Info & Guides

Description

Move large volumes of air with the Ruck Air Movement 18-inch Axialine 4979 CFM Tubeaxial Fan, an industrial-grade solution engineered for high-volume ventilation in warehouses, production floors, paint booths, and parking garages.

Designed around a premium IE3 motor and an optimized blade profile, it delivers up to 4,979 CFM while keeping energy use in check, so you get strong, steady airflow without runaway operating costs. Built for reliable ventilation, this compact 3-phase fan excels in hot, dusty, or humid environments. 

Key Features and Benefits of the Ruck Air Movement Axialine 18-Inch Tubeaxial Fan

  • High-Output: Outputs an airflow up to 4,979 CFM with a maximum static pressure of 280 Pa, quickly clearing heat, fumes, or moisture from large spaces.
  • Premium IE3 Motor: The 1 HP motor meets top-tier efficiency standards, reducing energy draw and supporting lower long-term operating costs.
  • Variable-Speed Ready: Compatible with frequency drives, so you can dial in exact airflow for each job, trim noise, and further optimize power consumption.
  • Rugged Weather Protection: The IPX4 fan housing and IP55 terminal box shield critical components from dust and water splashes, ideal for tough industrial settings.
  • Easy Install: Weighing 56 pounds, the fan installs easily in inline duct runs or on mounting brackets.
  • Wide Operating Range: Performs in temperatures from ‑4 to 140 degrees F, ensuring year-round reliability in unconditioned spaces.
  • Simple Electrical Integration: Dual-voltage 230/400 V 50 Hz and 460 V 60 Hz compatibility connects seamlessly to common 3-phase power supplies.

Why Blade Design Matters

The Ruck Air Movement tubeaxial fan features around a computer-modeled blade profile that outputs an impressive airflow volume, even in high static pressure situations, maximizing output at each RPM. This means faster air changes in enclosed areas without excessive motor strain. 

By combining forward-curved tips with a precise 18-inch diameter, the fan maintains steady velocity over long duct runs, which is helpful when venting paint fumes or directing conditioned air to distant work zones. The result is stronger, smoother, and more energy-efficient air movement compared to traditional stamped-blade fans.

Sylvane's Expert Take

Ruck’s 18-inch Axialine Tubeaxial Fan meets the requirements for facilities that need industrial airflow in a manageable package. The strong 1 HP IE3 motor, variable-speed flexibility, and durable steel build that shrugs off heat, dust, and moisture are all standout features of this fan.

If your project calls for a dependable, energy-wise axial fan that’s easy to integrate into existing ductwork, this model stands out as a smart, future-proof pick.
