Industrial Soundproofing projects and Industrial Noise Reduction Projects

Food Company

A major frozen food company whose products were transported by conveyor around the factory had several points in the process where food dropped onto a metal guide. This caused a high level of noise through vibration on impact.

Noisekiller Liquid was considered the best solution to the problem, as traditional sound proofing materials could not be used in a food environment. The Noisekiller liquid applied to the outside of the guide reduced the impact noise.

The operatives and management were pleased with the noise reduction and Noisekiller have been involved in further noise reduction projects involving the motors driving machinery within the plant.

Plastic Sheet Producing Company

A plastic sheet producing company had a machine that recycled sheeting back into granules for further use. Although housed inside a sound reduction booth the machine was still producing decibel levels above acceptable levels.

By using Noisekiller Acoustic Lead Sandwich along with Noisekiller liquid all around the casing, and also refitting the seals of the sound booth doors and framework, the levels were reduced both inside and outside the sound booth.

The customer thus achieved a reduction in noise that kept the overall levels in the main room within government guidelines.

Sewage Plant

A sewage plant contained a pump that was causing excessive levels of noise when used intermittently.

After examination of the project it was felt that the best solution was to reduce the noise as close as possible to the pump by using a sound reduction blanket of lead and acoustic foam with a fireproof cover. The air outlet of the pump could not be covered so it was also decided to use Noisekiller profiled acoustic foam on the walls close to the air outlet to absorb the airborne sounds.

The result achieved was to the satisfaction of the client and kept the noise levels under the government guidelines.

Quick Fit

Noisekiller were asked to help Quick Fit Scaffold Towers of Shipley to investigate the noise produced by machines used to cut tubular steel to length. As the machines were in close proximity to other operatives the noise in the general working area was unacceptable to the management.

The first part of the project meant reducing the noise of the machine and its metal casing as close to the source of the noise as possible to reduce the decibel level released into the atmosphere. This was achieved by using a combination of Noisekiller Lead Sandwich acoustic sheets, Noisekiller Vibrasorb acoustic sheets and Noisekiller anti vibration Barrier Mat. Once each of the machines had been sound proofed further Noisekiller Egg Box acoustic foam was placed around the walls of the room and close to the machines to absorb the airborne sounds.

This solution meant that Quick Fit reduced the decibel level to within government health and safety guidelines.

DLA Holdings

Noise Killer were called inby DLA Holdings of Leeds who had installeda large computer server in the main office which was causing noise to the annoyance of the staff.

Noise Killer used a combinationof profiled acoustic foam (egg box) to absorb the airborne noises within the server, and Barrier Mat to reduce the vibration causedby the metal framework of the casing.

The use of these materials provided a quieter working environment for all members of staff working in the office.

Port Solent

Noise from the generator working the crane was causing problems for the operative both in terms of noise and vibrations, meaning that he could not hear the instructions to lift the boat from the water as he stood directly on top of the engine housing.

Noise Killer lined the sides of the generator engine housing with Noise Killer Lead Sandwich and used Noise Killer vibrasorb material for the roof of the housing.

The use of these materials helped to absorb the sound of the engine,and reduce vibrations above the housing where the operative worked. This resulted in a better working environment for theoperative and a reduced noise level from the engine, allowing the operative to hear the verbal instructions clearly.
