All work performed is efficiently documented, we supply Quality Assurance Reports containing test results and service notes for each scale we supply, service or repair. All our technicians are experienced verifiers of trade approved weighing equipment and sustain regular testing and training to keep their expertise in the field sharp!
When electronic and mechanical weighing equipment positioned, it should be calibrated & where applicable Trade Verified, and then periodically checked. Frequent maintenance and calibration of scales and other weighing equipment is vital, as over time temperature change, aging, power variations and motion, can influence a machine´s accuracy and reliability.
