In the industrial weighing equipment sector, “stability, precision, and durability” remain the unwavering core demands of customers. Particularly for equipment suppliers catering to harsh environments such as food processing and chemical industries, the quality of upstream products directly determines their market competitiveness. EuroScale, a European industrial scale supplier (using a pseudonym to protect customer privacy), once faced complaint pressures from downstream clients due to frequent issues like accuracy drift and corrosion damage in the platform scales it procured. However, its cooperation with Microtess not only solved this problem but also became a strong support for its expansion into harsh-environment application markets.
With over a decade of experience in distributing industrial weighing equipment, EuroScale serves clients across diverse sectors including food processing and chemical production. The common requirements of these scenarios impose extremely high standards on the platform scales it sources: the scales must withstand humid, dusty, and chemically corrosive environments, maintain weighing precision during long-term use, and adapt to the diverse installation and usage habits of downstream customers.
Prior to collaborating with Microtess, the ordinary carbon steel platform scales procured by EuroScale frequently failed to meet expectations: in humid food processing workshops, the scale bodies quickly developed rust, with a service life of less than 6 months; in chemical workshops, dust infiltration into sensors often caused precision deviations, leading to errors in customers’ raw material proportioning; some clients reported that the equipment was prone to damage during transportation, requiring professional debugging to restore precision after arrival—this not only increased after-sales costs but also harmed the cooperative reputation.
To address these issues, EuroScale began searching for platform scale suppliers that combine durability, precision, and adaptability. After multiple rounds of sample testing and qualification review, it ultimately decided to cooperate with Microtess and procured a batch of TYG Series Carbon Steel Platform Scales.
Targeting the scenario-specific pain points of EuroScale and its downstream clients, the Microtess team developed an exclusive solution by deeply integrating the advantages of the MT Series Carbon Steel Platform Scale with actual demands:
Considering the high-humidity cleaning scenarios in food processing and corrosion risks in the chemical industry, the MT Series adopts an all-carbon steel structure for its scale body. The round tube structure undergoes dual processes of sandblasting and brushing, paired with a 2-3mm thickened platform—creating double protection from material selection to craftsmanship. Notably, the platform structure is reinforced through a special stamping process; combined with a thickened and strengthened base, its load-bearing capacity is 30% higher than that of ordinary scales, while also effectively resisting daily impacts and chemical erosion.
Meanwhile, the scale is equipped with stainless steel indicators and sensors with an IP68 protection rating, ensuring complete dustproof and waterproof performance. Even during high-pressure washing operations in food processing workshops, internal components remain undamaged—fundamentally solving the corrosion and service life issues previously faced by EuroScale.
To address the vulnerability of equipment during international transportation, Microtess has incorporated a thoughtful design into the production process: the fixing screws of the four scale feet are pre-tightened at the junction between the upper and lower platform to secure the structure. This design effectively locks the scale body, preventing sensor displacement caused by bumps during transportation. With this “factory-ready protection” feature, EuroScale’s goods can be put into use directly upon arrival in Europe without professional debugging, significantly reducing after-sales debugging costs and customer complaint rates.
The core high-precision sensor provides reliable support for weighing data. Equipped with functions such as automatic zero-setting, tare weighing, and check weighing, it not only meets the precision requirements for chemical raw material proportioning but also improves the weighing efficiency of food processing clients—truly achieving “both precision and efficiency.”
To meet the diverse installation needs of different clients, the MT Series indicator supports three installation methods: desktop standalone, vertical integrated, and wall-mounted, allowing customers to choose freely based on workshop space. For explosion-proof requirements in some chemical workshops, the equipment is equipped with an explosion-proof indicator featuring a detachable charging design. Combined with AC/DC dual-power supply, it can operate normally even in areas with unstable power supply or during power outages.
Additionally, Microtess can customize platform sizes according to the production scale of downstream clients, fundamentally solving EuroScale’s problem of “being unable to match diverse needs with a single specification.”
Currently, the first batch of MT Series Carbon Steel Platform Scales procured by EuroScale has completed production and debugging, and is about to be shipped to Europe by sea. During the preliminary sample testing phase, the equipment has gained high recognition from EuroScale with the following performances:
Microtess’ carbon steel platform scales not only solved our quality pain points but also gave us more confidence when facing downstream clients,” said the procurement manager of EuroScale during acceptance. “In the future, we plan to make the MT Series our core recommended product to cover more weighing needs in harsh environments.
EuroScale’s cooperation case embodies Microtess’ product philosophy of “scenario-centric and quality-oriented.” Whether facing humid corrosion in food processing or explosion-proof requirements in the chemical industry, the MT Series Carbon Steel Platform Scale can create value for customers with its precise performance, durable quality, and flexible design.
