Infinitum Selected for DOE Funding to Enhance Clean Energy Production
AUSTIN, Texas--Infinitum, the pioneering company behind sustainable air-core motor technology, proudly announces its selection among 14 innovative companies by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC). This funding initiative aims to foster clean energy manufacturing in communities affected by coal plant closures, seeking to address critical vulnerabilities within the energy supply chain.
Establishment of a New Manufacturing Facility
Infinitum's proposed project involves the creation of a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility dedicated to producing high-powered printed circuit board (HP-PCB) stators. These stators serve as essential components for Infinitum’s advanced axial-flux motors, which are utilized across various sectors including vital data centers, commercial HVAC systems, pumps, and other industrial applications. The ambition is to establish this facility in Rockdale, Texas, potentially generating 170 jobs in operations and 125 construction-related positions in the local area.
Unlocking Advanced Motor Technology
The innovative HP-PCB stators are paramount to the efficiency and lightweight design of Infinitum's electric motors. Their applications extend beyond just motors; they are integral in various green technology solutions such as inverters, power converters, and generators. Currently, the global supply of HP-PCBs is limited, with few manufacturers producing these critical components, primarily overseas. Infinitum stands out with an impressive portfolio of more than 100 pending and issued patents that reflect a commitment to reducing copper usage and minimizing waste through an innovative manufacturing process.
