CST will exhibit at Electra Mining Africa 2026, one of the continent’s leading mining, industrial and engineering events, held from 7-11 September 2026 at the Johannesburg Expo Centre, Nasrec, South Africa. 

Visitors can find CST at Booth D15-I, where Gregory Armstrong, Africa Business Development Manager, and Jonathan Webber, Business Development Engineer, will be available to discuss how CST’s belt weighing systems help improve measurement confidence across mining operations. Across Africa’s mining sector, operations handling coal, iron ore, copper, manganese, platinum group metals and other bulk commodities rely on accurate material measurement to maintain visibility across production, logistics and export processes. 

High-capacity conveyor systems play a critical role in moving material from pit to port. Reliable belt weighing provides trusted production data to support reporting, inventory management, reconciliation and export operations, helping operations make informed decisions across the supply chain. 

Improving Measurement Confidence in Mining Operations 

For more than four decades, CST has supported mining operations globally with conveyor belt scales designed for accuracy, reliability and long-term performance. CST’s application-engineered belt weighing systems help reduce reconciliation issues, improve reporting confidence and deliver reliable measurement data where it matters most. 

CST has the largest team of specialist belt scale technicians in the world and provides 24/7 remote support Africa-wide, working closely with customers to make sure new and existing installations maintain measurement accuracy and stability throughout the life of their assets.

At the event, CST will showcase IntelliRoll®, a wireless, self-powered weigh roll that transforms a standard roller into a smart, autonomous belt weigher. With integrated load cells, electronics and real-time data transmission via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, it eliminates external wiring, calibration and traditional components, making material monitoring simpler and lower maintenance. 

CST will also present WIM3.5, the latest evolution of its weigh integrator technology, building on the proven performance of the WIM3 platform.  ST will also present WIM3.5, the latest evolution of its weigh integrator technology, building on the proven performance of the WIM3 platform.  

With a larger modern display, improved screen visibility and a more user-friendly interface, WIM3.5 gives operators easier access to belt scale data and system information in the field. The platform supports faster, more informed decision-making through clear operational data, while helping reduce manual checks and improve overall process visibility. 

The IntelliRoll and WIM3.5 sit in a suite of CST technology that work toward the same operational goals: improving belt weighing performance, providing greater operational visibility and helping teams make decisions with greater confidence.
