Lamina®

Lamina® micro fuel cell has a laminated design which gives it unique properties

The micro fuel cell Lamina® has a patented laminated design that gives it unique properties: It is thin, light and modular, scalable and flexible. Therefore, it can be easily mounted in limited spaces where traditional stacked fuel cells cannot fit. At the same time, Lamina delivers the highest possible energy density per volume and surface area.

CUSTOMER CUSTOMIZATION

Lamina’s® standard box has room for 24 Lamina® modules, which together generate 240 W, a
suitable power for logistics robots and e-bikes. At the same time, the Lamina architecture is
scalable and therefore the customer can get any desired power, for example seven modules in one box (70 W) or ten interconnected boxes (2,400 W).

HYBRID SOLUTIONS

Lamina® can be combined with accumulators, e.g. batteries, in hybrid solutions that create a reliable energy and power system. It is a combination that enables high electrical performance and optimizes the lifetime of the accumulators.

Lamina 24 moduler

An assembled Lamina® with 24 modules provides an output of 240 W.

The Lamina® technology's measurable benefits compared to traditional fuel cells

Lamina® fuel cells are not only lighter, more compact and therefore more flexible than traditional stacked fuel cells. Above all, they are more cost-effective. Expressed in numbers:

The Lamina® technology reduces AGV/AMR fleet size by up to 25% thanks to the ultra-short charging time.
Thanks to reduced AGV/AMR fleet and reduced infrastructure for charging, the need for
premises space is also reduced.
The advantages above also mean a reduced initial investment, which in total results in an 8-20% lower TCO.
The Lamina® technology provides a significantly improved environmental footprint.
Lamina® technology enables operation below 0 °C.
Lamina small and flat

Planar Lamina Solution allows packaging in small areas.

The differences between a fuel cell and a regular battery

A battery is a product that stores electrical current. Charging a dead battery involves a significant time interruption.
A fuel cell is a product that generates electrical current. It works as long as there is fuel.
The fuel cell’s fuel is hydrogen and oxygen. The refueling time in relation to the operating time is negligible. The hydrogen is usually supplied in gas bottles, while the oxygen is drawn from the surrounding air.
Continuous operation of the fuel cell is ensured by several subsystems working in productive
harmony.
