In and around the Dallas, TX area as well as throughout the rest of the Metroplex, food and beverage production is one of the fastest growing sectors. For new companies that are just setting up production lines or for older companies that are replacing equipment and upgrading, making the right choice in components of the system is critical.
One very important component in any processing or manufacturing system in the food and beverage industry is having the right scale. For food and beverage production, stainless steel scales are typically the scales that are required to meet industry regulations and standards.
The Benefits of Stainless Steel
There are several different benefits to using stainless steel scales in any type of Dallas, TX production facility. The first is the ability to choose the grade of the stainless steel and the second is to choose the specific composition of the stainless to ensure it is the ideal match for the specific operational conditions.
Top scales made of stainless will be highly resistant to corrosion, which is critical in the production of food or beverages. Corrosion of materials used in the production of food or beverages allows rust particles or even larger flakes or pieces to end up in the final product.
Additionally, corrosion poses a risk for bacterial growth on equipment. As this is a very serious issue in any production line, choosing the best quality stainless steel to eliminate corrosion and ensure easy cleaning and disinfecting will be critical.
Design of the Scale
The top lines of stainless steel scales for the food and beverage production industry also have design features that make these scales durable, reliable and safe to use. For example, specific welding techniques are used to create perfect welds without any areas that can harbor bacteria or contaminants.
These types of scales are also designed with seals that protect load cells and electronics from exposure to moisture, even when routine wash down protocols are in place. This extends the life of the scale while also ensuring full compliance with industry regulations.
