Reliable Feed Mixer Load Cell Solutions for Precision Weighing


In the fast-pace of today’s farming and livestock industries, precision and efficiency are paramount. Whether you are two miles from the feed mill or 20, accuracy is the single most important element to cause injury from the mixer scale to be as little as possible and to have maximum return on your purchases and to the animal. The building block of every quality mixing process begins with a reliable feed mixing load cell—and that’s where Labirinth Microtest Electronics (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. excels as a valued supplier to global market-customers of feed mixer OEMs and integrators.

The Importace of Feed Mixer Load Cells

A feed mixer load cell is the crucial element responsible for converting the weight of raw ingredients—grains, vitamins, additives—into accurate digital information, facilitating accurate blend ratios and immediate weight reporting. A horizontal feed mixer, vertical feed mixer or even a portable small feed mixer, providing accurate measurements instead of just guessing the amount is all in the right load cell.

Whether in small feed mixer load cells to a 300 kg unit or high capacity load cell for a 20 ton horizontal twin-shaft mixer, there is a requirement for ruggedness, sensitivity and repeatable accuracy which transcends scale dimensions.

Feed Mixing and Where Load Cells are Used

Horizontal feed mixers Using a twin-screw or paddle based machine, systems will need multiple-point load cell arrangement to sense weight distribution and automatically adjust the motor speed if the balance is disturbed.

VERTICAL FEED MIXERS:These are also found in mobile operations feeding through livestock in a pen,They make use of a lightweight but durable small vertical feed mixer load cell that does not sacrifice accuracy.

Batch feed systems: Labirinth’s digital indicator family power the integrated feed mixer scales which enable farmers to monitor every batch remotely and record data for traceability.

Portable feed mixer carts: Need small, load-cell devices with low power consumption and wireless communication for distance-weighting and automation.
Labyrinth Microtest; “Professional Approach” Selected by Top Feed Mixer Manufacturers

In the last 20 years, Labirinth Microtest Electronics (Tianjin) Co., Ltd has grown to become China’s leading precision load cell manufacturer.

And here’s the reason the best feed mixer manufacturers rely on Labirinth Microtest:

Precision Meets Practicality

Beautiful Strain Gauges with Sturdy Labyrinth’s feed mixer load cells are made from high precision strain gauges and advanced micro processing circuits with ±0.02% F.S repeatability even under extreme vibration or shock. This is of particular advantage in horizontal feed mixers which are subjected to heavy mechanical mixing.

Rugged, Weatherproof Design

From barnyard dust to bitter cold on ranches thousands of miles away, our feed mixer scale load cells are IP67 rated and sealed against water, moisture, and condensation. They work well in on-site harsh environment from -20°C to +65°C.

Flexible Mounting Options

Labirinth also supplies standard and custom load cells for the following:
Bolt-on mounting under mixer legs
Compression-type mountings under hoppers

S-type mounting load cells for suspended feed systems
Whether you’re converting a vertical feed mixer or using state of the art electronics to control a horizontal smart batch patented mixer, our engineers will do full 3D CAD and actual site consultations.

Digital Communication

Modern farms demand modern solutions. It’s also why Labirinth feed mixer scale load cells are Modbus RTU, CANbus and RS485 protocol compatible — all the better for smart farm management systems and automation control panels.

Custom Solutions for OEMs

Labirinth closely collaborates with feed mixer machine manufacturers; provides private-label versions, customized load cell enclosures, and embedded firmware optimized for the mixer software.

Customer Case Study: Taking a product to market – From Farm to Factory

A New Zealand livestock feed company replaced a manual batching process with Labirinth’s multi-point load cell system for a 10-ton horizontal mixer. The result? ±0.01% weight accuracy, 25% faster batch cycles and full traceability of raw ingredient usage combined with a mobile app that allows, remote access to the data logger.

Your Precision Partner: Labirinth Microtest

It should be noted when purchasing feed mixer load cells that not all manufacturers are designed equally. When you choose Labirinth as your Microtest supplier, you are gaining more than just a sensor; you are getting a partner that speaks the language of feed production, brings the real engineering collaboration and scales towards success.

Whether you are an agricultural equipment manufacturer, systems integrator or farm automation specialist seeking a leading provider of load cells and accessories for your latest feed mixer scales, look no further than Labirinth.
