This is a direct replacement scale head for Techstar Plastics polymer basket scales models SCA-10 and SCA-20.

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.

Industry Insider Tip: Before installing, check that the locking mechanism on the front is fully engaged. We see a lot of calls from operators who forget to tighten itthen the scale drifts mid-shift.

Jamie's Take · Senior Operator @ ChickenPieces

"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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to store Techstar Plastics Durable Replacement Scale for maximum shelf life?+
This replacement scale is a mechanical device, not a consumable, so shelf life isn't a concern. Store it in a dry area away from direct moisture and extreme temperatures. Keep it in its original packaging or on a clean shelf to prevent dust buildup on the moving parts. For best longevity, store it at room temperature, 15-25°C, and avoid stacking heavy items on top.
Is Techstar Plastics Durable Replacement Scale compatible with standard commercial machines?+
Yes, this replacement scale is designed specifically for Techstar Plastics polymer basket scales, models SCA-10 and SCA-20. It also works as a standalone scale. The mounting pattern matches those basket frames. If you have a different brand or model, measure the bolt spacing; it may still work, but we recommend checking compatibility with your existing equipment.
What materials is Techstar Plastics Durable Replacement Scale made of?+
The Techstar Plastics Durable Replacement Scale is made of metal likely a zinc alloy or steel housing, with a plastic adjustment knob and locking mechanism. The internal spring mechanism provides the weighing action. The metal construction gives it the strength to handle 250 lb loads and repeated use in commercial laundry environments.
How to maintain Techstar Plastics Durable Replacement Scale for long-term use?+
To keep this scale accurate and long-lasting, calibrate it weekly by setting to zero using the side adjustment. Clean the scale head with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove lint and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washers. Check the locking mechanism monthly for wear. Replace the scale if the dial becomes hard to read or if it no longer holds zero.
What are the dimensions and weight specifications of the Techstar Plastics Durable Replacement Scale?+
The Techstar Plastics Durable Replacement Scale measures 10.5 inches in length, 13 inches in width, and 3 inches in height. It has a maximum capacity of 250 pounds, suitable for weighing laundry loads in commercial settings. The scale head is made of metal and the unit weight is not specified, but it's designed to be lightweight enough for easy installation on polymer basket scales.
How long does the Techstar Plastics Replacement Scale last under typical commercial use?+
Under typical commercial laundry use operating multiple shifts daily, weighing loads up to 250 lb the scale should last several years. The metal construction and simple mechanical design are durable. However, lifespan depends on environment: exposure to excessive moisture or physical abuse can shorten it. We recommend ordering a spare to minimize downtime; many operators replace scale heads every 3-5 years as part of preventive maintenance.
What is the cleaning and maintenance procedure for the Techstar Plastics Replacement Scale?+
For cleaning, wipe the scale with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove lint, dust, and light soil. Do not submerge in water or use high-pressure sprayers this can damage the internal mechanism. Calibrate by turning the side adjustment knob to zero before each use. Periodically inspect the locking mechanism and side adjustment for smooth operation. Lubrication is not required.
Can I use this Techstar replacement scale as a standalone scale without the basket?+
Yes, this scale can function as a standalone unit. It has a flat platform and can be placed on a counter or floor to weigh items up to 250 lb. However, it is designed with mounting brackets to attach to Techstar polymer basket scales. For standalone use, ensure it sits on a stable, level surface to maintain accuracy.
Does the Techstar Plastics Replacement Scale come with installation instructions?+
The product ships with basic instructions for mounting on compatible basket scales. The process typically involves removing the old scale head, aligning the new one to the mounting holes, and tightening the hardware. No special tools are required. If you need additional guidance, our team at hello@chickenpieces.ca can assist.
Is this replacement scale compatible with other brands of basket scales?+
The scale is specifically designed for Techstar Plastics SCA-10 and SCA-20 polymer basket scales. It may fit other basket scales with similar bolt patterns, but we cannot guarantee compatibility. We recommend measuring the mounting hole spacing on your existing basket frame and comparing it to the scale's dimensions before ordering.
