HBM Plastics & Packaging Technologies -
SIAD Macchine Impianti, from Bergamo Italy, have modified the TEMPO² range of PET blowing compressors.
The compressors only produce 75dB(A) @ 1 metre in any direction - proudly naming the new development 'the Silent box®'. The sound reduction is achieved via the use of a built in electrical soundproof cabin and In-Out Silenced air fan. The cabin is competely accessible for full maintenance and allows for a quick and easy installation.
One signficant benefit of the new 'Silent Box®' package is the elimination of the requirement to build a special 'sound proof' service room which is typically used for High Pressure compressor installations.
The 'Silent Box®' can also be retrofitted to existing SIAD installations on request.
The TEMPO² machines are three stage units, which deliver totally oil-free, dried high pressure (40bar) air, with outputs from 90 to 5,500 Nm³ per hour. They have large inlet filters that are silenced and firmly mounted on the compressor skid, with a dust filtration level of only 3 microns. The machines are fitted with stainless steel piping to prevent oxide formation.
SIAD is represented in Oceania by HBM Plastic Technologies.
