Designers and manufacturers of custom weighing systems must be mindful of many factors to deliver safe, reliable, and accurate scales for daily operation.

Through our experience consulting and servicing customers worldwide, we come across common scale design and installation errors that could be avoided with proper planning.

In this booklet, we illustrate 40 important recommendations with simple graphics that can help you get the best results from our weigh modules.

Is this guide for you?

This Dos and Don'ts guide relates to all custom tank, hopper, conveyor, and floor scales, and complements METTLER TOLEDO's Weigh Module Systems Handbook, which is the most comprehensive handbook on custom scale design.

The guide is an excellent resource for you if you relate to any of the following situations:

  • You are new to industrial weighing and need know-how on scale design and installation, including topics such as structural rigidity, piping design and scale stabilization.
  • You want to avoid common mistakes that impact the reliability and accuracy of your scale.
  • You are already familiar with our Weigh Module Systems Handbook but need a recap and checklist of the most important points.
