Cell Impact enhances production capacity through an agreement with Andritz Soutec AG
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.
Daniel Wenk, VP Business Development at Andritz Soutec says,
“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,”
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.
Daniel Vallin, interim CEO of Cell Impact says
“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,”
