Expanding Our Expertise: Austeng Brings 30+ Years of Cremator Innovation to the Pet Industry

For over three decades, Austeng has been designing and manufacturing world-class cremation furnaces for facilities across Australia and New Zealand.

Now, the Austeng Joule Cremator – trusted by busy human crematoria – has been adapted for the pet cremation industry, delivering the same high standards in a specialised context.

💡 Why the Joule Cremator stands out:

  • Large hearth capacity – perfect for multiple separated cremations or bulk pet incineration.
  • Fully computerised operation – for precision, consistency, and ease of use.
  • Fuel efficiency & low emissions – reducing operating costs while caring for the environment.

At Austeng, innovation isn’t just a buzzword – it’s how we work. Our engineering team customised the Joule Cremator to meet our customer’s exact operational requirements, ensuring optimal performance, efficiency, and compliance. Every project is a collaboration – we listen, design, and deliver solutions that fit your business, not the other way around.

With dedicated in-house technical support, remote monitoring, and a commitment to ongoing optimisation, we ensure your equipment operates at its best – so you can focus on delivering a dignified, compassionate service.

   

Safety Meets Innovation in the Cemetery Industry

We’ve just delivered two upgraded Forston Mausoleum Lifts – designed in the USA, engineered and enhanced by Austeng to meet Australian standards. 💡

These lifts are setting a new benchmark for safe, respectful mausoleum operations.

🔧 How Austeng enhanced the lifts:

✅ Rewiring and programming to meet Australia’s rigorous safety standards

✅ Tilt sensing to prevent unsafe operation on uneven ground

✅Pressure transducer to avoid overloading

✅Dellar shutter handling module with remotely actuated arms and secure shutter supports

✅Crypt access platform and guards for safe access during crypt cleaning

✅Lanyard anchor points for added fall protection • Modular safety components – easy to install and remove

💬 The Forston Mausoleum Lift is just one of many safety-driven initiatives Austeng offers in the cemetery industry.

Austeng Secures Federal Funding to Demonstrate Onsite Hydrogen Production and Blending

Austeng is pleased to announce that we have secured Federal Government funding to deliver a pioneering hydrogen project at our Geelong facility—focused on demonstrating the commercial viability of onsite hydrogen production and blending for industrial applications.

This project will showcase how green hydrogen can be produced onsite using renewable energy and seamlessly integrated into existing gas infrastructure. By generating hydrogen via a small-scale electrolyser powered by solar energy, the solution avoids the cost and complexity associated with compression, storage, and transport—unlocking a more practical pathway for industry to decarbonise.

Delivered in partnership with SunGreenH2, Deakin University’s Hycel Technology Hub, and Swinburne University, the project will involve the installation and trial of a 5kW electrolyser, supporting real-world validation of this emerging technology.

Project Highlights

  • Demonstrates a decentralised hydrogen production model for industrial users
  • Showcases how small-scale renewable systems can support green hydrogen generation for SMEs
  • Eliminates reliance on energy-intensive compression, storage, and transport
  • Trials hydrogen blends of up to 50% in industrial applications
  • Achieves CO₂ emissions reductions
  • Provides a scalable and commercially viable solution for hard-to-abate sectors
  • Opens opportunities across Australian and international markets, including Asia

This initiative reinforces Austeng’s role at the forefront of applied engineering and energy innovation—bridging the gap between emerging technologies and real-world industrial adoption.
