Elasto Proxy custom-fabricates polyurethane foam for vibration control and shock absorption.Excessive amounts of shock and vibration can cause equipment to malfunction and systems to fail. In some cases, such as…
Engine compartment insulation and cab insulation protects mobile equipment and operators against heat, noise, vibrations, and environmental conditions. The Elasto Bag, a sack full of samples from Elasto Proxy, contains…
These five acoustic insulation facts can help you to design better industrial equipment. Acoustic insulation reduces the amount of noise that workers hear. It’s used inside engine bays, mobile equipment…
https://youtu.be/AUqWcP6Ip1s Military vehicle insulation for heat, noise and vibration protects warfighters and equipment against conditions that can stop land systems in their tracks. These composite structures are used in engine…
Vibration damping for machines and equipment dissipates potentially-damaging energy that can reduce service life, loosen fasteners, and suggest poor quality. Vibration, a back-and-forth movement or oscillation, also produces structure-borne noise.…
Noise barriers for industrial noise control block unwanted sounds instead of absorbing or damping them. A form of acoustic insulation, noise blockers are made of dense materials and used at…
Do you need thermal, acoustic, or thermal-acoustic insulation for forestry, mining, construction, or other types of mobile equipment? Maybe you need cabin flooring or floormats instead. The Elasto Bag, a…
Vibration dampers dissipate the energy that causes resonant vibrations in built structures. Vibration, a back-and-forth movement or oscillation, produces structure-borne noise in machine enclosures, engine bays, generator sets, heavy trucks,…
Custom cab insulation absorbs sound and provides a finished appearance to mobile equipment interiors. This acoustic insulation can be cut by hand and applied with spray adhesives, but that process is expensive, wasteful, and even hazardous to human health. Plus, manual cutting can result in cabin insulation that’s unappealing. Buyers who see mis-cuts may question the quality of your overall equipment design.
As mobile equipment manufacturers are discovering, there’s a better way to design and build quieter cabs. Custom-fabricated insulation that’s waterjet cut creates straight lines and chamfered angles. There’s less material waste, reduced cutting times, and closer control of material usage. Engineers can also get design assistance and help with material selection. Installers can avoid messy, toxic spray adhesives.
Parts marking, kitting, and packaging provide benefits, too. By taking a closer look at how custom-fabricated cab insulation is made, you can determine if it’s the right choice for your company. (more…)
Acoustic insulation absorbs, transmits, or redirects sound – a form of energy that travels in waves. Unwanted sounds, or noise, aren’t just unpleasant to hear. They can harm human health, jeopardize worker safety, and contribute to structural fatigue. The consequences of noise can be severe, but its characteristics are sometimes misunderstood.
In Part 1 of this series, Elasto Proxy shared a surprising example of two machines running at different decibel (dB) levels in the same room. In Part 2, we’ll examine some other sources of noise in the industries we serve. Importantly, you’ll learn why acoustic insulation must account for more than just a sound’s source. Frequency, the speed of the change of the sound, is a key design consideration for noise control. (more…)
