CLEAN BEFORE YOU CALIBRATE.

So, what is scale calibration?

Scale calibration is the process of testing and verifying a scale’s accuracy against a certified reference standard. For landfills, properly calibrated truck scales help ensure that incoming and outgoing waste is weighed accurately and recorded correctly. A clean scale is the first step toward accurate weighing and reliable operation.

Proper cleaning helps improve access, safety, and reliability while reducing the risk of unnecessary downtime.

WHY CLEANING COMES FIRST

A thorough cleaning gives calibration technicians better access to the scale while removing mud, trash, and accumulated debris.

It also helps expose potential hazards and maintenance concerns, such as frayed or exposed wiring, while clearing obstructions that can restrict scale movement and access to critical components.

WHY ERS DOES IT BEST

ERS goes beyond surface-level cleaning.

Our crews remove plates where needed, clear debris, clean beneath and around the scale, and target joints, ramps, load cells, decks, and other hard-to-reach areas.

We are also confined-space qualified for pit scale cleaning, allowing us to address areas that can be difficult to access.

We don’t just clean what you can see. We reach the areas that matter.

DON’T LET WINTER WEIGH YOU DOWN.

Thorough cleaning isn’t just important for day to day operation, it can also help you prepare for winter.

When mud, debris, and moisture are left to build up, they can freeze in place and restrict scale movement.

AND WHEN YOUR SCALE STOPS… SO DOES YOUR OPERATION.

Don’t wait for the freeze. Clean before you calibrate. Prepare before winter.
