Warmflow invests in new manufacturing technology to improve speed, cost and quality

Warmflow has added a new robotic press brake bending cell to its Northern Ireland manufacturing facility. The machine automates the sheet metal bending process for the casings and heat exchangers used across its product ranges increasing speed, consistency and quality.

The system pairs a robotic arm with a CNC press brake, loading and bending panels to consistent tolerances with minimal manual input — a step up from traditional manual bending in both speed and repeatability. That precision matters at Warmflow’s specification: boiler shells are formed from 5mm thick steel, a heavier gauge that demands exact, repeatable force to achieve a clean, consistent bend.

Quality you can rely on

For installers, the investment translates directly into a higher standard of manufacturing quality.

Every panel is bent to the same exact tolerance, giving installers a consistent standard of fit and finish they can rely on, unit after unit.

Automating a labour-intensive stage of production also helps control manufacturing costs and keeps lead times down, supporting more competitive pricing and quicker turnaround without any compromise on build quality.

The investment continues Warmflow’s programme of in-house manufacturing upgrades, keeping production based in Northern Ireland and supply chains short and responsive for installers.
