BLAUBEUREN, GERMANY – hy-fcell will once again take place in Stuttgart on 8 and 9 October 2024. The leading international trade fair and conference for hydrogen and fuel cell technology is THE meeting place for the industry and offers both experts and newcomers the ideal platform to discuss technological advances, transfer knowledge and open up international markets – for the first time, Rehm Thermal Systems will be exhibiting a system for drying fuel cells.

As an internationally active company, Rehm Thermal Systems fulfils its responsibility to protect the environment in a variety of ways: by using predominantly regional raw materials, low material consumption, short transport routes through productions in Germany and China and reliable recycling of materials, high-quality and durable systems with low energy consumption and minimal emissions are manufactured on which customers can sustainably produce new technologies for the energy transition.

For some years now, hydrogen has been seen as a beacon of hope for the energy and climate transition: in hydrogen fuel cells, it acts as a fuel and oxygen as an oxidizing agent. This chemical energy is converted directly into electrical energy and heat. The applications for hydrogen fuel cells range from heat and power supply to the propulsion of vehicles, aircraft and ships.

Within the process chain for manufacturing fuel cells, Rehm Thermal Systems offers innovative drying systems. These are used to produce both PEM cells – the so-called low-temperature fuel cells – and the high- temperature fuel cells based on ceramic (SOFC) or metallic (MSC) membrane materials. The Rehm experts will be on hand in Hall 4 at Booth 4C19 to advise you on the individual options and system configurations for your fuel cell production.

Optimal drying process for reliable results

The heat management of the Rehm drying system with upper and lower heaters works with infrared radiation (IR) and/or convection to dry a wide range of materials. By implementing these two heat transfer processes, the systems are optimally designed for processing coating materials that contain solvents. The exceptional thermal insulation of the heating zones and the individually adjustable temperatures allow for optimum profiling of your drying processes – perfectly tailored to the requirements in fuel cell production.

Simple operation and process traceability

The Visu operating software of the Rehm drying systems has an intuitive touch interface, which facilitates a familiarization with the software and significantly reduces the need for operator training: All the relevant parameters are visible at a glance on the main screen with its machine view.

In addition, the drying process can be documented for each product using appropriate tools and can be integrated into the traceability programme. We look forward to your visit and the opportunity to discuss the individual challenges of your manufacturing or production with you in person: we will find the right solution for you – in keeping with the tradition of the state of inventors and tinkerers!

NASHVILLE – KYZEN, the global leader in innovative environmentally responsible cleaning chemistries, will exhibit at IMTS 2024, scheduled to take place September 9-14, 2024 at McCormick Place in Chicago. The KYZEN Clean Team will be offering cleaning expertise to meet a wide array of metal cleaning challenges.

KYZEN proudly offers a complete line of products to meet the challenges faced by many manufacturers today. KYZEN provides cleaning solutions for a variety of needs, from replacing solvents that may soon be hard to obtain or completely banned, to finding a chemistry that cleans and protects metal parts with a single solution for the entire process, and much more.

Cleaning chemistries from KYZEN are designed to be effective for precision metal and critical cleaning applications including medical devices, automotive, defense and aerospace. Whether the cleaning process and challenges demand aqueous cleaning agents, vacuum degreasing solvent cleaners, or vapor degreasing solvents, KYZEN will work to find the solution that fits your particular cleaning need.

For example, KYZEN provides options to “future-proof” cleaning processes from bans and restrictions with solvent replacements to serve as safe alternatives for traditional solvent cleaning processes affected by recent EPA restrictions and the current phasedown in production of materials containing PFAS and HFCs. They also offer drop-in replacements for 3M Novec solvents that will soon be unavailable.

Regardless of process or the cleaning objective, KYZEN is prepared to provide chemistries to meet the challenge. Make plans to stop by Booth #338775 at IMTS and chat with their cleaning experts!

SEOUL – PEMTRON, an inspection equipment developer and supplier, today announced plans to exhibit at the upcoming KPCA Show, taking place Sept. 4-6, 2024 in Korea. Attendees will find PEMTRON at Booth J401, where the company will demonstrate its state-of-the-art POSEIDON and 8800AI inspection systems.

Introducing POSEIDON: PEMTRON’s advanced solution for wafer warpage measurement and FC-BGA bump inspection
For wafer warpage measurement, POSEIDON quickly and accurately measures warpage across the entire wafer surface. It analyzes flatness and coplanarity based on accurate 3D data and provides swift and precise profile and mapping data. For FC-BGA bump inspection, POSEIDON identifies fine defects with high-resolution imaging and conducts various inspections such as PCB warpage, bump height, bump coplanarity, bridging, large bump, and missing bump detection. It supports inspections of processes like wire bonding, bumped wafers, and Micro LED, and ensures accurate parameter measurement through 3D profiling.

Showcasing the 8800AI: an intelligent visual inspection system for FC-BGA and various PCBs
The 8800AI uses advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence to detect defects like foreign materials, stains, and scratches. It enhances FTY rates with PemBrain AI and supports full inspection of TOP & BOTTOM using an automated PCB logistics system.
