White Paper Helps Guide FSMA Compliance Decisions

Rice Lake Weighing Systems has created a product support white paper that contains easy-to-understand information about the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).

This information highlights the ability of Rice Lake’s washdown products to meet requirements of commercial processing industries. The FSMA white paper not only explains how to meet compliance laws, but demonstrates how these scales can help prevent food contamination by the integrity of their construction and design.

For all producers, from farm to the table, purchasing equipment that meets Sanitary Design Principles (SDP) is considered a mandatory preventative measure by the FDA. Offering products that are microbiologically cleanable, hermetically sealed and compatible with hostile environments ideal for those who are obligated to these strict guidelines.

The FSMA paper outlines roles that scales play in safe processing as well as interprets food safety laws that tie in specific functions of your product line.

Rental Truck Scale | When Buying Isn’t Right, Rent!

Grand Rapids Metrology is proud to offer you more flexibility and customization when it comes to your measurement needs.

We recognize that buying expensive equipment isn’t always the best option for your company. Sometimes using weighing equipment for a couple of months or short-term projects here and there doesn’t justify the investment of a purchase.

For those and many other circumstances, renting a portable truck scale from Grand Rapids Metrology may be a worthwhile venture.

We’ve added a Rice Lake portable 70 x 11 ft. truck scale to our wide variety of rental equipment. This truck scale is ideal for short-term project or keeping your business in operations while an existing truck scale is being repaired or replaced.

 

 

GRM’s portable truck scale is available for rent on a monthly basis with a one month minimum.  The rental includes optional electronics – 720i Programmable Weight Indicator, 218 LED Remote Display, and 295 Ticket Printer. If you have similar electronics at your facility, GRM can integrate your equipment with the rented truck scale.

If you think a rental may be more suitable than a purchase for your business, send us a message! Our Heavy Capacity Team is happy to speak with you about the specifics of the truck scale, the installation procedures, cost, etc.

When buying isn’t right, rent!
