New Zealand's industrial landscape, characterized by its reliance on heavy machinery in agriculture, geothermal energy, and maritime engineering, faces unique challenges regarding equipment wear and corrosion. Traditional welding methods often fall short in providing the longevity required for high-uptime operations in remote regions like Southland or the Waikato.
As a specialized **Plasma Torch Supplier**, we understand that the New Zealand market demands more than just hardware; it requires a synergy of metallurgical expertise and localized support. The shift toward **Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) cladding** in New Zealand represents an "Information Gain" for maintenance managers seeking to reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). By utilizing a high-energy density plasma arc, Kiwi enterprises can achieve a dilution rate of less than 5%, ensuring that the surface properties of expensive components—like geothermal turbine blades or dairy processing shafts—are preserved with surgical precision.
I have an independent R&D team, which develops, produces and sells plasma cladding machine equipment. The welding machine has stable performance and can maintain efficient long-term operation. In addition, the laser cladding equipment sold by the company can effectively support large-scale remanufacturing projects. We have mature technological means to provide complete sets of industrial equipment solutions.

Combining PTA and Laser Cladding in a single robotic cell for multi-material deposition on complex maritime propellers.
Developing torches with 30% higher electrical efficiency to meet New Zealand's carbon neutrality goals for 2050.
Our plasma torches and automated cladding systems are engineered to meet international safety standards (CE, UL) while specifically aligning with **AS/NZS 1554.1** welding standards applicable in New Zealand. This ensures that every weld meets the rigorous safety and quality requirements of the New Zealand Heavy Engineering Research Association (HERA).
Shanghai Duomu has been a leading manufacturer and exporter of PTA cladding machine and Laser cladding machine for more than ten years with a strong technical background. We can provide customized equipment, automatic laser cladding equipment, automatic plasma cladding equipment, intelligent robot cladding equipment, etc. according to customers' requirements.
Technical Paper
In Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) hardfacing, achieving a high-quality overlay is not only about selecting the right alloy powder or optimizing parameters. One of the most critical factors is the dilution rate...
Oil & Gas Case Study
In Oil & Gas, the Real Cost Is Downtime—Not the Component. When a choke valve fails due to sand erosion, a mud pump valve seat wears beyond tolerance, the traditional response is replacement. Our plasma solutions change this.
Maintenance Strategy
For industrial equipment operating in abrasive, erosive, or corrosive environments, wear is inevitable. The challenge is choosing the most cost-effective maintenance strategy. PTA cladding offers a clear ROI.
Screw Conveyors
In mining and biomass energy, screw conveyors are frequent causes of unplanned production downtime. Our surfacing technology extends their service life significantly.
