Minimizing Waste, Maximizing Efficiency for Fuel Cell Manufacturing
Our machines enable you to scale up for high-speed, high-volume production.
When it comes to coating and converting the delicate, expensive substrates used in fuel cell production, reducing material waste and increasing production efficiency are crucial. In fact, they can make the difference between a manufacturer’s success or failure.
Delta ModTech has designed and built full-production machines that maximize the efficiency of your fuel cell production processes, empowering you to gain a marketplace edge with exceptional capabilities.
Membrane Coating and Converting Demo
This video demonstrates the advanced membrane coating and converting capabilities of Delta ModTech machines. We take catalyst ink all the way through production to create a roll of converted membrane’s. Using patch-coating and a proprietary drying process, we produce membrane patches on an aluminum foil substrate.

A Range of Capabilities for Fuel Cell Manufacturing
Delta ModTech supports the coating and converting of:
- Alkaline fuel cells
- Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (aka PEMFCs)
Membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs)
The MEA is a critical component in PEMFC. Delta ModTech machines are designed to produce MEAs with high precision and extreme efficiency. This includes the following layers that typically comprise a complete MEA component:
- Catalyst coated membranes (CCMs)
- Proton exchange membranes (PEMs)
- Gas diffusion layers (GDLs)
Flexible machines for a range of complexity
The modular design of our machines gives you the flexibility to take on projects that vary widely in their complexity. Depending on your needs, Delta ModTech coating and converting machines can provide a range of capabilities, including the following:
- Automated coating and drying in single or multiple layers
- Laser cutting and etching
- Die cutting
- Heating lamination
- Roll-to-roll or discrete part production
