Ventilators for Shipbuilding Worldwide – Solutions for Maritime Applications

Ventilator Solutions for International Shipbuilding

Ventilators perform central tasks on ships and in maritime facilities for ventilation, cooling, air routing and safety. They must operate reliably even under demanding conditions while meeting high requirements for energy efficiency, corrosion protection and operational safety.

Witt & Sohn develops and manufactures ventilator solutions for international shipbuilding. The systems are used on merchant, naval and special vessels as well as in maritime infrastructure projects worldwide.

Ventilator Solutions for Merchant, Naval and Special Vessels

Ventilators are used in numerous areas of a ship. These include engine rooms, technical rooms, ventilation systems as well as various
process and safety applications.


Depending on requirements, Witt & Sohn develops solutions for:


• Merchant vessels
• Naval vessels
• Special vessels
• Offshore supply vessels

Axial fans, centrifugal fans and project-specific
special solutions are used for this purpose.

Corrosion Protection for Maritime Applications

Salt water and humid environments place special demands on materials and surfaces. For this reason, ventilators are equipped with suitable corrosion protection systems and durable materials.

Depending on the project, different materials, coatings and protection concepts can be considered to ensure safe long-term operation.

Custom Solutions for International Projects

Every ship has different requirements for air volumes, pressure ranges, installation situations and technical interfaces. Witt & Sohn therefore develops both standard products and customer-specific special solutions for international shipbuilding projects.

Close collaboration with shipyards, plant manufacturers and engineering firms results in economical solutions for a wide range of maritime applications.
