Bench Scales

Bench scales or tabletop scales are used mainly in the food industry, manufacturing, or warehouses. They are typically smaller scales that are waterproof and allow for washdown when dirty and between measurements.  

Washdown scales are popular in the food and drinks industry for good reason. This industry needs to have everything immaculate to be working well. This industry typically has a lot of dust floating around that can coat the scales, which will often need to be wiped down. While all scales need to be cleaned from time to time, the requirement for cleaning is much higher in certain industries. To find the best quality waterproof and washdown scales, you will want to look for products made in the UK.

Who Uses Washdown Scales?

Washdown bench scales are often found in food factories such as fish markets. Typically you will find scales in the back of the fish market to weigh the catch and at the front of the shop to weigh out customers’ orders. All scales in a fish market will be washed and cleaned regularly. 

Bench Scales Offer Better Value for the Money

If you know that your scales will be exposed to many liquids and will need to be cleaned often, then you should look at our bench scale options.

In addition to being used in food factories, bench scales are also used for postage.

Increasingly, businesses need to be able to calculate their own postage costs. This is due to increased online sales, where shipping is very common. For the most part, shipping scales will not have to endure liquids, and won’t have to be wiped down as much as scales that will be used to weigh food items.

While most of our bench scales are designed to sit on a table or counter, some options will have their own legs. These scales are perfect for those that need to have scales that are portable for various reasons.

These weigh stations are very common in a variety of industries, and are often used as a takeaway scale. This means they will weigh the product, and the person can take away the product until the goal weight is achieved. We often see this in meat shops, delis, and other places where people weigh food contents.
