this actually vary from one premix to another and the bulk density also affect the way it dose in micro ingredient automatic scale.

The weight of premix in a cubic foot depends on its bulk density, which varies based on the composition of the premix (vitamins, minerals, binders, etc.).
Formula to Calculate Weight:
\text{Weight (lb)} = \text{Bulk Density (lb/ft³)} \times 1 \text{ ft³}
Common Bulk Density Values for Premixes:
Vitamin Premix: 35–50 lb/ft³
Mineral Premix: 50–80 lb/ft³
Trace Mineral Premix: 40–60 lb/ft³The weight of premix in a cubic foot depends on its bulk density, which varies based on the composition of the premix (vitamins, minerals, binders, etc.).

A premix is a mixture of vitamins, micro minerals & other additives. The bulk density of premix very with ingredients homogeneity, inclusion level & nature of ingredients.

The bulk density of concrete and therefore the weight of a cubic foot of pre-mix, typically falls within the range of 140 to 150 pounds per cubic foot (pcf), although it can vary depending on the type of concrete and aggregates used
-
40 to 60 pounds, depending on the ingredient composition and particle size.

will be used to transport the concrete from the truck to its final position, remember that 1 m3 of concrete = 1000 litres and weighs about 2400 kg
