Counting Scale FAQs

Counting scales are weighing systems that are designed to accurately count large numbers of identical parts or items. They are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and inventory management.

Counting scales work by weighing a sample of items and then using that weight to calculate the number of items in a larger quantity. The scale will typically have a preset tare weight for the container holding the items, and will subtract this weight from the total weight to determine the weight of the items themselves. The scale will then divide the weight of the items by the weight of the sample to determine the total number of items.

When purchasing a counting scale, consider its internal resolution for high accuracy, maximum load capacity, measuring range, and immediate working environment. The scale’s portability is also essential, whether it is battery powered or plugin. Manufacturers can customize the scale for optimal operation or recommend suitable solutions.

Yes, many counting scales can be integrated into inventory management systems to provide real time inventory tracking and management. This can be useful for industries that need to track inventory levels and manage stock levels.

Yes, some counting scales can be used for nonstandard shapes or sizes. However, it is important to ensure that the items being counted are uniform in weight and size for accurate results. Some counting scales may also have adjustable settings that can be customized for different sizes or shapes of items.

"I received a call from a gentleman at Conway Freight regarding your service at Conway in Louisville.  Apparently he was extremely impressed with the service, repairs and installations American Scale completed at the terminal.  During the years we have been doing national service, this is the first time one of the national accounts has called specifically to compliment a dealer.  He has never walked into a terminal and not called me with some issue that needs to be fixed.  He said a couple times over there was not one little thing wrong with the scales that he could find. I want to thank your for everything you have done to present because American Scale represents Rice Lake and you have made both companies look great!  The gentleman who called is also the person who controls the reweighs and scale purchases for Conway corporate.  With that said, he was impressed!"
