Noisy electrical pump motors made safe with acoustic covers

Initial project requirements:

Flexshield’s client faced a challenge with two large electrical motors which drove pumps – and also generated noise levels at an unacceptable level for Workplace Health and Safety guidelines.

The client knew they needed noise control treatment for the motors – yet there were several complicating factors. The motors featured numerous electrical, water, and air feeds which would need to penetrate any acoustic treatment – without compromising the noise control’s effectiveness. The motors also had an emergency stop button which could not be inside the acoustic enclosure – oh and the enclosure had to be easily removable for regular maintenance!
