Industrial Case Study — Automotive manufacturing facility

Acoustic enclosure installation at an automotive manufacturing facility.

APPLICATION DETAILS:

An automotive manufacturing facility had experienced high levels of noise from metal presses in their plant. Noise emissions from the presses was breaking out of the building and causing disturbance to nearby residential properties.

SUPPLY SCOPE:

In order to effectively mitigate noise in the facility and limit the environmental noise breakout to surrounding residents, Wakefield Acoustics designed, manufactured and installed large acoustic enclosures to house the metal presses.

PRODUCT SELECTION AND PERFORMANCE:

Wakefield Acoustics designed and fabricated the acoustic enclosures with forced ventilation systems. Each enclosure also integrated inlet and outlet acoustically lined ‘tunnel’ sections for material conveyors.

ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE:

The bespoke acoustic enclosures were designed to deliver a nominal 20dB-25dB reduction.
