Hess Engineering: Metalforming Technologies

Applications : Fuel Cell

A fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device that converts hydrogen and oxygen into water, and in the process it produces electricity. Practical implementation of fuel cell technology remains in the developmental phases. Environmental emissions associated with this process are significantly lower than conventional combustion energy sources. The need, however, for catalytic converter technology to minimize such emissions remains.

Our catalytic converter machines can insert the substrate(s), size the tube, spin the ends and mark the finished product. Additionally, our spinforming, flowforming and shrinking/expanding technologies can be used in the manufacturing of pressure containers for fuel cell applications.
