Complete Line of Secondary Spill Containment Scales
- Contains spills on the scale to provide accurate measure of actual chemicals dispensed
- For weighing chemicals in tanks, drums, intermediate bulk containers and tote bins
- Patented
Scaletron Industries. Ltd. continues its position as the "World Leader in Water Treatment Chemical Scales™" with its NEW Patented Model 4042™ Spill Containment Scale and Model 4042WB™ Secondary Spill Containment Scale™ for weighing chemicals in: Tanks, Drums, Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC's) and Tote Bins.
Spill Containment Scales have several very important features
These new Scaletron Industries, Ltd. scales weigh only the chemical dispensed into the water treatment system. If there is a chemical spill the weight is still on the scale and doesn't read as though it has been dispensed into the system.
The scales have four Load Cells that are completely sealed in PVC and Vinyl Plastic enclosures, which means they are protected from spilled chemicals and the chemical containers do not have to be centered, balanced or leveled.
Integral Splash, Spill and Containment scale platforms are resistant to most water treatment chemicals such as: fluoride, sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide, sodium bisulfate, polymers, ammonia, phosphate, alum, caustic, sodium aluminate or other liquids or powders.
These patented Scaletron Industries, Ltd. spill containment scales have an ultra low-profile design. The scale frame height does not exceed 1.5 inches. The low-profile design faciIitates easy on and off loading of heavy containers.
The Model 4042™ spill containment scale contains moderate spills, while the Model 4042WB™ (with bladder) has the additional benefit of a special rollout bladder to hold the contents of the container being weighed if spilled or leaked.
