Recycling Technology Innovations, News
The waste and recycling industry requires heavy duty weighing equipment and scales that are manufactured to survive long periods of service and harsh environments.
From truck scales and onboard weighing systems to indicators and controllers, manufacturers have developed several heavy-duty weighing products suited for waste handling and recycling applications.
This Technology Zone offers an insight into the latest innovations in weighing systems and scales for waste management or recycling industries.
Many think of on-board check weighing scales as just scales that simply weigh product on the end of forks. However, many in manufacturing use SkidWeigh ED series products for so much more, as tools to drive efficiencies and boost productivity.
