Welcome to Control Systems Technology
Conveyor Belt Weighing Systems.
Weigh Belt Feeders.
Underground Gas Sensors and associated alarm monitoring systems, service and repair.
Control Systems Technology Pty Ltd (CST) was founded in 1984 for the purpose of providing specialised instrumentation products and professional services to the mining and minerals processing industry. CST manufactures underground environmental monitoring systems and conveyor belt weighing systems. The core business of CST currently is weighing in motion on conveyor belts, with belt weighers (scales) and weighfeeders. CST is a world leader in belt weighing technology, investing in ongoing research and development. In partnership with our customers, we seek to provide product enhancements and new features on a regular basis.
CST manufactures, installs, commissions and services in motion weighing equipment for bulk handling to the mining, shiploading, rail loading, grain, coal power, wool scouring, quarry and food industries.
CST has offices in NSW, Queensland and Western Australia, and agents in Korea, Canada, Europe, South America and Kazahkstan.
CST belt weighing products are certified for Trade Use - OIML certified in Europe, NMI certified in Australia, MC certified in Canada, NTEP approved in the USA, to the highest possible standards in each case. As a result CST belt weighers are legal for trade use in most of the advanced economies in the world. CST belt weighers can be used reliably and legally in place of ships draft survey for international trade purposes Read More
Accuracy Claims for Belt Weighers
There is a tendency for those who have purchased a 0.5% accurate instrument, to simply believe that the device could not have an error worse than 0.5%. The answers that come from it seem to have an unearthly authority and users seem to believe that the device will always tell the truth except perhaps on a bad day when it might have an error of as much as 0.5%.
Calibration Methods
Simulation of Live Load for (Belt Weigher) Calibration.
There is debate over the best method of simulating live load, and many people strong views on this matter. In general order of perceived increasing quality, methods of simulating live load are:
- Electronic simulation
- Static mass applied on the weigh frame under the belt
- Rolling or dragging mass on the conveyor belt over the weigh frame
- Live slugs of material which are themselves weighed on other static weighing systems such as bins or weigh bridges Read More
