What is a Acoustic-Enclosure?
An acoustic enclosure in industrial factories is a specially designed structure used to reduce noise pollution from machinery and equipment. These enclosures help in controlling the noise levels to meet regulatory standards and protect workers’ hearing.
Some Benefits of Acoustic Enclosures are:
- Noise Reduction: Acoustic enclosures can significantly reduce noise levels, often by 15dB to 50dB.
- Vibration Isolation: They help in isolating vibrations, which can also contribute to noise reduction.
- Custom Design: These enclosures can be custom-designed to fit specific machinery and include features like access hatches, windows, and ventilation systems.
- Versatility: They can be used for various applications, including compressors, generators, and other noisy equipment.
- Health and Safety: By reducing noise, they help in creating a safer and more comfortable working environment for employees
Project details:
- Client had asked us to build housing for 3 grandulation units.
- The enclosures were 9 metres x 9 meteres 3.6 tall.
- The design was made with a selection of columns and beams, that were designed by our in-house team and calculated in accordance to EN 1090 class 2 and hot dipped and galvanised.
- With the installation process was a challange due to the team working around existing structures, machines and pathways.
- To deal with this unique configuration, our internal team requested the internal schematics of the building and split the area into small manageable chunks to work around our clients needs.
- The clients requested that we worked the nightshift, so that we wouldn’t affect day-to-day operations.
- Installation took place from 7am-7pm
Sound Details:
- When the machine was running the average noise was around 140 dB
- The clients requested to reduce the noise to around 70-90 dB, when outside of the enclosure.
- A dense 50mm soundproof panel was selected and imported from Denmark.
What is EN 1090 Class with hot-dip galvanising?
EN 1090 Class 2 refers to the execution class for steel and aluminum structures, specifying the quality and safety standards required. When it comes to hot-dip galvanizing under this class, it involves coating the steel components with a layer of zinc to protect against corrosion.
Hot-dip galvanizing for EN 1090 Class 2 structures must comply with the requirements of EN ISO 1461, which covers the specifications for the coating process and the quality of the zinc layer.
This ensures that the galvanized steel components meet the necessary durability and performance standards for structural applications.
What are granulation units?
Granulation units in industrial factories are used to convert fine powders into larger, more manageable granules.
This process is essential in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food processing. Granulation improves the flow properties, reduces dust, and enhances the compressibility of the materials.
There are two main types of granulation processes:
Wet Granulation: This involves adding a liquid binder to the powder mixture, which helps the particles stick together. The mixture is then dried and milled to achieve the desired granule size.
Dry Granulation: This process does not use any liquid. Instead, the powder is compacted under high pressure to form larger particles, which are then milled to the required size. Granulation units can be part of continuous or batch production systems, depending on the specific requirements of the manufacturing process
