

Each system is constructed with heat-treated stainless-steel load cells—not aluminum—to resist corrosion and mechanical fatigue. Load cells are fully sealed and matched for consistent performance across all four corners of the scale, ensuring accurate readings even under off-center loads or uneven drum placement.

Our platforms are low-profile and easy to load, minimizing strain on operators and reducing spill risk. Every model is factory-calibrated and engineered for long-term accuracy despite continuous exposure to harsh materials or rough handling.

Recommended Equipment for Chemical Processing

Arlyn offers a range of intrinsically safe and precision scales to meet the demands of chemical manufacturing, from formulation to bulk storage:

Model	Ideal Use	Capacity Range	Starting Price
ArlynGuard B	Bench-scale operations in Class I, II, III hazardous environments	10 – 150 lb	From $1,799
ArlynGuard C	Cylinder weighing for pressurized or liquefied gases	60 – 400 lb	From $1,799
ArlynGuard P	Platform and drum weighing in corrosive areas	500 – 1,000 lb	From $1,899
ArlynGuard S	Ultra-precision hazardous-area weighing	5 – 1000 lb	From $2,549
Ultra Precision SAW Scales	High-resolution lab or process weighing	5 – 1000 lb	From $1,369

All models can integrate with wireless, Ethernet, or USB connectivity, and Modbus, Ethernet IP and Profinet for centralized data collection and traceability.

Automated Filling and Dispensing

For processes that involve frequent drum or tank filling, Arlyn’s Setpoint Controller automates pump and valve control to prevent overfills and spills.

• Program up to eight target weight thresholds per scale.
• Trigger automatic shutoff when the desired fill level is reached.
• Control pumps or valves directly via solid-state relays.
• Reduce operator intervention and minimize human error.

Automating these steps not only prevents chemical spills but also improves throughput, consistency, and safety across production lines.

Designed for Long-Term Reliability

Arlyn Scales are manufactured using corrosion-resistant materials and sealed electronics to ensure consistent accuracy in environments where other scales fail. Each model is tested, calibrated, and certified in our Long Island, New York facility for reliable operation in Class I, II, and III hazardous locations.

When paired with wireless data collection or setpoint control, Arlyn Scales deliver both precision and process control — helping chemical manufacturers maintain compliance, reduce waste, and operate efficiently.

Configured for Continuous Chemical Production

Arlyn Scales systems are designed to fit seamlessly into modern chemical manufacturing environments, where accurate data and process control are critical for quality and safety. Each scale can communicate directly with production control systems through Ethernet, USB, RS-485, or wireless output, enabling real-time monitoring and automated reporting.

• Integrating Arlyn Scales into your process allows you to:
• Track chemical usage and inventory in real time.
• Trigger automated shutoffs through setpoint control.
• Record traceable weight data for compliance documentation.
• Monitor performance remotely from control rooms or lab networks.

This level of visibility ensures that every batch, cylinder, and drum is accounted for — improving consistency, minimizing waste, and simplifying environmental and safety audits.

Built for Continuous Operation

From large-scale batch plants to specialty chemical labs, Arlyn Scales are engineered for continuous use in demanding production environments. Stainless-steel load cells, sealed electronics, and industrial-grade enclosures protect against corrosion, vibration, and temperature variation.

Each unit is manufactured, calibrated, and tested in our Long Island, New York facility, ensuring long-term performance and support from a single trusted source. Our engineering team works directly with chemical manufacturers to configure standard or custom solutions that fit your capacity, connectivity, and environmental needs.
