This is Cell Impact

Around the world, a major shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources is taking place, and Cell Impact is part of this development. Fuel cells produce electricity and heat through an electrochemical reaction where hydrogen and oxygen are combined. The technology is environmentally friendly and the only byproduct is clean water. With the help of electrolyzers, electricity from renewable sources can be used to split water and thus produce green hydrogen gas.

Cell Impact has developed, Cell Impact Forming™, a unique, patented, high-precision method for forming the very thin metallic plates – flow plates – that are used in fuel cells and electrolyzers. The method relies on a hydraulic impact unit that very quickly, and with incredible accuracy, forms a metallic substance between two precision tools. The high energy levels make it possible to utilize special physical properties in the metal to form the exact patterns required for high efficiency in a modern flow plate. Our technology makes it possible to produce large volumes of flow plates in a cost-efficient way, which is often a prerequisite for environmentally friendly hydrogen technology in many applications.

Advantages

Cell Impact Forming offers many advantages over conventional forming technology, or what is known as progressive forming. The method consumes little energy and does not require lubricants, thus eliminating the need for water-intensive cleaning – clear improvements compared with progressive forming.

The technology also reduces tool costs by up to 50 percent and requires minimal maintenance, making Cell Impact Forming a very environmentally-friendly manufacturing method. In addition to offering many technical advantages, Cell Impact Forming can also substantially reduce cost per produced plate. It is the rational process with initial low investment and installation costs, combined with subsequent low operating expenses, that enables customers to gain this crucial competitive advantage.

Offering

Cell Impact develops and manufactures customized metal flow plates for fuel cells and electrolyzers. We deliver both single and bipolar flow plates. Cell Impact’s offering also includes highly specialized design services for flow plates and tools, prototype series and production of large volumes of flow plates.

Cell Impact’s technology can also be applied in other contexts where forming and cutting technologies are required processes. The technology is highly sought after due to the fact that bars and other metals are handled in a way that imparts particularly desirable properties. This makes Cell Impact’s unique technology suitable for mature industries that are characterized by short lead times, more predictable decision-making processes and clear industrial needs – without any additional investments.
