GFC will present a production line for metallic bipolar plates for fuel cells and electrolyzers and provide valuable expert insights at the hy-fcell 2024 in Stuttgart.

The German Fuel Cell Cooperation will exhibit at hy-fcell 2024 in Stuttgart, a leading event for hydrogen and fuel cell technology, from 8 to 9 October 2024.

The three member companies will present their coordinated production line for metallic bipolar plates.

Additionally, they will share the latest expert insights into bipolar plate production at two key sessions.

A Perfectly Coordinated System for Efficient Bipolar Plate Manufacturing

The German Fuel Cell Cooperation (GFC), a partnership between VON ARDENNE (Dresden), Weil Technology (Müllheim), and ZELTWANGER (Tübingen), is showcasing its coordinated production line for metallic bipolar plates at hy-fcell 2024. Each partner is a leader in their respective field. Therefore, they bring their specialized expertise: VON ARDENNE for advanced coating, Weil Technology for high-precision laser welding, and ZELTWANGER for automated leak testing. With an annual capacity of several million bipolar plates, the fully integrated production line meets the growing demand of the industry.

GFC will contribute to the knowledge exchange at hy-fcell in two key sessions:

Speaker’s Corner: ThreeGFC experts will discuss production efficiency. Susann Puppe (VON ARDENNE) will cover PVD coating for PEM applications. Dr. Thomas Frey (Weil Technology) will highlight laser-welding concepts for bipolar plates, and Jochen Kober (ZELTWANGER) will emphasize leak testing in fuel cell production. These talks will offer valuable insights into optimizing scalable manufacturing processes.

Conference Session: TheGFC experts will join industry leaders to discuss the complexities of bipolar plate production and strategies for improving efficiency in mass production. This talk will be part of the "Fuel Cell Production VI: Stack-Assembly" session, which will be organized by Fraunhofer ISE and moderated by Dr. Ludwig Jörissen (ZSW).
