CMC Technologies New Zealand

CMC Technologies celebrates 26 years! It was on January 25, 1999, that CMC Technologies was founded.
I extend my gratitude to our customers, manufacturers, and employees who have played a vital role in our success over the past quarter-century in Australia and New Zealand. Throughout the last 2.5 decades, we have navigated challenges such as stock market crashes and pandemics. I take personal satisfaction in knowing that our company has been instrumental in assisting numerous businesses with innovative solutions in process instrumentation. Furthermore, we’ve contributed to saving lives and safeguarding infrastructure through the supply of products and systems dedicated to explosion prevention, protection, and pressure relief.
A sincere thank you to everyone who has been part of this remarkable journey. We eagerly anticipate our future growth.

A special thanks from Managing Director, Con Carpis

Brilex Explosion Vents and Hoerbiger EVN 2.0/3.0 Explosion Relief Valves are now unified under IEP Technologies – Hoerbiger Safety Solutions.

CMC Technologies leverages over 20 years’ experience distributing Brilex products in Australia and New Zealand, and now also manages Hoerbiger EVN sales globally.

When dust builds up in industrial settings across New Zealand, it can create potentially catastrophic explosion hazards that threaten both your property and your people. At CMC Technologies, we understand the unique challenges Kiwi businesses face and provide tailored solutions to keep your operations safe.

Our comprehensive dust explosion protection includes several critical systems designed specifically for NZ industrial environments:

Explosion venting offers a reliable first line of defense by safely redirecting blast pressure away from personnel and equipment. For more immediate threats, our explosion suppression systems deploy food-safe or inert chemicals to quickly extinguish explosions before they can escalate.

To stop explosions from spreading throughout your facility, we implement both passive and active isolation systems that contain incidents to their point of origin. Our complete safety approach also includes:

• Flame arresters
• Smolder detection technolog
• Static earthing solutions
• Spark detection and extinguishing systems
• Emergency inerting capabilities

Understanding your specific risks is essential. That’s why we offer thorough dust explosibility testing (analysing Pmax, Kst, MIE, and MEC values) to identify potential hazards in your particular processes. This scientific approach allows us to design and implement the most effective prevention and protection measures for your facilities in New Zealand.

Don’t wait for a disaster to highlight your vulnerabilities. Connect with our team of experts who understand NZ workplace safety requirements and can help safeguard your business against dust explosion risks.

At CMC Technologies, we understand that fire safety isn’t just about fighting flames – it’s about preventing them before they start. That’s why we offer a full suite of fire protection solutions designed specifically for New Zealand’s industrial environments.

Our Fire Safety Range Covers Every Stage:

Prevention & Early Detection

• T and B Electronic Spark Detection Systems: Catch dangerous sparks in your process lines before they ignite
• Robecco Smouldering Fire Detection: Specialised CO monitoring for spray dryers and other critical equipment where hidden fires can start

Active Protection

• KITO Flame Arresters: Stop flames in their tracks by preventing fire from traveling through pipelines
• Robecco-Yarra Emergency Inerting: Rapidly displace oxygen with inert gas to suppress fires before they spread

Post-Incident Control

• IEP Technologies Post-Explosion Fire Protection: Contain secondary fires and prevent chain reactions after an explosion event

When you need to measure liquids, gases, or steam in your New Zealand operation, getting it right matters. Different processes demand different approaches – that’s why CMC Technologies offers a full range of flow measurement solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Two Ways to Measure Flow
We supply both volumetric flowmeters (measuring how much space the fluid occupies) and mass flowmeters (measuring the actual weight of the fluid moving through). The right choice depends entirely on your process requirements.

Our Flow Meter Technologies – Built for NZ Conditions
Whatever you’re measuring, we’ve got the right technology for the job:

For Precision Mass Flow

• Coriolis mass-flow meters: Gives you both mass flow and density in one device
• Thermal mass flow meters: Ideal for clean gases and compressed air systems

For Differential Pressure Measurement

• Orifice plates: Simple, reliable solution for many liquid and gas applications
• Delta-tubes & averaging pitot tubes: Great for large pipes and ducts
• Venturi meters: Low permanent pressure loss for sensitive systems
• Cone meters: Handles dirty fluids and wide flow ranges

For Conductive Liquids

• Electromagnetic flowmeters (magnetic flowmeters): No moving parts – perfect for water, wastewater, and slurries

For Open Channels & Weirs

• Open-channel flow meters: Essential for irrigation, water treatment, and environmental monitoring

For High-Accuracy Volume Measurement

• Positive displacement flow meters: Unmatched precision for custody transfer and batching
• Turbine flow meters: Reliable for clean liquids and gases
• Ultrasonic flow meters: Non-intrusive measurement – clamp-on options available

For Simple Visual Indication

• Variable area flow meters (rotameters): Instant visual flow rate at a glance

For Vortex Sensing

• Vortex flow meters: Robust solution for steam, gas, and liquid flow

Specialised Protection

• Thermal flow switches & level switches: Automated safety for critical processes

Why Kiwi Operations Choose Us
We don’t just sell flow meters – we deliver measurement confidence. Whether you’re running a dairy processing plant in Canterbury, a chemical facility in Taranaki, or a water treatment operation in Auckland, we understand:

• NZ’s unique compliance requirements
• The challenges of measuring everything from milk to methane
• The need for reliable, low-maintenance solutions
