Assessment of Can Factory working noise and its reduction

산업현장의 소음.진동 원인분석 및 저감방안 연구

The purpose of this study is to obtain an effective enclosing method for noise reduction of press machine operating in a manufacturing company located in Korea. Noise level of the machine is about $90{\sim}105dB$ which is higher than legal standards by industrial safety and health law. This study has predicted the level of noise reduction according to a step by step prevention plan by considering the characteristics of the cause of noise, the permitted limit of noise levels, problems and economical efficiency attendant upon the noise prevention measures. The predicted level of noise at the plant in accordance with the first step is $71.5{\sim}89.5dB(A)$, and can satisfy the permitted limit of noise in a time period of the day. Based on these results, enclosing method adequate for the selected plant's noise characteristics were suggested.
