Why Specify Scaletron™ Scales?
All Secondary Spill & Leak Containment Scales are “NOT” Created Equal
Scaletron’s Model 4042™ Spill Containment Scales offer many advantages that our competitors can’t match!
Increased Reliability
Scaletron Industries Ltd. patented design features a scale base and a separate spill containment basin. The load cells are completely sealed in the scale base UNDER the containment basin and out of contact with corrosive chemicals. Other designs on the market have the load cells and wiring IN the spill containment tank where they are fully exposed to even the slightest spill or splash from the corrosive chemical being monitored. Just one spill can cause the load cells and wiring to corrode requiring expensive maintenance and replacement of the load cells.
To insure long term reliability, Scaletron's design protects all four load cells and wiring from corrosive chemicals by completely encasing them in individual PVC enclosures, effectively sealing them off from corrosive agents. In addition, placing the load cells and wiring under the containment tank provides an extra measure of protection by positioning them in a location less likely to be spilled on. As a result, the life of the load cells and wiring is greatly extended, reducing the often high component replacement costs and associated labor demands.
Improved Accuracy
All Scaletron Model 4042™ Spill Containment Scales insure the highest accuracy of chemical measurement available. The molded plastic spill containment basin captures splashes and small spills, providing accurate measurement of the net remaining chemical. Spills and splashes are not measured as being injected into the water treatment system thus increasing the operator’s ability to more closely monitor chemical waste and control “on-hand” chemical inventory in the most accurate manner. An even more highly desired benefit is the increase in reporting accuracy to municipal and governmental agencies increasing regulatory compliance and avoiding potential non-compliance citations or fines for failure to properly account for chemicals dispensed.
Lower Costs
Increased reliability means, lower costs. With Scaletron’s scales cost savings are realized by the decrease in facility downtime typically incurred by lengthy load cell and wiring replacement processes. Facilities will log less down time and more hours in operation by simply using the Scaletron Model 4042™ Spill Containment Scale in place of another manufacturer’s. Over the long run our scales save $$$.
Multiple Sizes
Scaletron is the only company to offer a complete line of Spill containment Scales with multiple base sizes and containment capacities. From drums to tanks to IBC totes our scales are equipped to handle a wide range of chemical weighing applications.
With so many advantages it is easy to see why Scaletron’s Model 4042™ Spill Containment Scales are the best choice for all types of water processing facilities. Contact us today to find out how Scaletron scales can improve your water treatment operations.
