Our team of engineering and manufacturing professionals immediately sets to work, utilizing the latest systems, processes and technologies to develop an innovative solution. CHALLENGE A Noise Reduction Challenge A large vacuum OEM reached out to us about modifications to its commercial backpack unit to make it compliant with OSHA noise level limitations. Their product exceeded allowable noise exposure safety guidelines over the course of an eight-hour workday, so the company needed to lower its decibel level. With the product launch fast approaching, they were on a tight deadline. The small size of the unit only complicated the matter, leaving little room for additional noise mitigation solutions. Required volume would be 25,000 units per year, with a delivery location in Tennessee. Knowing that the wrong choice could cause significant delays and revenue losses, the vacuum OEM turned to Technicon Acoustics for our demonstrated expertise in noise reduction, experience in high-volume manufacturing, short lead times, and commitment to providing high-quality solutions. Technicon’s skilled team, advanced technology, and 85,000-square-foot production facility left us well-equipped to help the manufacturer meet their goals. SOLUTION The Technicon Acoustics Noise Reduction Solution First, the team at Technicon Acoustics needed to identify the source of the noise. Our design and mechanical engineers initially spent time with the product in our full-scale lab to narrow down potential problem areas. Drawing on a wide range of experience from diverse fields, knowledge of certification requirements, and access to new materials, they came up with several design options to take to the next step. As ideas emerged, our die-cutting and rapid prototyping capabilities came into play. The design support team quickly produced multiple prototypes for further testing and lab analysis. Within a span of just two weeks, we had reached a final solution and moved into full production.
