Industrial and professional weighing technology for all industries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is hardly an industry in which weighing does not take place – and none in which a measurement error would be without consequences. Whether it’s milligrams in a pharmaceutical laboratory or fifty tons on a truck scale: wherever weighing takes place, safety, justice and money are at stake. ESSMANN has been building scales for this responsibility since 1860 and today supplies the right weighing system for almost every industrial and professional application – from analytical scales with readability in the microgram range to legal-for-trade truck scales for several hundred tons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Industrial scales developed, built or serviced by ESSMANN cover a measuring range from 0.001 g to several tons and can handle simple weighing as well as checkweighing, legal-for-trade weighing, counting and dosing. Which scale is right for your application depends on the industry, environment and legal requirements. On this page you will find an overview of the industries in which ESSMANN scales are used today and which solutions have proven themselves there. Find your industry and talk to our scale manufacturers about your specific weighing task. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Construction industry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Especially our truck scales<\/a><\/strong> and bulk scales<\/a><\/strong> are used throughout the construction industry, especially in the building materials sector. ESSMANN scales can be found in gravel extraction, in quarries and – often mobile<\/a><\/strong> – directly on construction sites because they work precisely and reliably even in adverse environments. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Chemical industry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In chemical process engineering, the exact mass determines the recipe, safety and efficiency. We therefore supply a wide range of scales to the chemical and petrochemical industry, from laboratory scales<\/a><\/strong> through to rail vehicle scales<\/a><\/strong>. We also use sensors and load cells<\/a><\/strong> for precision scales, pallet scales, dynamic scales and truck scales. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Energy industry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our scales are used throughout the energy industry, from truck scales<\/a><\/strong> small biogas plants through to ultra-modern biomass power plants, which we also use for the automation<\/a><\/strong> around the yard management<\/a><\/strong> – for example with roller shutter control<\/a><\/strong> or system control.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Waste management and recycling industry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the waste disposal and recycling industry, ESSMANN scales demonstrate their strength in durability and precision even under constant stress in often adverse environments. Whether on the truck scales<\/a><\/strong> at the recycling center or as container scales<\/a><\/strong> in the sorting plant: here, quality is earned every day anew. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Healthcare<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In clinics, doctors’ surgeries, dialysis centers and nursing homes, exact body weight is a medical measurement – from infants on the baby scales<\/a><\/strong> to bariatric chair or bed scales for intensive care units. Medical scales with a measuring function are subject to legal metrology in Germany and must meet the requirements of the Medical Devices Ordinance; ESSMANN only supplies devices that meet these requirements and, on request, will take care of initial verification<\/a><\/strong> and recalibration<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Ports<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We have been at home in the ports ever since ESSMANN was founded. As a long-established Hanseatic company<\/a><\/strong> we have always supplied the North German ports with our portfolio of scales – from high-speed and platform scales to rail scales. rail<\/a><\/strong> or crane scales<\/a><\/strong>. ESSMANN scales also work in inland ports such as Duisburg<\/a><\/strong> and the major seaports such as Rotterdam<\/a><\/strong>, Antwerp<\/a><\/strong>, Piraeus<\/a><\/strong> and Valencia<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Agriculture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Companies in the agricultural and agricultural trade sectors also rely on ESSMANN scales, whether for checking harvest or fertilizer quantities, weighing animals or weighing products in the farm store on a store scales<\/a><\/strong> in the farm shop. Farmers in particular appreciate the remote control of our scales via app – directly from the tractor on the truck scales<\/a><\/strong> from. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Food industry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The possible applications in the food industry are almost unlimited: No food laboratory<\/a><\/strong>no processing production can do without professional scales<\/a><\/strong> without professional scales. Verifiable handling and container scales<\/a><\/strong> weigh masses in production, in the store price-calculating price-calculating scales<\/a><\/strong> scales are used in the shop, and at the end the customer weighs his purchase himself on the checkweigher<\/a><\/strong> on the checkweigher. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Logistics and transportation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whether on the pallet truck, on the road<\/a><\/strong> or on the track<\/a><\/strong>: Scales play an essential role in transportation and logistics to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Whether as a calculation factor or as overload protection – ESSMANN scales ensure precision, and on the track our UIC number recognition<\/a><\/strong> reliably assigns the weighing results to the correct wagon. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Metalworking industry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In metal processing, weight means quality, durability and safety. Here, among other things crane scales<\/a><\/strong> are used to measure weights and forces, for quality assurance and for warehouse management – indispensable in machines, containers and systems. Because the use of uncalibrated scales in commercial transactions is not permitted, we ensure that all industrially used scales are correctly calibration<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Pharmaceutical industry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From the analytical balance<\/a><\/strong> with readability in the microgram range for weighing active ingredients to the container<\/a><\/strong> and pallet scales in production and logistics, we cover the entire weighing chain of the pharmaceutical manufacturer. Because GMP-compliant processes must be fully documented and traceable, we accompany our scales with DAkkS calibration<\/a><\/strong>regular maintenance<\/a><\/strong> and spare parts availability of at least ten years – for minimal downtime. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Science, research & laboratory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In research facilities, university laboratories and testing institutes laboratory and analytical balances<\/a><\/strong> are the foundation of every reliable series of measurements – whether for weighing samples, determining density or gravimetric analysis. ESSMANN not only supplies the right equipment from the fine balance segment to robust platform balances, but also provides DAkkS calibration<\/a><\/strong> for the metrological traceability required by accreditations and funding projects. Maintenance, repair and test weights<\/a><\/strong> from a single source – so that your laboratory is measuring and not maintaining. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Pulp and paper industry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In paper production, everything is based on weight – from the raw material to the finished roll. Here, scales are used to precisely weigh raw materials and parts, monitor stocks and facilitate stocktaking. In production control, they help to monitor product quality and ensure compliance with standards. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
