The noises that come from industrial facilities can cause an array of issues. Firstly, the sound can affect people on site. This could harm their health, wellbeing, and performance. Secondly, the sounds can disturb people nearby, whether it is homes or other businesses. Thirdly, the issue can harm wildlife in the area. With all of this in mind, it is important to have a serious look at industrial noise reduction.
There are a number of different ways for facilities to reduce noise. Ventx has a lot of knowledge of many of them as a leading producer of silencers. We want to take a quick look at some of the top methods you can use.
Damping
One of the things you can do is install damping to help improve the soundproofing. You can install materials on walls, floors, ceilings, chutes, tanks, panels, and more. The goal here is to make it harder for noise to escape as well as reduce the volume of the noises that do.
Fans
You have a number of options to reduce the noise that comes from loud fans. For example there are different silencers to choose from. You can also change the layout to remove anything that might disturb the airflow and cause noise. It may be a good idea to ensure the fans can work at their peak as well.
Ductwork
Ducts can be very noisy and also create an issue because there needs to be openings to install them. This can allow more sound to escape from the facility. What you need to do is fit silencers to the ductwork and seal it, especially around openings in walls and other surfaces. Both of these can block noises.
Pneumatic exhausts
Noise from these can be really loud. Luckily you can fit silencers to reduce it dramatically. You can choose a silencer to deal with noise from back pressure as well as the release of air.
There are many other things you can also do to reduce noise. This includes replacing pneumatic nozzles for quieter ones, getting quiet modern motors, and changing chain and timing belts.
