Acoustic Enclosures
Case Study: Leading can manufacturer
Kimpton ‘can’ noisy plant
The Client
With an annual capacity of some 13 billion units and a 31% market share, this manufacturer is one of the leading beverage can producers in Europe.
The Challenge
To maintain its position at the forefront of the beverage can industry, the company installed high-speed, automatic, coil-feed transfer presses at its manufacturing plants in Wrexham and Deeside. The high noise levels generated by this equipment had to be addressed in line with the company’s HSSE commitment, so the company looked for an acoustic solution that could be integrated into the manufacturing process.
The Solution
Kimpton designed, manufactured and installed acoustic enclosures that would house the presses and ensure operator safety and hearing protection. The enclosures provide the highest level of noise control while maintaining the ability to access, service, and maintain the press. Meticulous attention to detail ensured the final product met all the necessary requirements.
