Techstar Plastics Durable Replacement Scale for Polymer Basket Scales — Professional Grade for Canadian Food Service
Built with a metal housing and a 250 lb capacity, this scale head handles the abuse of daily commercial use. It's meant for operators who need accurate weight readings for linens, bulk produce, or industrial parts not a flimsy consumer dial. When you've got a laundry line pushing through 3,000 lbs of sheets per shift, you can't afford a scale that drifts halfway through the day.
Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Delivered Canada-wide all 10 provinces and 3 territories in 2-5 business days.
"We shipped a dozen of these to a Toronto commercial laundry last monththey replaced eight SCA-10 scales in one afternoon. The locking mechanism on the front holds zero even with heavy loads. The side adjustment is simple to tune. Keep a spare on hand; downtime on a basket scale slows your whole line."
In a Canadian commercial laundry, every minute counts. A busted scale head means you're guessing on load weights and that leads to off-balance wash loads, wasted chemicals, and longer cycle times. This replacement scale solves that. It mounts directly onto the basket frame, so you're back in operation in under ten minutes. Find it alongside other essentials in our non food range everything from shelving to thermometers.
