ATEX Floor Scales

When you operate in a hazardous or regulated environment where explosive atmospheres may develop, standard weighing equipment simply isn’t enough. Choosing an ATEX-certified floor scale from Scalesmart means you benefit from both industrial quality and safety compliance. Our floor scales are purpose-designed for use in Zone 1/21 and Zone 2/22 areas, offering the heavy-duty performance required in large-scale operations whilst maintaining intrinsic safety.

Top Models & Leading Manufacturers
We partner with trusted names such as Dini Argeo, Radwag and our parent-company manufacturer MWS Ltd, to deliver certified ATEX floor scale platforms. For example, the LPS/EX range by MWS is designed in the UK with capacities up to 3,000 kg, low profile (≈ 75 mm height), and built-in load cells from Flintec to withstand hazardous atmospheres.

Key Features That Make the Difference

• Zone-rated certification: Our scales are rated for Zone 1/21 or Zone 2/22 – ensuring suitability for gas/vapour and dust explosion risk areas.

• Heavy-duty construction: Stainless steel or epoxy-coated mild steel decks, sealed IP68 load cells, and optional hygienic finishes for food or chemical processing.

• High capacity & low profile: Platforms designed for heavy loads (1,000-3,000 kg and higher) with loading ramps or forklift access built in for logistical ease.

• Full ATEX documentation: Every scale is supplied with full ATEX certification, conformity paperwork and tailored to your zone classification and site requirements.

• Application flexibility: Whether it’s batching, vessel weighing, IBCs, drums or pallets in explosion-risk zones, the floor scales from Scalesmart can be configured accordingly.

Applications & Industry Use

• Chemical and petrochemical plants where large vessels, IBCs or drums hold flammable products

• Food and beverage sites with dust hazards (e.g., flour, sugar) where heavy ingredient loads must be weighed safely

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing plants using solvents, powders or bulk materials in ATEX-rated zones

• Logistics or manufacturing environments where heavy items are weighed in Zone 1/21 or 2/22 atmospheres

How to Choose the Right Scale

Begin by assessing:

1. Your zone classification (Is the area rated Zone 1/21 or Zone 2/22?)

2. The capacity, size and loading method for your floor scale (e.g., 1,000 kg vs 3,000 kg)

3. The environmental demands (stainless steel vs mild steel, hygiene needs, cleaning regime)

4. The documentation & integration: Do you need legal-for-trade approval, ramps, data connectivity, process weighing?
