Food Processing
Washdown-rated scales meeting USDA and FDA compliance for food safety.
Scale Solutions for Food Processing
Food processing facilities require weighing equipment that meets the strictest hygiene, accuracy, and regulatory standards. North Texas Scales provides washdown-rated floor scales, bench scales, checkweighers, and batching systems designed for IP66 and IP69K high-pressure cleaning environments.
Every scale we install for food processing carries the appropriate sanitary certifications — NSF, USDA accepted, and FDA compliant. We use 304 stainless steel construction, hermetically sealed load cells, and quick-disconnect cabling to ensure your weighing equipment meets HACCP, GMP, and FSMA requirements.

How a DFW meat processor achieved zero weight deviations
A meat processing plant in the DFW area was failing USDA weight audits due to inconsistent package weights from manual portioning. North Texas Scales installed Rice Lake CW-90X checkweighers on two packaging lines with automatic reject and data logging. The facility achieved zero weight deviations in their next 3 USDA audits and reduced product give-away by 6%, saving over $90,000 annually.
