Corum Druzhkivka Machine-Building Plant (Corum DrMZ), part of the Corum Group (DTEK Energy), has completed the manufacture of a powerful main ventilation fan for the Pavlogradska mine, the plant announced on its Facebook page.
The plant notes that the fan’s impeller has a diameter of 3 m and weighs 26 tons. For comparison, it cites the parameters of the aircraft engine of the world’s largest aircraft, the An-225 Mriya, which has a diameter of 2.33 m and weighs 5.7 tons.
“The fan is 14 m long and over 4 m high and wide. Due to its size, final assembly will take place at the customer’s site, while only partial assembly has been carried out at the plant,” the statement said.
Korum DrMZ notes that this is the fourth fan of this type it has manufactured since 2014 and the third since the company’s relocation.
The cost of the equipment is not disclosed.
According to YouControl, Korum DrMZ, which was relocated to Dnipro in 2022, reduced its losses by 30% in January-June this year compared to the first half of 2024, to UAH 49 million, while its net income fell by 16.8% to UAH 521.6 million.
