Despite technological advances and innovative equipment, the introduction of new machinery and technics in the mining industry has led to an increase in the noise and vibration levels, creating the background for the development of occupational pathologies.
The process noise in mines is often caused by fans of main and partial ventilation, pumping dewatering units, transformer substations and current rectifiers, compressor and cooling equipment with continuous operation cycle.
Mining and tunneling combines, mechanized complexes, plow and scraper rigs, winches, hoisting machines, drill rigs, hand perforators and other machinery generate intermittent noise.
In surface mining, increased vibrations and noise are present on such mining machines as drilling rigs, screens, crushers, in the cabs of dump trucks and bulldozers, and on crawler excavators and draglines.
We have a wide range of anti-vibration mounts Silentflex® and over 30 years of experience in vibration and noise control. We would be glad to help you find the best solution bearing in mind the specificity of the mining sector and the machinery used in it.
