Metallic bipolar plates from EKPO

  • Made of corrosion-resistant steels
  • Compact design
  • Cost-efficient processes and materials
  • Various coating options

  • Functional plate design right through to series production developed in conjunction with customers

  • Optimum power density and cold start capability of PEMFC
  • Production with high-precision progressive tools
  • Fully automated, networked production process

Elastomer/metal elastomer sealing systems

  • e.g. bipolar plates with integrated gaskets or sealing of individual cell levels
  • XL dimensions possible
  • For components in high-pressure applications
  • Reliable sealing even with low sealing pressures
  • Equalization of high component tolerances
  • Three-dimensional shaping
  • Reduction of screw force and number of screws
  • Elastomer materials developed in-house by ElringKlinger

MetaloSeal™ metal bead gaskets

  • e.g. compressor seals
  • Thanks to numerous combination options for metals and elastomers, can be adapted precisely to the relevant requirements
  • Functional coatings, e.g. conductive coating for EMC shielding
  • Installed in direct line of force
  • Positioning plates and retaining clips for quick and reliable installation, vertical and upside down
  • High media, temperature and pressure resistance

TopSeal™ deep-drawn covers

  • e.g. service cover, FCCU cover
  • Topographic support of the integrated seal using embossed stoppers
  • Improved corrosion resistance
  • With functional integration, e.g. screws, ventilation elements

  • Best possible screening against electromagnetic radiation

TopSeal™: Deep-drawn cover with seal in single component.
