Good Weighing Practices For The
Food & Beverage Industry
Precise Weight Readings
To ensure maximum accuracy, it’s critical to calibrate your scales regularly. Those operating in the food and beverage industry must also take into account the disparities between the weight of the food under normal temperatures and when frozen.Maintaining Total Cleanliness
Different food types require storage in varying temperatures. This factor can cause liquid to accumulate on your scales, causing food particles to stick to them. Not cleaning your weighing equipment thoroughly can impact the accuracy of weight readings. Make sure your scales remain clean at all times to avoid disparities in food portions.Keep Your Scales Protected from Environmental Factors
Packaging, processing, and storing food products require different temperatures. To ensure your scales remain well-maintained, it’s critical to understand how different temperatures affect them. Once you understand how different temperatures impact your weighing instruments, you can take steps to protect them from pitting, cracks, rust, and other damage.Revolutionize Your Food & Beverage Weighing Solutions!

Frequently Asked Questions about Food & Beverage Weighing
We recommend hygienic-rated bench scales, floor/platform scales, check-weighers, bag/tote filling stations and batching systems — all built to meet wash-down and sanitary standards.
At minimum twice per year is common, but the right interval depends on usage, environment and your quality/traceability requirements.
Equipment must often meet or exceed sanitary design and wash-down standards, and support traceability and safety protocols such as HACCP, FDA, USDA and SQF.
Accurate weighing supports consistent recipes, correct portioning, fewer off-spec batches, less waste and stronger cost control.
Yes, we offer integration with PLCs, database systems, labeling/print-apply systems and bag/tote filling systems to streamline operations.
Temperature changes (e.g., freezer vs ambient), moisture, food dust or debris and cleaning processes (wash-down) can all affect performance — selecting the right equipment and maintenance schedule matters.
Regular cleaning (to remove food residue and moisture), routine inspections, proper calibration and ensuring protective elements (like covers/seals) are intact are all critical.
Yes, we offer rental equipment as a flexible option for seasonal peaks or project-based needs, allowing you to deploy calibrated scales without full purchase investment.
Seek a provider experienced in food & beverage environments, well-versed in sanitary and regulatory requirements, capable of integration services, calibration / certification and with regional support.
Traceability ensures you can track ingredient weights, production batches and labeling, supporting quality audits, recalls and compliance with food-safety programs.
By minimizing over-filling and under-filling, reducing scrap, maintaining consistent product weights and optimizing ingredient usage, you improve yield and protect margins.
SSI will assess your process (batching, storage, cleaning), recommend scales/equipment that meet sanitary and accuracy requirements, integrate control systems, perform calibration and train operators for your facility.
