AUTOSTEM
VISION
We’re changing the way the world thinks about explosives and blasting
The world is quickly adopting a new and safer way to blast rock and concrete without the negative consequences of ground vibration and fly-rock.
SERVICES
We deliver AutoStem & AUTOShot products and services across New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, French Polynesia and Antarctica
Safety Switch Technology
AutoStem non-detonating cartridges are fitted with a patented safety switch which prevents any possible initiation of the cartridge prior to "unlocking" the product for use inside the borehole.
AutoStem Blasting Cartridges do not require the use of a conventional detonator which means conventional explosive accessories are not a requirement when blasting with AutoStem Non-Detonating products.

35mm x 300g Cartridge for Rock Blasting, Tunnelling, Construction and Demolition
9mm x 9g Mico Cartridge for Rock Splitting
43mm x 550g Cartridge for Rock Blasting, Tunnelling and Construction

Self Stemming Blasting Cartridge
AutoStem Rock Breaking Cartridges can be used with or without deck stemming or final stemming.
Upon initiation, the cartridge functionality includes a "stemming action" which closes the borehole for the blaster. Optimal blast results and reduced noise are achieved when using stemming.
WHY AUTOSTEM
A safer, more effective and environmentally friendly approach to blasting, general quarrying, mining and demolition.
AutoStem Non-Detonating Blasting Cartridges enable the possibility of localised, very controlled blasting without the requirement for large blast exclusion zones, stoppages to other works and traditional safety and environmental concerns.
