Abstract:

This invention is directed to a clean-in-place, industrial floor scale having a removable deck and a weighing capacity up to about 5,000 pounds. The removable deck is fabricated from a nonmetallic material such as a polyethylene or polypropylene sheet, or a reinforced fiberglass and weighs less than about eighty pounds. The base frame of the scale is preferably stainless steel, and is also relatively lightweight, being about 140 pounds. One worker can lift and move the floor scale for daily sanitary cleaning when it is used in a food, chemical or pharmaceutical plant, without requiring a forklift, hoist or other motorized equipment.
