Drum Weigher Scales

The Model DWS3030-01 Drum Weighing Scale was designed specifically to weigh drums. One of the design criteria was that any one square inch of the platform would support 500 pounds. When you look at how drum scales are loaded you'll appreciate why they've designed them that way. Drums are typically rolled onto the scale with all the weight resting on a very small footprint of the scale platform. When the scale platform is not strong enough it will deform under the load and the top of the platform will develop waves and rolls. Deflection puts uneven side and torsional loading on load cells rather than 100% vertical loading. This causes excessive wear and inaccurate weight readings. Most Drum Weighing Scales are calibrated 1,000 X 0.5 pounds. This scale is calibrated 1,000 X 0.1 pounds (5X more precise). If you want your numbers to be correct and you don't want to spend a lot on maintenance, the Avery Weigh-Tronix Drum Weighing Scale is your best value.
