Vandome & Hart - Vandome and Hart IH500 Pallet scale

• Warehousing and logistics for verifying incoming and outgoing palletised goods.
• Manufacturing facilities for weighing raw materials or finished products on pallets.
• Food processing plants for bulk ingredient weighing or final product dispatch.
• Recycling centres for accurately measuring large volumes of materials.

Typical capacity

Pallet scales of this class commonly handle loads from 500kg up to 3000kg, with this unit specified up to 1500kg.

Platform dimensions

Units like the IH500 typically feature platforms sized to accommodate standard UK and Euro pallets, often around 1200mm x 1200mm or 1500mm x 1500mm.

Minimum weight

For accurate measurement, the minimum weight for this type of industrial pallet scale is commonly around 5kg to 10kg.

Power supply

Most industrial pallet scales operate on standard single-phase mains electricity (230V, 50Hz) or may be battery-powered for portability.

Construction material

Typically constructed from robust mild steel with a durable painted finish, or stainless steel for hygiene-sensitive environments.

Readability (e)

The readability, or increment (e), for industrial pallet scales is commonly between 0.1kg and 0.5kg, indicating the smallest measurable change.

• What is the typical lifespan of a used industrial pallet scale?

  With proper maintenance, a well-built industrial pallet scale can have a long operational life, often exceeding 10-15 years. Regular calibration and care are key.

• Can this scale be integrated with existing warehouse management systems?

• Is calibration required for a used pallet scale?

• What are the common maintenance requirements for a pallet scale?

• What kind of foundation is needed for a pallet scale?

Multihead weighers and packing scales are regarded as reliable workhorses in food processing operations. Buyers typically value their speed, accuracy and consistency in portion control and packaging. When purchasing used equipment, buyers should inspect calibration records, verify all hoppers and sensors function properly, and confirm spare parts availability for the specific model. The main strength across industry feedback is their durability and relatively straightforward maintenance, though worn mechanical components and calibration drift are common wear issues to assess before purchase.
