Reducing Noise Pollution with WaySafe’s SE Series Sound Reducing Kit
Challenge: Protecting Our Operators from Excessive Noise
At Impregnation Services, we pride ourselves on being a leader in porosity sealing, providing high-quality solutions to our clients. However, one of our essential machines, a dot peen marking system used for engraving serial numbers and part identifications, posed a significant challenge.
The machine produced a loud, high-frequency noise that frequently exceeded safe levels, reaching 89.4 dB. This created concerns for the health and well-being of our operators and disturbed everyone in our building. We recognised the need to reduce the noise and create a safer and more comfortable working environment, ensuring our team could focus without distractions or risks to their hearing.
Solution: WaySafe’s SE Series Soundproofing Kit
To address this challenge, we turned to WaySafe, experts in operator protection. They recommended their SE Series Soundproof Kit, a fully insulated safety enclosure designed to reduce noise significantly while maintaining full accessibility for machine operation and maintenance.
The results were impressive. Once the enclosure was installed, the noise level dropped from 89.4 dB to just 59 dB – a 30-decibel reduction. This brought the machine well within safe operating limits, ensuring our team could work comfortably without worrying about excessive noise.
Benefits of the Solution
Since implementing the SE Series Soundproof Kit, we’ve seen a host of benefits:
- Enhanced Operator Safety: The reduced noise levels protect our operators from potential hearing damage and reduce workplace fatigue.
- Mechanical Protection: The soundproof enclosure also provides an additional layer of mechanical protection.
- Improved Productivity: With a quieter environment, our team can focus better on their tasks, improving efficiency and output.
- Greater Employee Satisfaction: Our team appreciates the investment in their well-being, which has led to a noticeable boost in morale.
- Cleaner Work Environment: The enclosure also helps contain swarf and debris, keeping the workspace cleaner and safer for everyone.
Conclusion
Working with WaySafe has been a game-changer for Impregnation Services. Their SE Series Soundproof Kit not only solved a critical challenge but also reinforced our commitment to providing a safe, comfortable, and efficient working environment for our employees.
We’re thrilled with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend WaySafe to any business facing similar noise pollution challenges.
