Ventprom is a Russian machine building plant located in

private company
. The name ВЕНТПРОМ means "fan industry".

History

The plant was originally built in 1941 in Skopin, Ryazan Oblast, and initially was manufacturing coal mining equipment. In 1941, during the German invasion, the factory was evacuated to Ural and opened its doors in Artyomovsky. Although three weeks after evacuation the plant started to produce ammunition for the Red Army, even during the war it was involved in non-military production, for instance, drilling rigs equipment. The plant won a number of state awards for best products.

After the war the Soviet government decided that the factory should remain in Artyomovsky. It was further expanded to produce

axial flow fans
for metro, PTO-16M, PTO-18 PTO-24 VOMD-2.4, which are currently used in subway ventilation systems in Russia and abroad. At the end of 80-s, prior to the collapse of USSR, Ventpom's annual fan production peaked at 1,200 pieces, boasting of export to over 30 countries. A new line of gas exhaust fans, local ventilation fans, new single-stage blowers for metros were developed at that time.

In the 2000s, Ventprom adopted a number of German engineering designs and produced a new line of standard size fans designed for the extraction of methane-air mixture from the mine workings. Implementing cutting plasma systems and Japanese welding robots, Ventprom is currently one of the most up-to-date factories in Russia.[3]

Operations

Ventprom supplies a wide range of ventilation products for underground ventilation, including variable and simple fixed pitch axial flow main ventilation fans, centrifugal and mixed flow ventilation fans with radial vanes, mixed flow ventilation fans, smaller fans for auxiliary and booster application, among others.[4]
