Industrial Drum Scales

When it comes to choosing the right industrial drum scale for your business, there are a few factors you need to consider. First, you must consider the capacity that your operations require.

We offer scales with a capacity of 500 pounds or 1000 pounds. This enables you to determine the best scale to accommodate the size of your product or the target output of your weighing process.

Second, you must determine the ideal size of the scale platform upon which your drums will be placed. Finally, you must decide if your operation requires a more robust implementation like stainless steel construction, or if aluminum construction is more suitable.

Choose a Scale that’s Loaded with Features

Finally, you need to consider the features of the scale.

Some scales have a digital display that shows the weight of the object in real-time, while others can talk directly to your computer!

Choose a drum scale with features that are most vital to you and your business.

Drum Weight Scales: Industrial & Commercial Applications

No matter what type of business you operate, an industrial drum scale can be valuable for many different uses. These scales are reliable, provide extremely accurate measurements, and can handle large loads with ease.

Many industries require the use of large drums for storing and transporting liquids. They can be found in industries dealing with fuel, cleaning chemicals, laboratories, water testing, and purification, and so much more.

At Arlyn Scales, we offer the ideal type of drum scale for weighing these materials. So consider our drum scales if you frequently weigh materials stored in drums, including (but not limited to):

  • Chemicals
  • Cooking Oil
  • Diesel Fuel
  • Gasoline
  • Lubricants
  • Paints
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Powders
  • Sand
  • Solvents
  • Spices
  • Waste

The Advantage of Arlyn Scales’ Industrial Drum Scales

When you’re weighing these heavy drums of material, it’s best to use a floor scale that features an extremely low platform. This, combined with a shallow loading ramp, makes it much easier to get the drums into place safely.

At Arlyn Scales, we designed our drum scales to support a wide range of industries. Therefore, our low-platform scales are accommodating, regardless of what type of barrels you use!

In fact, there is no rail on the perimeter of our scales. This means that barrels of almost any size can be measured because the load can overhang from the platform.

Minimize Spillage & Injury

This level of attention to detail in design prevents damage to your equipment and to your drums, which could result in the loss of product from spillage. Not only that, but it reduces the risk of injury to warehouse workers, such as from sprained backs and knee damage.

Maximize Functionality

These scales can be outfitted and customized to your infrastructure needs, and with ease. At Arlyn Scales, we offer upgrades, including:

…and much more. In fact, we can work with you to design a custom system!

If you weigh materials in drum containers, then your operators deserve a feature-rich weighing system to boost their efficiency. To find the perfect industrial drum scale for your operations, reach out to our team today.
