“Corum Druzhkovka Machine-Building Plant (Corum DrMZ), a part of Corum Group (DTEK Energy), will complete the production of a second mine fan for Blagodatnaya mine at Geroyev Kosmosa Mine this fall, the company said.
“At the end of 2023, the plant manufactured and delivered the first VOD-30M2 to the customer, and is now working on the second similar fan, which will be ready this fall. The new equipment is to replace the old fan that has reached the end of its service life,” the plant’s Facebook page says.
The complexity of the order is that the new equipment needs to be installed on an existing foundation.
The report reminds that VOD-30M2 is a two-stage axial fan with a 3 m impeller diameter and a capacity of 1250 kW (equivalent to the power of 8-16 passenger cars). The capacity is 160 cubic meters per second.
“Corum DrMZ, which will be relocated to Dnipro in 2022, manufactured 46 units of mining equipment in July this year to order from DTEK Energy mines.
According to Opendatabot, in 2023, the plant earned UAH 500 million in net profit, compared to a loss of UAH 453 million a year earlier, with net income increasing 2.7 times to UAH 1 billion 530 million.
Corum Group is a leading manufacturer of mining equipment in Ukraine. It is a part of DTEK Energy, the operating company responsible for coal mining and coal-fired power generation within Rinat Akhmetov’s DTEK energy holding.
