“It is encouraging to see our local policymakers engaging with the community to identify issues most important to us. In response to questions about tomorrow’s demand for skilled labor in our workforce, Congressman Cleaver stressed the importance of investing in local community colleges to ensure specific skills, required by trades, are properly funded. Funding of local charter schools continues to be a focus and benefits local businesses like Ruskin. Clearly, when considering tomorrow’s business needs, investing in a diverse, well-educated, and innovative workforce is our best path toward remaining competitive in a global business landscape.”

“We are pleased to offer these easy-to-access instructional videos to our customers” 

Ruskin has created a series of YouTube videos designed to help field technicians with the installation, maintenance, and service of Ruskin dampers, louvers, and other air control products.

Many new videos are in production for the Ruskin product installation/feature video series.

Take a look at the latest Ruskin installation video. It demonstrates Ruskin Life Safety damper actuator relocation from external to internal – for dampers under 21” tall with EFL (Electronic Fuse Link) and actuator MS4120 Series, FSAF (A) and FSNF Series

The Ruskin BTR-250 heavy-duty isolation damper is ideally suited for system containment or decontamination applications commonly found in laboratories, medical facilities, clean rooms and federal buildings. Designed to provide bubble-tight airflow leakage performance in systems with up to 10 in. wg pressure, the BTR-250 meets the requirements of the bubble test as described in AMCA Standard 500-D. Every BTR-250 is leakage tested to 10 in. wg at the factory.

The BTR-250 is available in sizes ranging from 4 to 36 inches in diameter (I.D.) and includes a flanged channel frame for ease of installation. While the BTR-250 built to standard construction includes round flanges, Ruskin offers this model with an optional square flange design to support all jobsite mounting challenges.
Additional options include factory-drilled mounting hole patterns in flanges, factory-supplied and mounted actuators, and switches.

Thank you to our Ruskin Representatives who attended the training at the Milwaukee School of Engineering this week, followed by a classroom for sales essentials training at the JCI offices in Milwaukee

Ruskin^®, recently began a strategic partnership with the Buildings Products and Channel Learning team to elevate the sales training sessions available to Ruskin sales representatives. The partnership led to the creation of Amelia Airflow, a character dedicated to explaining the functions of a building’s HVAC system through an animated video.

Amelia, along with her sidekicks known as “The Amelions,” was introduced at the AHR Tradeshow held recently in Atlanta. “Amelia Airflow: A Basic HVAC Mission,” provides viewers with foundational education on building airflow through Ruskin® air control equipment, illustrating its movement through duct systems before it is distributed in spaces where we work or live.

Creating Amelia Airflow required cross-collaboration between graphic designers, artists, technical instructors and learning-experience designers, all of whom partnered with Ruskin product managers to craft her story. The highly-detailed product descriptions and realistic HVAC system design provide viewers with an engaging and educational opportunity to learn more about the journey that fresh air takes to keep you comfortable!
