In the aggregate and concrete industry, precision scales are essential for ensuring the correct mix ratios of raw materials like sand, gravel, and cement. Accurate weighing guarantees consistent quality, enhances structural integrity, and optimizes resource use, leading to cost savings and regulatory compliance.
Industrial scales from American Scale, play a critical role in the aggregate and concrete industry by ensuring accurate measurements of raw materials like crushed stone, asphalt, sand, coal, or even gravel. These scales guarantee that the correct proportions are used during batching, enhancing the strength and durability of the final concrete product. Accurate weighing ensures compliance with industry standards, improves quality control, and fosters reliability in construction projects.
Advanced calibration and maintenance services are essential for sustaining long-term precision. Skilled technicians offer on-site calibration and preventative maintenance, minimizing downtime and extending the lifespan of equipment. This ensures that producers consistently achieve optimal mix ratios, operational efficiency, and cost savings.
Industrial scales accurately measure extracted raw materials, ensuring efficient transport and reducing waste during the initial stages of production.
Scales provide precise measurements of crushed and sorted aggregates, facilitating consistent material quality and preparation for concrete production.
Accurate weighing of each component in the concrete mix ensures correct proportions, enhancing mix quality and meeting project specifications.
Scales are used to weigh samples for testing, ensuring that the concrete meets required standards for strength, consistency, and durability.
Weighbridges confirm the weight of materials loaded onto trucks, ensuring compliance with transportation limits and accurate delivery quantities.
Regular weighing of stored materials helps maintain accurate inventory levels, optimizing supply chain management and preventing shortages or overstocking.

Regular calibration and preventative maintenance are essential to ensure long-term precision, minimize downtime, and extend equipment lifespan.
Yes, many industrial scales are designed to be durable and reliable even in challenging environments, with heavy-duty construction and protective features.
At a bare minimum you should calibrate your scales once a year. It could be as frequent as once a month.
Your scales should comply with certifications and standards relevant to your industry. Common ones include NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) for accuracy and traceability, ISO 9001 for quality management systems, and specific industry-related standards.
We are ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited.
Our calibration weights are traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). We issue certificates for all calibrations.
Yes, belt scales are used on conveyor belts to continuously measure the weight of materials being transported, ensuring a steady flow and accurate batching.
Advancements include improved sensor technology for better accuracy, wireless data transmission, integration with IoT (Internet of Things) systems, and more robust materials to withstand harsh environments.
Accurate weighing ensures the correct proportion of ingredients, which is crucial for the strength, durability, and quality of the concrete mix. It also helps in maintaining compliance with regulations and minimizing material costs.
