Sound Power Testing

UNDERSTANDING OPERATING SOUND CHARACTERISTICS

Sound power testing provides a much more thorough approach to understanding machine noise and is undertaken in carefully controlled conditions to simulate a range of operating conditions. This dynamic sound power testing measurement is implemented on a ramp and comprises, stationary, uphill loaded, downhill loaded (using retard) testing.

Incorporating a range of settings to simulate a variety of operating conditions, our experts are able to generate a complete understanding of sound characteristics in both ramped and open settings with no reflective surfaces nearby to interfere with sound power measurement. The result offers operators complete insight into each machine's sound profile and enables our experts to tailor sound attenuation strategy specific to the findings.

With these insights, MINETEK can develop and implement a sound suppression package which meets regulatory requirements in the most efficient and cost-effective manner, all while protecting workers' hearing and reducing impacts on the environment.

Sound Power Testing

Sound power testing measurement provides a much more thorough approach to understanding machine noise and is undertaken in carefully controlled conditions to simulate a range of operating conditions.

Sound Intensity Testing

Sound intensity testing offers a fast and efficient path to developing improved noise control or a specific sound acoustic design strategy to meet strict operating objectives

Operator Noise Exposure Testing

MINETEK has developed specialist capability in identifying and measuring sound hazards with a complete range of operator noise exposure testing services available across a range of machinery.

Acoustic Test Chamber

MINETEK's acoustic test chamber can be utilised to examine specific plant scenarios and pinpoint the most challenging sound issues all in a controlled environment.

MINETEK initially provided products for heavy mobile equipment noise abatement at the New Acland Mine. These installations have been very successful and prompted the contracting of MINETEK to conduct a full mobile fleet and fixed plant noise monitoring assessment at the Acland mine site.
