Our Client
Magnatech Fuel Conditioning Ltd specialises in fuel conditioning systems that improve boiler efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. Their technology uses high-powered magnets to influence fuel at a molecular level, optimising combustion and performance.
With GUK Magnetics’ support, Magnatech has developed a Fuel Conditioning System now used worldwide—including in the USA, Australia, China, and Africa. They are also one of only 15 European companies to hold the prestigious TRITECH ETV certificate for environmental technology.
How GUK Helped
Magnatech Fuel Conditioning Ltd underwent a significant transition in 2018 when new ownership took over. As the new team shifted from being technology distributors to managing full-scale production, they sought expert support to streamline this transition.
GUK Magnetics played a key role in providing both technical and operational assistance:
-
Engineering Support: Our experienced engineering team reviewed the original 2007 design and recommended practical improvements to enhance efficiency and performance. Through detailed consultations, we ensured the new Magnatech team clearly understood the technical aspects of the system.
-
Magnetic Field Analysis: A crucial part of the project involved determining how the magnetic field penetrated fuel feed pipes. GUK Magnetics’ technical team conducted Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations to accurately model the magnetic field and validate product effectiveness, giving Magnatech deeper insight into system performance.
-
Reliable Supply Chain and Logistics: Our operations team provided clear communication on lead times, potential delays, and public holiday schedules, particularly regarding shipping from China. We also worked closely with Magnatech to ensure pricing structures remained transparent, supporting their financial planning and smooth day-to-day operations.
The Working Relationship
“We simply couldn’t do it without them.”
– Simon Goodchild, Managing Director
Beyond technical support, GUK Magnetics has been a committed partner through both growth periods and challenging times. Following the sudden loss of one of Magnatech’s owners in late 2018, GUK Magnetics remained a consistent and dependable resource, helping ensure continuity in production and delivery commitments.
Our collaboration has empowered Magnatech to confidently grow their business, improve product quality, and meet increasing demand. The trust in GUK Magnetics engineering expertise, supply reliability, and customer service has contributed to a significant increase in sales and a strengthened market position.
Magnatech continues to rely on GUK Magnetics for precision magnets, technical problem-solving, and supply chain support – ensuring their systems continue to deliver long-term energy savings and environmental benefits.
