Intelligent electric actuation for ventilation and airflow
Automated positioning of dampers and vents for industrial ventilation, extraction and environmental control — with the same low-power SMART technology used across RIFT’s range.
Manual dampers waste energy
Fixed or manually set dampers cannot respond to occupancy, process load or air quality.
Typical applications
- Industrial ventilation
- Extraction systems
- Environmental control
- Specialist dampers
- Automated vents
Airflow controlHow RIFT helps: Ventilation & dampers
Precise damper positioning
Modulating control for accurate airflow.
Adjustable speed
Smooth transitions without pressure spikes.
Failsafe control
Defined damper position on power loss.
Remote operation
Integrate with BMS and control systems.
The RIFT stack, applied to Ventilation & dampers
Add the layers your application needs. The actuator stays fully functional at every level.
