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 100% Yield: Hydrogen bipolar plate stamping technology, achieving 60 plates per minute and a 100% 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 global leader in metal stamping technology, 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, guaranteeing absolute 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 cutting-edge 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.
