KARLSKOGA, Sweden, Sept. 30,
2024 /CNW/ -- Cell Impact continues to enhance its
capacity and capability. Today, the company signed a collaboration
agreement with Andritz Soutec AG, Switzerland, regarding a machine for galvo
welding of bipolar flow plates. The agreement helps streamline
subsequent processes in Cell Impact's production flow and optimize
the conditions for delivering flow plates on a large scale.
Andritz Soutec AG will, as part of this collaboration, develop
Soucell, a galvo welding machine that will strengthen Cell Impact's
Phase II program by increasing production capacity and a stronger
production offering.
"We are pleased to contribute in the transition to a more
sustainable energy system together with Cell Impact. For us, this
is an exciting collaboration due to Cell Impact's excellent
conditions for producing products on a uniquely large scale," says
Daniel Wenk, VP Business Development
at Andritz Soutec.
The product Soucell provides the capacity to weld one bipolar
plate per second - 1 Hz, which matches the capacity offered by Cell
Impact Forming™.
With the project starting in the first quarter of 2025, the plan
is to have a Soucell installed at Cell Impact for high-volume
production in Karlskoga during the second half of 2026. As the
demand for flow plates increases, the scope of the collaboration
will also expand.
"This is another example of how we are preparing for large-scale
production. The foundation lies in our unique and patented forming
technology, Cell Impact Forming. As we add new process steps to our
production lines, we are automating manufacturing to reduce
production costs," says Daniel
Vallin, interim CEO of Cell Impact.
