Title Noise control at rotary drying machines
Original title Wyciszanie hałasu w suszarniach bębnowych [in Polish]
Bibliographic information Jan. 1975, No.1, p.6-7. Illus.
Abstract Description of a new noise control system for rotary fodder and potato dryers, approved by the Polish Ministry of Agriculture. The system comprises sandlime-brick or concrete enclosures and walls to isolate the chief sources of noise, and readily erected and dismantled panels of a rubber- and asbestos-based fireproof material to damp vibration from the main exhaust duct. The system reduces the noise level by several decibels over the entire frequency range to values below the maximum tolerable limits, and at the same time helps to improve the environmental heat and dust conditions.
