Ruck 16 Inch Prime Mixed Flow Moves 2,429 CFM
From 16 inches up the Prime range moves to 240V and an aluminium housing, and this is where that starts. It delivers 2,429 CFM on 353W at only 1.5A, which is a very low current for the airflow. The catch is that it runs at a fixed speed. There is no built-in switch, so any turndown comes from an external controller.
Sizing a Grow Room Ventilation Fan at 2,429 CFM
Plan the electrics before anything else, since that supply is a prerequisite rather than a detail. Once it is in, the low current draw keeps continuous running inexpensive, which is the real argument for this size. Because speed is fixed, pair it with an external controller if you want to bring the room down at night. Aluminium keeps the weight manageable for the diameter, though it is still a two-person lift into a ceiling position. Use the supplied bracket, and leave enough slack in the duct that the fan can be dropped for cleaning.
Key Features
- 2,429 CFM: Mixed flow output that holds pressure against a loaded filter.
- 353W at 1.5A: Published draw on 240V, so the circuit can be planned properly.
- 3D Shaped Impeller: The blade form Ruck uses to lift efficiency and drop noise.
- Aluminum Housing: Light for the size and easy to handle.
- Mounting Bracket Included: Hangs on its own support rather than loading the ductwork.
- Motor in the Hub: The motor sits inside the fan hub, out of the weather and the dust.
- Fixed Speed: Turndown comes from an external controller, not a built-in switch.
