Is Scale Maintenance Optional?

It is often easy to overlook things such as routine maintenance and calibration of your scales. Many people see these service appointments as optional and think they can be skipped, but could this exclusion be hurting your bottom line? Preventative maintenance is important not only for the longevity of your equipment, but also for the accuracy and profitability of your business.

Regular calibration of your scale is crucial for the profitability of your business because it prevents drift and reveals scale error. Over time scales will often drift in calibration, causing your measurements to gradually lose accuracy if you do not maintain regular appointments. A loss or gain of a few pounds can cause you thousands of dollars over time without you even realizing. Additionally, calibration can reveal even worse errors that could be devastating to your production if they go unnoticed.

Preventative maintenance can also prevent costly downtime and repairs. Just like you would not quit changing the oil in your car, you should not quit doing routine maintenance of your scale. Rusty’s capable technicians can help with upkeep of your scale while also checking for and advising you on other factors that could potentially cause future issues.
