Silentflex Container Pad is a high-performance seismic vibration isolation system designed to protect heavy industrial equipment, containerized units, HVAC systems, telecommunications equipment and critical infrastructure from vibration, shock loads and seismic events. Designed for applications requiring both vibration isolation and seismic protection.
Unlike conventional spring vibration isolators, Container Pad combines three independent protection mechanisms within a single compact assembly: high-strength steel springs, stainless steel wire mesh dampers and integrated vertical and lateral displacement restraints. This unique combination provides outstanding low-frequency vibration isolation while significantly improving equipment stability under extreme dynamic loading.
The modular design allows different spring configurations and load capacities to be selected according to the required natural frequency, static load and installation conditions.
Originally developed for seismic applications, Silentflex Container Pad is particularly suitable for installations where operational reliability and equipment protection are critical. The system is certified according to GR-63-CORE Telcordia Technologies for seismic protection of telecommunications and refrigeration equipment, while its vibration and noise reduction performance has been verified through laboratory testing.
Conventional spring isolators provide excellent low-frequency vibration isolation but often require additional restraint systems to control excessive movement during earthquakes, transportation, impact loads or strong wind forces.
Silentflex Container Pad integrates vibration isolation, damping and displacement control into a single engineered solution.
Built-in vertical and lateral restraints effectively limit equipment movement in all directions, protecting installations against excessive displacement under seismic events, transportation loads, accidental impacts and abnormal operating conditions.
At the same time, integrated stainless steel wire mesh dampers increase damping performance, reduce resonance amplification and prevent spring bottoming under overload conditions.
The result is improved equipment protection, greater operational reliability and extended service life.
Silentflex Container Pad combines three complementary technologies to maximize equipment protection.
High-strength steel springs provide low natural frequencies (from 3 to 9 Hz) for efficient isolation of low-frequency vibrations.
Integrated AISI 304 stainless steel wire mesh cushions provide additional damping, reduce resonance amplification and deliver progressive stiffness without the ageing associated with elastomeric materials.
Vertical and lateral restraints limit excessive equipment movement caused by seismic activity, transportation, shock loads or strong wind, maintaining system stability even under extreme operating conditions.
Silentflex Container Pad is recommended for vibration isolation and seismic protection of:
Silentflex Container Pad consists of:
The modular design allows different spring types and quantities to be combined, providing the optimum solution for each project according to load, natural frequency and installation requirements.
Silentflex Container Pad is available in multiple standard and custom configurations.
Depending on project requirements, the system can be supplied with:
Special versions can also be manufactured for projects requiring increased load capacity, enhanced seismic performance or non-standard installation conditions.
Unlike conventional spring vibration isolators that focus solely on vibration isolation, Silentflex Container Pad combines three essential protection functions within a single engineered solution:
This combination provides exceptional equipment protection while maintaining system stability during seismic events, shock loading, transportation and other extreme operating conditions.
Container Pad is therefore the preferred solution for projects where vibration isolation, operational reliability and structural safety are equally critical.
