German Comany, ANDRITZ Kaiser GmbH Reaps Fruitful Results at Foshan International Hydrogen Energy Exhibition, Gains International Client Favor with Bipolar Plate Stamping Technology
- Century-Long Metal Forming Expertise: ANDRITZ Kaiser showcased the "German Speed" and "German Quality" of hydrogen equipment at the Foshan International Hydrogen Energy Exhibition.
- High-Speed Stamping with High Yield: Hydrogen bipolar plate stamping technology, achieving 60 plates per minute and a high qualification rate, attracted significant attention from industry chain clients at the exhibition.
The 9th China (Foshan) International Hydrogen Energy & Fuel Cell Technology & Products Exhibition (CHFE2025) was successfully held from October 22-24, 2025, at the Foshan Nanhai Qiaoshan Cultural Center. ANDRITZ Kaiser GmbH, a metal stamping technology specialist, drew considerable industry interest by presenting its high-speed stamping equipment for metallic bipolar plates, which promises a production rate of 60 plates per minute and a 100% product qualification rate
.01 Core Competitive Strengths
The showcased TOPLINE 2000 KSH2 high-speed precision stamping equipment features a cast iron bed design, ensuring exceptional precision during high-speed operation with a deflection of less than 0.04 mm/m
. This integrated system combines the press, feeding, transfer automation, lubrication, tooling, collection, and process monitoring subsystems, ensuring high rigidity . Its innovative bionic design principles—incorporating honeycomb structures for press table stability, tortoise shell-inspired structures for pulley optimization, and root-like structures for enhanced oil collector durability—form the foundation for its outstanding performance . Backed by a century of experience in metal forming equipment manufacturing and over 8,000 high-speed stamping installations globally, ANDRITZ Kaiser is a recognized practitioner of advanced technology in the metal stamping field.02 Technological Innovation Highlights
Distinct from traditional metal stamping equipment, ANDRITZ Kaiser's continuous innovation based on the TOP LINE 2000 series utilizes a servo progressive die process, enabling a high production speed of 60 plates per minute
. The intelligent control system is another standout feature: six distance sensors on a 3-meter platform monitor stamping deformation in real-time, with data instantly fed back to servo motors for micro-adjustments, ensuring plate geometry and flow field consistency . The equipment also incorporates several technological breakthroughs, including a bio-based lubricant derived 100% from sugarcane, homogenizing the hydraulic and lubrication systems, and servo motors co-developed with Siemens coupled with a proprietary two-stage series gear system for stable force output even during infinite variable speed adjustments .03 Market Performance
ANDRIZ Kaiser's booth attracted a steady stream of visitors for consultations and negotiations throughout the exhibition
The equipment garnered strong interest from various international companies, particularly with in-depth cooperation discussions held with Japanese enterprises . The company has already supplied multiple production systems to leading hydrogen industry players, accumulating rich experience in progressive die processes for bipolar plate manufacturing . The equipment handles over 90% of common bipolar plate sizes on the market, accommodating lengths from 200mm to 500mm and widths from 100mm to 200mm, and has secured orders from several major clients . Tailoring its approach for the Chinese market, ANDRITZ Kaiser has already developed technology for stamping titanium plates for PEM electrolyzers, capable of processing 700x700mm, 0.5mm-thick titanium plates, positioning itself for the anticipated PEM electrolyzer market boom .As the hydrogen energy industry advances towards large-scale production, high-precision, high-efficiency, and high-stability manufacturing equipment becomes a critical link in the value chain. ANDRITZ Kaiser's high-speed bipolar plate stamping solutions provide robust technical support for breaking through production bottlenecks, potentially accelerating the transition to scaled-up hydrogen manufacturing.
