| Abstract |
Measurements indicated a sound level of close to 100dB at various workplaces of a concrete block factory (press control desk, handling by hand tongs, industrial truck driver). The press was insulated by a general enclosure composed of metal sheet fixed in a metal frame by means of foam rubber connections, lined with isorel plates and having a special vibration-resistant coating. For transport of the blocks from machine to workshop a mobile trapdoor synchronised with the movement of the mould was installed. These measures reduced noise levels by 15dBA. |
