Ruskin’s Extreme Performance Louvers and Dampers meet or surpass code requirements

Ruskin, the authority in air control products, exhibited its solutions for extreme conditions, specifically the EME6325D Louver and CD60 Control Damper, at the highly attended AHR Expo 2016 in Orlando, Florida January 25-27. 

“Once again, Ruskin was the dominant damper and louver manufacturer supporting our customers,” says Tim Vogel, Director of Air Control Solutions.  

“By participating in the annual AHR Expo, we see real value in the opportunity to get our products and expert personnel in front of the industry’s designers, installing contractors, and decision makers.” 

Ruskin’s louver and damper products are designed and tested for extreme weather conditions and critical applications. Ruskin "Extreme Performance" Louvers and Dampers are recommended to meet or surpass requirements of severe weather conditions, and code requirements, while protecting life and property. Perhaps the most frightening part about natural disasters and extreme weather is the unpredictable nature about when it will occur and how severe the damage will be. Engineers and architects know that the best approach to attacking an extreme situation is to prepare for all the risk factors, meaning designing buildings that can withstand high winds and other known extreme conditions.

Ruskin’s
CD60 Control Damper has been a driver in the industry for nearly 40 years and most recently has been upgraded to meet or exceed the requirements for most extreme applications. The expanded CD60 series includes a stainless steel option with the same airfoil blade profile.The CD60 features facilitate ease of installation and the ability for customization and flexibility for most commercial applications. The patented single piece frame utilizes mechanical clinching at 24 locations, making it 40% stronger than its predecessor and the strongest in the industry. This results in a quick and easy installation, eliminating racking and subsequent leakage issues. 

“Our CD60 damper is the most specified product in the industry,” says Vogel.  “The latest enhancements were well received by all.”   

Ruskin also displayed more than 20 product solutions for critical conditions and special applications.
