Guntamatic Manufactures Boiler Using Premium Welding Technology from Fronius
Guntamatic GmbH operates internationally producing high-tech biomass heating systems. From fully automatic log wood heating systems through to pellet heating, Guntamatic continually demonstrates itself to be the leader in innovation in its industry. The company has always used Fronius welding technology to ensure the high-quality production of their products. Since 2020, the Austrian family-run company has also put its trust in the Fronius TransSteel 4000 Pulse to improve overall manual welding efficiency in production. 
Guntamatic’s hybrid heating systems combine the best of both worlds, the perfect combination of heat generation by means of an electric heat pump for heating water and biomass combustion. This means the system can constantly take advantage of stored prices for electricity and wood/pellets. Also, taking into account personal preferences, hybrid heating systems automatically switch between electric power and biomass combustion.
However, Guntamatic systems do not just set new standards in heating, but also in overall comfort. Heat generation is no longer the only way that Guntamatic succeeds in increasing comfort at home, atmospheric and elegantly-designed heating elements in the fireplace bring the combustion process, and the resulting cosy radiant heat, into the living room.
Sustainability, Cost-Effectiveness, and Efficiency
“With the rise of pellet heating systems, the industry has continued to develop strongly since the beginning of the 2000s,” explains Günther Huemer, Managing Director of Guntamatic GmbH. The SME, which, in the meantime, has grown to employ around 250 people, has continued to grow in line with industry trends, something that has also had an impact on production. “We have to remain efficient in all areas, while continuing to deliver the highest levels of quality. A high degree of automation, particularly in sheet metal forming, is thus required to continue to remain competitive at our headquarters against companies in low-wage countries.                                          
Guntamatic Modernises the Manual Welding Sector
“As such, our main goal was to reduce the resulting refinishing costs,” confirms Fellinger. Indeed, from the very beginning, Guntamatic has been working exclusively with Fronius welding systems for manual welding, including the VarioSynergic (3500/4000), the TransPocket, and the MagicWave for TIG welding, but, to cope with the demands for making work easier and reducing costs, MIG/MAG pulse welding seemed the most up-to-date and effective solution.
“The pulse welding function enables us to work with significantly greater process stability, while at the same time substantially reducing welding spatter. Since then, we have integrated numerous TransSteel 4000 Pulse welding systems into our production. As a result, manual welding has become much cleaner, and we have been able to reduce the amount of reworking required. 
Furthermore, ease of use is something that is really important to us, and that’s something Fronius was able to deliver with the TransSteel 4000 Pulse. As a result, the welding system could be integrated and set up ready for use in just a few steps.”
