Produce Safety is a must

Posted on June 10, 2010 by Scale Man

Harmful bacteria that may be in the soil or water where produce grows may come in contact with the fruits and vegetables and contaminate them. Or, fresh produce may become contaminated after it is harvested, such as during preparation or storage. Eating contaminated produce (or fruit and vegetable juices made from contaminated produce) can lead to foodborne illness, which can cause serious – and sometimes fatal – infections. However, it’s easy to help protect yourself and your family from illness by following these safe handling tips for produce.

Manual Tare or Keyboard Tare Feature

Posted on May 17, 2010 by Scale Man

If you use a price computing scale, many times you may need to “tare” off the weight of a container, box, bucket, etc… Quite often, it is as simple as placing the empty container on the scale platform and pressing the “Tare” button. By pressing the “Tare” Button, you have taken the weight of the container out of the equation and you are now weighing in the “Net” mode. Place your items in the container, enter the price per pound and you’re all set. This is what they call Manual (Pushbutton) Tare. You place an empty container on the pan, then press “Tare”. The Weight display will show a net value of “0.00”, and the NET annunciator will turn on. Remove the container, and the negative value displayed will be equivalent to the Tare weight.

Now is the Time to Check Out and Fix Up Your Scale

Posted on January 12, 2010 by Scale Man

This month is a great time to take out your old faithful price computing scale and give it a good work out.  Plug it in and make sure it powers up and charges if it has a battery.  It might even be a good idea to order a spare battery to prepare for the spring.  Make sure all the buttons on the keypad work.  This is especially important if you type in prices per pound using the number keys.  Make sure the displays work on both front and back so that you and your customer are not “in the dark”. 

Finally, take a look at the selection of price computing scales currently available this winter.  You may find a deal too good to pass on.  Plus, you can always use a good backup unit or add a second scale to your produce stand so that your customers are able to purchase produce from you as fast as ever.

Capacity and Readability

Posted on December 15, 2009 by Scale Man

What capacity do I need?  My old scale had a 30 lb capacity, do I need a 30 lb capacity on my new model?  What does the 0.01 lb mean?

Rechargeable Battery or Flashlight Batteries?

Posted on October 13, 2009 by Scale Man

Should I buy a price computing scale with built in rechargeable battery or should I buy a price computing scale with replaceable “C” or “D” flashlight batteries?  The choice is really up to you.  The advantage of the internal rechargeable battery is convenience.  Just plug your scale up the night before you plan to take it to the market and it should work great all day out at the market or farm.  Disadvantage is, eventually the battery is going to stop working and will have to be replaced.  To replace a battery is Continue reading →
