Hobart Scales

Approach

Label printing scales are an essential part of the sales process for any grocery store or butcher shop. Hobart is widely recognized for producing some of the best scales in the industry, which is why we’ve chosen to make them a BP refurbished product.

Every Hobart scale we receive undergoes a thorough inspection to assess its current condition and future lifespan, about one-third do not meet our standards and are removed from our refurbishment process. The front operator screens are taken out and individually inspected for broken plastics, discolored LCDs, faulty wiring, or excessive wear on the touchscreen. In most cases, we replace the touchscreen entirely, installing a brand-new one in its frame. The interior components are also examined for signs of overuse, and any parts unfit for a second life are discarded.

At BP, we don’t sell “used” equipment—we deliver fully revitalized, professionally refurbished products. Every scale we offer is built to be a reliable, long-lasting solution for your business.

Refurbish

Over several years of working on Hobart scales on a daily basis, we’ve developed a comprehensive refurbishment process to ensure every unit meets our high standards. Once a scale has been evaluated and approved for refurbishment, it goes through the following steps:

The interior of the scale is thoroughly deep cleaned, and verified components are ultrasonically cleaned for thorough cleaning. Gears and belts are tightened to optimal tension, sensors are calibrated, and the label cassette is properly aligned. We run a series of test prints to ensure the label printer has no damaged cells. The load cell is tested using certified legal-for-trade weights to confirm it’s ready for calibration upon arrival. We wipe the scale of all previous user data and update it to the latest version available to us.

All existing stickers and tags are removed, and the exterior undergoes a detailed three-step cleaning process. Finally, we complete the refurbishment with a refinished weighing platter to give the scale a clean, professional finish.

Guarantee

Every Hobart scale leaves our shop fully guaranteed to function as the manufacturer intended. Upon ordering, the operator screens are assembled and calibrated to each specific scale. Each unit is then double-checked to ensure every step of the refurbishment process has been completed correctly and that all components meet our high quality standards.

We apply our foil sticker to every scale, providing you with direct access to starting your warranty, user manuals, and contact information should you ever need assistance. Scales are carefully bagged and sealed in custom packaging to ensure they arrive clean, secure, and protected during transit.

BP provides a 6-month warranty on all refurbished equipment, we proudly stand behind our work. If a scale doesn’t function as designed, we will repair or replace it at no cost. Visit our warranty page for more details about our commitment to delivering high-quality refurbished products.

Hobart HTi Scale Pre-Purchase FAQ

  • Every Hobart scale purchase will include a link to the operator and supervisor manuals from Hobart’s website. We highly encourage you to read the supervisor manual through chapter 4 to setup your scale. We are available to tech support through this process for specific questions you may have.

  • We do not distribute label stock directly. We work with a partnered label provider to provide labels for these scales. You will receive a flyer in the box to purchase labels from them. We do not recommend purchasing labels before you receive the scale. You will need to decide which label type you want to use for your products, then order the corresponding label stock size for that label type. Loading a different stock size than the label type you want to use requires will cause errors.

  • All of our refurbished Hobart scales have been previously used and calibrated. When we receive used scales in, we run the scale through its calibration process using the class III legal for trade scale weights, but we do not apply the calibration to the scale. Scale calibration cannot be guaranteed on arrival due to shipping and altitude changes. When you receive your refurbished scale, check the load cell calibration by comparing the weight of an object to a state-approved scale you already have if possible. If necessary, consider contacting a local Hobart representative directly. We are not affiliated with Hobart and cannot assist with calibration.

  • The operator screen is the touch screen used to control the scale. We offer two pricing options, a new or used operator screen. Both new and used are built in a refurbishing housing, but the difference is the physical glass touchscreen itself. Our new option will be brand new with protective film attached. Our used option will be overall lightly used, with only minor scratches and scuffs.
