Metal Bipolar & Cooling Plates for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Production & Electrolysis

As global demand for clean and sustainable energy surges, Switzer is your premier partner in manufacturing metal flow field and cooling plates essential for hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen generation. Our flow field plates deliver outstanding electrical and thermal conductivity, featuring channel customization option enhance output and efficiency.

Our rapid prototyping and seamless scale-up processes deliver metal flow field plates and the supporting components for bipolar plates quicker and more affordably than conventional manufacturing. Partner with Switzer to turn production challenges into distinct advantages and drive innovation forward.

When compared to stamping or forming manufacturing methods, our photochemical machining has efficiencies built into every step of the process to produce precise and complex metal bipolar plates and meshes with ease.

Our process scales seamlessly from prototype through production. Our engineering team will work with you to develop a manufacturable flow field plate for prototype and pre-production, and when you are ready to scale up, you can rest easy knowing you can expect the same exact product in production volumes as you successfully tested at lower volumes.

Etched foil heating elements allow you to control temperature when you need to. Our unique designs have helped the following industries:

Photochemical machining (PCM), also known as photochemical etching, can be a game changer when it comes to prototyping flow field plates for hydrogen electrolysis and hydrogen fuel cell stacks.

Hydrogen, often hailed as the fuel of the future, is a versatile energy carrier that can be produced from a wide array of sources and processes. Depending on the production method, hydrogen is classified into several types, each characterized by its environmental impact and feedstock. Here, we’ll outline some of the more common hydrogen production methods being used and explored to power our future.

At Switzer, we know the world is going to adopt hydrogen fuel cell usage rapidly during the next five years. You need a partner who can produce in bipolar plates for high volumes to keep up with that demand. A consultation with our sales team is more than a quote, because Switzer does more than make your parts. Schedule your consultation to discuss:
