Noise reduction strategy update for mineral industry

Industrial plants are often faced with both environmental and workstations noise problems. There are cases where the two problems intersect.

On the basis of a detailed analysis of the noise emission to the environment carried out under a previous order, a wall was selected through which noise from inside the hall was transmitted to the environment. A machine, which cycles on and off and generates a short-lived noise at very high levels, proved problematic. The aim of this analysis was to create a noise reduction strategy for the interior of the hall to meet the requirements for workstations and environmental noise emissions.

The analysis identified the main areas of noise emission from the machine and a NoiseBuster acoustic enclosure was proposed as the first step of the noise reduction strategy.
In subsequent steps, vibration-acoustic isolation of selected machine components was proposed.
