CST at QME – accuracy and reliability in the field

Belt weighing depends on the accurate measurement of weight and belt travel. This involves a weigh frame and a tachometer. The tachometer is a simple device, but can be surprisingly error prone. The tachometer can be a wheel or pulley running on the belt which is generating pulses via a proximity sensor or an encoder.

Control Systems Technology (CST), a prominent Australian manufacturer specialising in high-quality conveyor belt weighing systems, will participate in the upcoming QME Exhibition at Mackay Showgrounds from July 23rd to July 25th, 2024.

Attendees can engage in a conversation with one of CST’s experts to discover how the company can assist in achieving precision, reliability, and longevity for belt weighing systems.

Brian Kefford, CST’s operations manager, said CST’s approach is to offer customised design and build solutions rather than standard products off the shelf.

“We tailor our designs to individual requirements, considering factors like accuracy needs, conveyor specifications, weigher placement, and other engineering aspects to determine the best model for optimal results,” he said.

CST will be present at Stand A556, presenting its wide array of innovative solutions developed in-house over the last 40 years.
