Manufacturing
Rice Lake's vast selection of high-quality products is available in the broadest range of capacities to fit nearly every manufacturing weighing need.
Meeting Every Manufacturing Weighing Need
Manufacturing businesses will benefit from Rice Lake’s vast selection of high-quality products. Equipment is available in the broadest range of capacities to fit almost any weighing need. From counting scales, bench scales and checkweighers to forklift scale attachments and floor scales, Rice Lake’s cutting-edge technology can be put to work for virtually every aspect of manufacturing processes.
Making It Count
Counting scales are an essential tool for accurately counting and inventorying large quantities of small parts. Counting scales are very similar to other scales in terms of weighing, but perform additional functions of division and multiplication based on the internal resolution. Rice Lake’s Counterpart® is a configurable indicator with amazingly precise internal resolution. It counts any part—from tiny resistors to heavy engine parts— accurately, quickly and easily. WeighVault® software can also be used to help businesses harness a network of counting scales and improve inventory tracking.
For shipping and receiving, general material handling needs and weight-based assembly processes, bench scales from Rice Lake have been constructed for dependability inside and out. Rice Lake’s BenchMark™ series of bench scales features a signature design with rigid steel frames and incredible performance. Choose mild steel or stainless steel—either way, the BenchMark’s heavy-duty construction provides durability, sensitivity and long life for a variety of manufacturing weighing applications.
Offering high-performance features with unmatched ease of use, checkweighing devices are designed to excel in industrial processing. For static applications, Rice Lake’s CW-90X over/under checkweigher brings advanced weighing features and efficiency to the production line. The CW-90X offers a stainless steel construction and an extra-strength piezo keypad made to withstand sharp knife-point contacts. With an IP69K rating to survive daily sanitary washdowns along with NSF certification, the CW-90X assures the highest level of compliance for production plants.
Built for Demanding Environments
For large material handling in manufacturing facilities, Rice Lake’s RoughDeck® floor scales are the toughest, most accurate floor scales available. RoughDeck’s rugged and durable design minimizes deck deflection and extraneous forces that could damage load cells. These features, along with RoughDeck’s superior structural design, distinguish it from other floor scales on the market.
Speed up logistics operations in manufacturing plants by mounting a scale and indicator directly to a forklift. Rice Lake’s CLS Series forklift scales have been engineered for even the busiest and most demanding warehouse settings. The CLS Series is compatible with Class II and III forklifts and can be used with several different models of Rice Lake indicators. Rice Lake’s CLS Series forklift scale enhances efficiency in any shipping department or loading bay.
Rice Lake has been a leader in creating manufacturing weighing solutions for challenging applications since 1946. As a manufacturing business itself, Rice Lake understands the demands for high-quality products to speed up processes and increase efficiencies. Because of this, Rice Lake offers the best service, selection and speed in the market.
