MiniTec profile system now includes noise reduction screens and acoustic enclosures

Aimed at all areas of manufacturing and research where noise pollution needs to be controlled, and particularly suited to demanding applications in aerospace and defence, the MiniTec Noise Reduction System includes 20 mm and 34 mm thick acoustic panels in a range of sizes and finishes together with special fixing and sealing elements. These panel components seamlessly combine with the modular MiniTec Profile System which includes a extensive selection of building-block ancillary components such as wheels, handles, hinges, windows and doors - allowing complete multipurpose systems to quickly designed and built to suit the individual needs of each application. To meet the budget and performance requirements of both simple and sophisticated noise reduction systems, two panel designs are available with a number of options. The 20 mm panel features a sound absorbing PU foam material that is bonded to a choice of sheet material for its stiffness and strength. Available sheet materials include 2mm thick aluminium or steel fitted with special insert seals which slot into the aluminium profile; alternatively 8 mm thick chipboard panels are available as a low-cost solution. The alternative 34 mm thick noise reducing panel provides ISO 140-3 certified sound insulation and is capable of a noise reduction of 25 dB(A) on a regular basis if applied correctly. This panel features a specially designed laminated construction with a premium mineral wool fibre core sandwiched between a perforated steel internal plate and a zinc plated solid steel outer plate. With the rising costs of occupational health and its consequential production downtimes, as well as the added benefits of reduced noise in the working environment leading to increa¬sed productivity, the MiniTec Noise Reduction system will appeal to companies who require a fast track, ergonomic and visually attractive solution to active noise reduction control.
