Water...what water?

We have several customers in the Aggregate industry and cleanup under scale can be troublesome. Usually the only good way to clean from under a truck scale is by using a high pressure water line to "blast" the material from under a scale. This makes everything wet and when wiring and electronics get wet they stop working properly unless it is a perfectly sealed system. What in this world is perfect? Last week we were working at one of these locations where the newer scales are hydraulic while the older sales in use are fully electronic. During a conversation with the manager he stated in the last five years that the hydraulic scales had only one service call total (3 scales) while the electroinic scales were constantly breaking down (over 25 service calls per year on five scales). Same application! Lifetime warranty means no problems!keith@pioneerscale.com

Reason #3 -$5 wire that becomes a $1000 service call

With hydraulic scales there are no wires under the scale to be damaged by water, rakes, hoes, claw hammers, shovels, brooms, mice, rabbits, armadillos, skunks, car hoods,vandals, ice, blow torches, pressure washers, steam cleaners, dry rot and many others. All of the problems associated with housekeeping and electronic scales are eliminated with the investment of a hydraulic scale system.
