Counting Scales

Counting Scales Weigh and Count Items Simultaneously

Counting scales are versatile digital commercial scales that can count and weigh objects simultaneously. They remove the labor and errors of manual counting during inventory checks. Automatic piece counting is also needed when selling and packaging products by number rather than weight. When you put a small item on the platter, the digital counting scale weighs and saves it as the sample weight. The display will show you the final count dividing the total number by this sample weight.

Industrial counting scales save you time and money by counting and check-weighing large quantities. Therefore, a scale that displays multiple information like the sample weight, unit weight, piece count, and tare weight would be more functional. The tare button helps you zero out the weight and get the exact weight of each item you subsequently put on the scale. Thus, you won’t have to do some math and accumulate the results.

A critical point in buying counting scales is resolution, also known as readability. In simple terms, it refers to the smallest number that the scale’s screen can reflect. It is the capacity and readability ratio. For instance, this ratio is specified as 30 lb. x 0.001 lb. for Alfa International AEC-30 Counting Scale. This machine can count items that altogether weigh 30 pounds. It won’t show you an object less than 0.001 pounds.
