A Bench Scale, commonly referred to as a Bench Top Scale, table top weighing scale or Compact Scale – is a small scale that can fit on top of a work station or 'work bench', hence the name Bench Scale. Electronic bench scales are used for smaller weighing needs and more intricate processes, where the operator needs to be closer to the scale itself. Bench scale applications range from mixing, weighing, counting and checkweighing. Our bench scale and portable scale portfolio offers solutions from high-resolution bench scales and bench scales for wet and harsh environments to bench scales for dry and dusty environments. METTLER TOLEDO offers portable bench scales, a digital bench scale, and bench scales with ingress protected up to IP69k for heavy wash-down processes to suit any industrial environment. Boasting small footprints and capacities from 0.6 to 600 kg and verified resolution of up to 60,000e, METTLER TOLEDO bench scale offerings provide you innovative weighing functions for maximum efficiency with less operator effort.
