The WA Mining Expo conference provides an opportunity to engage with mining decision makers, technology experts and industry leaders.  The Australian mining industry amounts to 75% of the country’s exports, with Western Australia as the epicentre of Australian mining and a major player in the international mining industry.

Amongst the main topic areas for the conference, presentations and discussions will be centred around critical minerals.  Western Australia has recently seen Lithium displace alumina as the third most valuable mineral by sales.  The electric car revolution is obviously taking affect, and even in other parts of the world such as South America, CST has already seen an increase in demand for precise and large scale weighing systems capable in dealing with not only lithium, but other critical minerals like cobalt and nickel.

With such valuable minerals, installing customised systems for high tension locations has been met with CST’s unique high strength, minimal deflection solutions featuring extra-long idler spacing, high clearances, dual redundancy and unparalleled accuracy.

The WA Mining Expo is also focussing on innovation and digital automation, and in the field of belt weighing, CST has a number of proven industry firsts.  “Our products include the Belt Image Zero Tracking (BITZ) system, the Close Spaced Roller Rack (CSRR), and our dural redundant embedded tachometer, which is the most reliable tachometer ever offered for conveyor scales…We’re able to achieve up to +/- 0.1% accuracy for high tension and critical applications” (Mark Cummins,  CST WA Sales Manager).  At the WA Mining Expo (CST Stand E129) you will be able ask about our SIP masses system which enables automated monitoring and remote maintenance, and also see a live demonstration of the revolutionary IntelliRoll autonomous weigh roll unit. It won the 2018 Best Product Launch Award at QME, as well as the 2019 Innovative Product of the Year Award at the Sensors Expo & Conference in the USA.

Visit the CST Stand E129 at the WA Mining Expo and talk to one of our Engineering Experts.

CST, with nearly 40 years of market leading innovation, are committed to being the best belt weigher company in the world by providing the most stable and most accurate products, calibration services and weighing equipment.  We are constantly researching and working closely with our customers to learn more about real day-to-day issues, and consequently provide valuable solutions for material transfer on conveyors.
