Aftermarket CST installation & belt scale alignment

 

We are often called in for independent CST scale installation and conveyor belt scale alignment after OEM or third-party installs have left systems out of tolerance. Our technicians regularly find components loose, out of square, or incorrectly aligned — all of which compromise accuracy.

By re-setting and re-aligning CST belt scales correctly, we deliver aftermarket CST installation that achieves consistent results and prevents costly downtime caused by poor initial setup.

Why correct installation matters

 

Why Correct CST Scale Installation Matters

  • Accuracy depends on alignment – Proper CST scale installation and conveyor belt scale alignment are critical. Belt scales must be square to the conveyor structure and tensioned correctly. Even a few millimetres of twist or skew can throw off readings.
     
  • Loosened fasteners – Bolts, brackets, and frames need to be torqued correctly. Loose assemblies cause drift, noise, and repeat failures, often requiring aftermarket CST installation support.
     
  • Roller and idler placement – Correct placement and level are essential for stable weighing performance and long-term reliability.
     
  • Conveyor geometry – Misalignment in the belt or trough creates a chain reaction of errors that no electronics can fix, reinforcing the importance of accurate CST scale installation from the start.

Common issues we correct

• Components installed out of square with the conveyor frame cause costly errors during CST scale installation.  

• Roller assemblies unevenly installed prevent proper conveyor belt scale alignment.  

• Load cells over-tightened or under-tightened create instability that aftermarket CST installation must correct.  

• Weigh frames not level   

• Scale hardware fitted without proper checks which leads to errors.  


Why customers call us

 

Independent CST Installation & Alignment
We are often called in for independent CST scale installation and conveyor belt scale alignment when initial installs require correction. Our technicians routinely find systems that need re-alignment, tightening, or squaring to bring them back into tolerance.

By re-setting and aligning CST belt scales properly, we provide aftermarket CST installation that restores accuracy, ensures consistent performance, and reduces downtime from errors in setup.
