Reduce the Noise Level on Your Vibratory Equipment

By Jack Steinbuch

OSHA specifies that a hearing conservation program should be in place when “noise exposure is at or above 85 decibels averaged over 8 working hours, or an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA)”. This can be an issue for some vibratory equipment. However, we have selections available that will reduce noise levels which can result in many positives for your facility (OSHA).

For example, did you know investing in noise-reducing vibration can lead to an increase in productivity and overall safety? High noise levels can lead to short- and long-term physical damage including ringing ears, temporary changes in hearing, and long-term hearing damage or loss. But, less commonly known, it can also put a strain on your pocket by reducing productivity, contributing to poor communication and concentration, and can even contribute to workplace accidents by limiting your employee’s ability to understand speech (OSHA).

Since there is a wide variety of vibratory equipment, for this blog, we will focus on “brute force” vibratory equipment.  The vibrating body is directly installed on the equipment and is driven by a vibrator or dual motors, and the supporting structure is isolated from the vibrating body. Now let us look at potential ways to reduce their noise level:

Vibration Education and Safety: How SI Series Help Prevent Shoulder & Back Injuries

By CVC Team

We were contacted by a company that performs a special process on large diameter copper bars. Part of the process is seating the copper bars in place to do the process. This is currently accomplished by hitting the bars with an 8 to 12 pound sledge hammer. Due to the taxing and power-filled motion of the hammering process, it was causing extensive shoulder and back injuries on their employees. The situation was dire enough that it required a call to action and a solution, so they contacted The Cleveland Vibrator for a vibrator recommendation. Read More…

Magical Powers of Piston Vibrator Design?

By CVC Team

The VMR model is one of those unique mergers of old and new technologies. The current concept was developed by combining our older MI units from the 1950s and 60s, the first generation Vibra-Might design from the 70s and 80s and our design features of the 90s. The VMR unit features a totally enclosed one-piece body design that operates without the dependency of a starter spring and will start in all mounting arrangements. This is coupled with our revolutionary Read More…
