Maximator’s new H2 Factory with a Fuel Cell Truck

Mathias Kurras presents our new hydrogen flagship.

Maximator are working to advance our ideas and developments for mobility solutions.

With this in mind, Mathias Kurras presents our new hydrogen flagship – The first of our factories devoted to Hydrogen systems for refuelling.

Maximator UK offers systems from across the Maximator companies for Hydrogen. From full scale “highway” refuelling station systems such as those made in Mr. Kurras’ factory, to systems for small fleet operators to pilot and test equipment for Hydrogen.

New Work Placement Apprentice Builds His First Machine

Our new work placement apprentice has built his first machine!
 
James, a 16 year old engineering apprentice at Warrington and Vale Royal College, has begun a 22 week placement with us at Winsford fluid systems specialist Maximator.
 
In only his third week, he has completed and tested his first machine, an air amplifier station. The amplifier station boosts the pressure of air for use in factories where the air compressor doesn’t have enough pressure.
 
“Under the watchful eye of Ricky, James has completed his first build and we are very proud of him” said Maximator MD Jon Butler. “We are delighted to have James with us. Engineering is my passion and I started my career in a very similar way as an apprentice many years ago. We look forward to helping James start his journey in the engineering world and imparting some of our knowledge”.
 

First H2 Project

We are proud to be involved in this great new project to deliver green refuelling capability at Mira’s world class facility in Nuneaton. Maximator’s contribution is MAX Compression, our Hydrogen compression technology, and MAX RECAB, a manifold system to allow connection to storage systems. Read more about the project on MIRA’s website, and watch their exciting video below.

Maximator UK Completes Extreme Temperature Testing System

Last week saw this containerised test system leaving Maximator UK for its new home. This system is a fully automatic cyclic test system for testing up to three high pressure vessels with high pressure air at up to 450 Bar. It can also cool down to -50°C and heat up to +80°C.

While it looks like an unassuming blue sea container, its contents are pretty high-tech” said Maximator UK Sales Manager Peter Watts. “You can program in test profiles, load and save them, and the system produces and logs data for analysis”.

Maximator’s Jon Butler added “This was a real technical challenge for us, and -50 is not easy to achieve, but the work has been worthwhile. This is a real achievement for the Maximator UK team”.

Maximator UK’s First Road Trip Since Lockdown.

Jon, Craig and Peter spent most of last week at Maximator’s Global headquarters in Nordhausen, Germany, getting to grips with the firm’s latest Hydrogen refuelling technologies.

Spending time at each of Maximator’s three factories in the town, they were able to meet up with colleagues for the first time since the beginning of 2020!

“Maximator has undergone an intensive program of development and now has a leading position in hydrogen technologies” said Jon Butler. “There is a lot to learn, but it is clear we have a very comprehensive offering for refilling vehicles and storage facilities with hydrogen across the range”. 

Technical Chief Craig McAfee added “This really is an impressive organisation focused on Hydrogen compression. Within the next few quarters, we will have capacity to build more than 100 refuelling stations per year, with an integrated first line support team monitoring telemetry from every station.”
