Agribar devices are best suited for installation in large
agriculture machinery such as farming spreaders and harvest
trailers, where they can be used to measure and control
accumulation and dispensing of commodities, such as animal or bird
feed and fertilizer.
The beam in the Agribar is constructed from alloy steel with an
electrodeposited organic coating, resulting in superior resistance
against corrosion and abrasion. This load cell is highly durable
and delivers an impressive temperature tolerance and maximum weight
capacity. The standard capacity is 6150 kg but other capacities are
available upon request.
Specific agriculture industry applications for the Agribar
include:
- Feed and stationary mixers
- Manure spreaders
- Harvest trailers
- Bins, tanks and grain carts
- TMR Mixers and feedlot spreaders
