FAQ
What is a drum scale?
A drum scale is a type of industrial scale that is specifically designed to weigh large drums or barrels. It is commonly used in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing, where large quantities of liquid or semi-solid materials need to be weighed accurately. The drum scale typically consists of a platform with weight sensors or load cells beneath it, which are capable of weighing the drum and its contents. Some drum scales have a ramp on one or multiple ends of the platform, which allows the drum to be rolled onto the scale. The weight of the drum and its contents is displayed on a scale indicator, which may be mounted on the scale or remotely located. Drum scales are important tools for ensuring accurate inventory management and batch control in industries where large volumes of liquids or semi-solid materials are handled and processed.
