ATEX Bench Scales

When working in hazardous or potentially explosive environments, choosing the right weighing equipment isn't simply a matter of precision—it’s a question of safety, compliance and reliability. At Scalesmart, our range of ATEX-approved bench scales is specifically designed to meet the demands of such environments while delivering high quality weighing performance. We partner with leading manufacturers and provide full certification so you can be confident every scale you select is intrinsically safe and fit for purpose.

Trusted Models & Manufacturers

We carry a diverse selection of bench scales from top brands including Dini Argeo, MWS (Micro Weighing Solutions) and Radwag — all backed by Scalesmart’s expert service. These models vary in capacity and zone-rating to suit everything from light duty laboratory use in Zone 2/22 to heavy use in Zone 1/21 installations. For instance, Dini Argeo’s “Easy Pesa 2GD” series is built for Zone 1/21 bench-scale use, while the “Easy Pesa 3GD” suits Zone 2/22 environments. These options make it possible to match the right scale precisely to your zone classification and weighing requirement.

In addition to off-the-shelf models, Scalesmart offers bespoke bench scale solutions built in-house—utilising trusted load cell manufacturers such as Flintec and Vishay. These allow you to address unique application demands, whatever your industry: chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food processing, or any setting where explosive atmospheres may appear.

Key Features That Matter

Our ATEX bench scales are engineered with a number of critical features that make them suitable for hazardous areas:

• Zone-rated certification: Each scale is designated for either Gas zones (Zone 1, Zone 2) or Dust zones (Zone 21, Zone 22), ensuring you select one compatible with your site classification.

• Durable construction: Many models use stainless steel enclosures, sealed load cells, and rugged design to withstand harsh cleaning regimes, humid conditions or dusty atmospheres.

• High precision & capacity range: Our models cover small capacities—from a few kilograms—to heavy-duty bench scales up to 300 kg or more, making them flexible enough for a range of scenarios.

• Complete documentation: For compliance and audit purposes, every scale is supplied with ATEX approval certificates and a certificate of conformity. We support you so you can demonstrate full compliance with regulations.

• Expert support & advice: With over two decades of service in industrial weighing, our team can help you select the right scale, understand zone classifications, and ensure proper installation and calibration.

Applications & Industry Use

ATEX bench scales from Scalesmart are a go-to solution across multiple industries where risk of explosion must be mitigated while maintaining accuracy and throughput. Typical environments include:

• Chemical and petrochemical plants, where flammable gases or liquids are handled

• Food and beverage processing, in particular sites where dusts (e.g., flour, sugar) create ignition risk

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing, where solvents or vapours require intrinsically safe equipment

• Manufacturing plants with heavy dust or gas exposure in Zone 21/22 or Zone 1/2 environments

No matter the industry, our bench scales deliver both safety compliance and weighing performance.

Choosing the Right Scale

Selecting the proper ATEX bench scale starts with two key factors:

1. Zone classification of your hazardous area (Gas: Zone 1/2, Dust: Zone 21/22)

2. Capacity and accuracy requirement for your process (how much you weigh and how precise it needs to be)

From there, you can consider features like stainless-steel housing, easy-clean platforms, load cell technology, and connectivity (e.g., RS-232/USB) for data capture. Our team at Scalesmart will guide you through the process—from selecting a suitable model through installation, calibration and maintenance.

With ATEX bench scales from Scalesmart, you don’t have to compromise—get compliance, durability and accuracy in one. We invite you to explore our full bench scale range, or contact our experts for help finding a custom solution tailored to your application.
