Swapping Flame for Heat Across 132 Sites Nationwide
Formula One, one of the largest anticenter chains in the UK, have seen the
benefits of induction heating and made a significant investment by installing
GYS Powerduction 39LG units in all 132 sites nationwide.
Formula One is committed to investing in the latest technology ensuring they
provide highquality service to their customers. Changing from flame to heat is
the latest in technology improvements for their sites.
For decades getting metal to expand has been done by using a flame torch.
Not anymore, induction is a high-tech method of heating metal by using
electromagnetic fields. The process is safe, flameless, and massively reduces
the risk of fire. It is accurate, only heating the required parts, with no
risk to the surrounding area. It is also extremely fast, heating the heart of
the metal quicker in seconds. Induction is much easier to use than flame,
requiring less training.
Technical Training Manager Sean Twomey advised, “Formula One is always
looking at the latest technology and most efficient working processes.
Replacing flame with induction heating within all workshops has increased
productivity and reduced costs. With flame, there is a lot of training
requirement to ensure safe working practice, this restricts the number of
technicians we can train, with induction heating all technicians can use it
with very little training. We reviewed several suppliers and felt the GYS
equipment was the most suitable for us. Firstly, we did an initial trial
across 13 sites and the feedback was very positive, added to that GYS has a
major facility in the UK and can provide support nationally to us.
The GYS Powerduction units are very simple to use and robust—a brilliant piece
of kit.”.
Tyler R, Formula One Technician Milton Keynes, say “Using Powerduction has
made my job a lot easier. In one job; replacing a track rod end, using flame
it took a long time to heat up, and there was risk to other parts of the
vehicle.
With induction heating, I could heat the key area really quickly and the part
was removed.”
