Noise Reduction Technology
Our Patented Silent Air™ system works by dissipating compressor intake noise through a series of noise cancellation plates, reducing DBA ratings by up to 50%. This low-profile system not only makes the compressor quieter but also adds four levels of air filtration. Silent Air™ compressors operate at a normal conversation level in comparison to traditional compressors that operate at the level of a police siren. Silent Air™ technology significantly lowers the risk of hearing damage, decreases employee turnover, and enhances workplace satisfaction.
Advanced Patented High
Performance Noise Reduction
Technology
Our U.S. Patented “Air Silencer”, with our 5-stage air intake noise reduction technology works
at levels no louder than a normal conversation. Engineered & manufactured in the U.S.A.
Installation
SILENT AIR™ patented systems can be installed and operated in all Garage, Farm Shop, and Industrial applications which eliminates the need for traditionally expensive and often inadequate separate buildings or structures to house the air compressor. Our systems are preinstalled on the tank reservoir and are designed for easy removal and space constrained environments.
Noise Reduction
SILENT AIR™ solutions dissipate compressor intake noise by channeling the intake air through a series of baffle plates and pre-filter media within the silencer cabinet. As a result, piston intake noise is trapped and dissipated within the silencer structure.
Filtration
SILENT AIR™ systems are also engineered to act as a secondary 5 stage intake filtration for cleaner system lines while reducing pipe scaling, contamination, and air tool and equipment damage. Ideal for dirty work environments!
OSHA Reports
OSHA reports that over 12% of all workmen’s comp claims are a result of hearing loss in the workplace. One of the primary culprits being noise generated by compressed air systems and similar machinery in the workplace.
Noise Fatigue or sometimes called “Listener Fatigue” is a phenomenon that occurs after prolonged exposure to an auditory stimulus. Symptoms include sleep loss, tiredness, discomfort, pain, and loss of sensitivity.
OSHA published recommendations for maximum exposure time to noise levels – Indoors: “Noise above 70 dB over a prolonged period of time may start to damage your hearing. Loud noise above 120 dB may cause immediate harm to your ears.”
Major manufacturers and brands of piston air compressors publish “outdoor” vs “indoor” decibel ratings. When measured indoors, at a distance of 10ft most piston air compressors generate dBA levels exceeding NIOSH exposure limits of 2-4 hours 90 -105+ dBA (decibels).
