About AutoStem

At AutoStem, I have found my calling in revolutionizing the blasting industry. What we provide here is not just a product; it is an innovation that is changing the game for rock and concrete breaking operations globally. Our non-detonating blasting cartridges are engineered with safety and efficiency as core principles, breaking away from traditional methods to offer something that is both groundbreaking and dependable.

Our journey began with a simple idea: to make the world of blasting safer and more controllable. That vision has propelled us to where we are today – offering products and services on a scale that spans across continents. We have carefully crafted each cartridge to minimize risks without sacrificing power, an initiative that has been met with enthusiasm from clients across various sectors.

As a part of the team at AutoStem, I take personal pride in our firsthand approach. Management is not a distant entity; we are actively involved in sales and support, ensuring that our partnerships are built on direct communication and trust. It is not just about making a sale, it is about cultivating relationships and ensuring that we understand and meet the unique needs of each client.

 What sets our products apart is their self-stemming design. They require no stemming or tamping, when used in the prescribed parameters therefore simplifying the process and significantly decreasing the preparation time. This is not just a matter of convenience it is a leap towards enhancing safety standards. The standard cartridge eliminates the need for traditional detonators and explosives accessories thereby reducing potential hazards associated with handling and transportation.

Let us talk about global reach. We are not content with staying within any boundaries, our ambition is to make these safer blasting solutions accessible worldwide. That is why we have navigated international regulations, securing accreditation with prominent bodies like BAM in the European Union, the USA Department of Transport, and others. Such recognition underscores the reliability and safety of our cartridges.

Furthermore, I am deeply invested in making sure that anyone using our technology is equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to do so safely and effectively. This is where our comprehensive training programs and manuals come into play, approved by top industry regulators like the Chief Inspector of Explosives, South Africa. We believe in empowering our clients with education, ensuring that they are up to date with the most current practices, legislative requirements, and safety protocols.

Our commitment does not end with training, we are there for our clients long after the initial purchase. Our ongoing support system is robust and designed to maintain a consistent line of communication for any further guidance needed. This reflects our belief that our success is intertwined with the success and satisfaction of our clients.

In conclusion, being a part of AutoStem means being at the forefront of a transformation in the blasting industry. Our combined focus on innovation, safety, direct management involvement, and a determined global presence makes us leaders in what we do. We are not just selling a product we are providing a service, that carries our promise for a more efficient and safer future in blasting operations.

The hallmark of AutoStem’s product line is the UN 1.4S classification of their rock breaking cartridge, which boasts remarkable features aimed at maximizing safety and performance. What sets these cartridges apart is their ability to perform without any tamping or stemming when used under the recommended parameters. This is achieved by integrating a stemming action within the cartridge that seals the blasthole upon initiation.

These cartridges maximize safety by incorporating a patented safety switch, ensuring that they cannot be accidentally initiated. Additionally, with the use of Standard cartridges, the absence of the need for explosive accessories drastically reduces the risks associated with handling and transportation.
