Frequently asked questions about professional scale maintenance
Why is regular maintenance of scales so important?
Because it ensures the functional reliability, accuracy and service life of your weighing technology. Maintenance protects against breakdowns, reduces follow-up costs and ensures compliance with legal requirements – especially for legal-for-trade scales.
What are the benefits of professional maintenance for accuracy?
If a scale is regularly maintained and calibrated, it reliably delivers precise measurement results. Without maintenance, deviations can occur that cause economic damage – e.g. when weighing goods, legal disputes or complaints.
Can costly breakdowns really be prevented through maintenance?
Yes. Our specialists recognize early warning signs of damage, e.g. due to weather, mechanical stress or soiling. Early repairs and cleaning prevent unplanned downtime – especially in sensitive production or logistics processes.
Is maintenance also necessary for calibration?
Absolutely. Professional maintenance ensures that your scales are ready for calibration. Without adjustment and inspection, incorrect calibrations or repetitions can occur, which costs time and money. On request, ESSMANN can take care of the complete preparation and coordination with the verification office.
How does maintenance affect the service life of the scale?
Regular care and proper maintenance will significantly extend the service life of mechanical and electronic components. This reduces new purchase cycles and secures the investment in your weighing technology in the long term.
