Cell Impact has signed an agreement with Andritz Soutec AG, Switzerland, regarding the development of Soucell – a machine for galvo welding of bipolar flow plates which will help streamline the 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.
