TEM Industrial Scale and Weighing Automation Solutions

When comparing TEM industrial scale prices, the maximum kilogram capacity a unit can hold is not enough on its own. Graduation or display resolution, platform size, single or multiple load cells, approval status for commercial use, price-computing function, and whether data is transferred to a printer or computer all determine a weighing system's role.

TEM is a Turkey-based weighing brand operated by Tüm Elektronik Mühendislik Sanayi ve Ticaret Ltd. Şti. Founded in 1995, the company has developed its product range around electronic scales, platform scales and custom weighing systems spanning 220 grams to 50 tonnes. Retail scales, weighing and counting models, platform scales, crane/pallet-truck systems, indicators, load cells and software solutions form the brand's core areas of work.

Why Should Capacity and Graduation Be Read Together?

A scale's capacity shows the maximum load it can weigh, while graduation shows the measurement step on the display. A unit with a 30-kilogram capacity can be offered at different resolutions of 1, 5 or 10 grams. Fine graduation matters for small portion preparation, while a large platform and high capacity matter for heavy crate weighing.

Choosing a scale with unnecessarily high capacity does not always offer an advantage. A large maximum load can reduce the visibility of small gram changes. Spices, coffee or small-part counting should not be assigned to the same weighing unit as a meat crate or flour sack.

Working continuously at the limit of maximum capacity can increase risk to the load cell and mechanical platform. Product packaging, the transport cart and sudden loading impact should be factored into the safety margin.

M-Approved and Standard Weighing Systems

For a scale used in commercial sales, labelling or price calculation, compliance with the relevant legal metrology requirements should be checked. TEM reports a certification history related to EU type approval and Green M-marked product manufacturing. It should not be assumed that every model is automatically approved.

Series such as EKO, EGE, SRP and others marked as "approved" in Mutfak10's product names offer options aimed at commercial use needs. Approval scope, capacity and graduation should be confirmed from the product label and documentation.

A model used only for in-house production control, recipe or warehouse weighing may not need the same requirements as a unit selling to customers by kilogram. The business should clearly define its intended use before purchase.

EKO Series Platform Scales

TEM EKO platform scales are aimed at kitchen, warehouse, market, production and dispatch areas with different platform sizes and capacities. Active products on Mutfak10 include a 40 × 50 cm platform at 150 kilograms, 50 × 60 and 60 × 70 cm platforms at 300 or 500 kilograms, and larger platforms in the 600-kilogram class.

Platform size should not be smaller than the base of the crate being weighed. A crate overhanging the edge can cause uneven load transfer onto the platform, difficulty reading the display, and a tipping risk.

Battery-powered models can keep working during a power cut or in mobile use. Battery duration varies with environment, display backlighting and usage intensity. The unit's fixed location in the professional area and access for charging should be planned together.

EGE, SRP and ATA Price-Computing Scales

The EGE series offers flat pan, T-neck or folding-neck display options. A neck display can make it easier for the customer to see weight, unit price and total from the other side. A flat body uses less height on a narrow counter.

SRP models are aimed at flat or bowl-pan price-computing applications. A bowl pan can limit fruit, vegetables or round products from sliding off the platform. A flat pan offers a different layout for packaged products and trays.

The ATA series includes options aimed at higher-kilogram price-computing needs. At a market stall, grocery store or production sales point, display direction, battery and carrying arrangement should be evaluated alongside capacity.

How Do Counting Scales Calculate Piece Count?

A counting scale calculates average unit weight from the total weight of a known sample quantity. It then divides the total weight on the platform by this value to display an estimated piece count.

If the weights of screws, packaging, small food pieces or production components differ from each other, the count result can deviate. The sample quantity should be sufficient, and pieces with very low unit weight should suit the scale's graduation.

The EGE series counting products on Mutfak10 are offered with different capacity and approval options such as 6 kilograms. It should not be assumed that counting function and commercial price-computing function exist together on the same model.

Multi-Load-Cell and Ramp Platform Scales

Single-load-cell platforms are aimed at central loading on small and medium platform sizes. On large platforms, multi-load-cell systems measuring from four or more points can be used. Load distribution across different areas of the platform is managed with this structure.

MLB series ramp scales help a transport cart, cage or pallet be driven onto the platform. Ramp incline, platform height and the loaded weight of the cart should be evaluated from a staff-safety standpoint.

The platform should be fixed to the floor or installed so it cannot move. Uneven flooring, vibration, and load remaining on a wheel at the platform edge can affect the measurement result.

Crane and Livestock Scales

A crane scale weighs the load at the suspension point. The hook, shackle, sling and entire overhead lifting system must be suited to the weight being weighed. Capacity shown on the display does not increase the safe working load of the lifting equipment.

TEM's range on Mutfak10 includes crane scales from 500 kilograms to a tonne and above, along with small and large livestock weighing systems. On a livestock scale, platform size, side rails, floor grip and safe animal entry/exit matter as much as kilogram capacity.

Since a live load moves, the display may need locking or an animal-weighing algorithm. This feature is not present on every platform scale; the industry-specific product code should be checked.

POS, Barcode and Communication Options

TEM's product range includes POS scales, barcode-enabled models, printer-equipped systems and various weighing indicators. Selected POS platforms offer capacities of 6, 15 and 30 kilograms, RS-232 data output and stainless pan options.

Communication options such as Wi-Fi, USB, RS-485, Bluetooth or GPRS can help transfer stock, production and sales data to another system. Not all connections are standard on every model.

If the scale needs to work with a cash register, ERP, label printer or computer, protocol and software compatibility should be tested before purchase. Having a connection port alone does not indicate data formats will automatically match.

How Should a TEM Scale Be Chosen?

The smallest and largest product to be weighed, the required gram resolution and the platform size should be determined first. If it will be used in commercial sales, the approval requirement should also be confirmed.

Whether the product is weighed on a counter, floor, ramp platform, crane, or moving animal enclosure determines the body class. Price, counting, barcode or data transfer should only be added to the system if genuinely needed.

Electricity and battery, display viewing direction, washdown/moisture conditions, floor and software connectivity should be included in the installation plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a TEM approved and standard scale?

An approved model is a certified configuration aimed at sales or official weighing purposes in line with relevant commercial metrology requirements. A standard model can be used for in-house production control or other weighing tasks. Intended use and product documentation should be checked before purchase.

How are capacity and graduation chosen on a TEM scale?

Capacity expresses the heaviest load, graduation the smallest measurement step visible on the display. Small portions need fine graduation, while a heavy crate or pallet needs higher capacity and a suitable platform. Unnecessarily high capacity can reduce precision for small measurements.

Which features affect TEM industrial scale prices?

Price is determined by capacity, graduation, pan/platform size, single or multiple load cells, and approval status. Price computing, counting, barcode, printer, battery, ramp and communication options can change total cost.
