Noise 2.5
Figures on noises produced by a machine identical to the one described in this manual,
measured according to the "Machine Directives " (98/37/CE and following modifications).
The level of equivalent weighted A continuous acoustic pressure, emitted by the machine
is lower than 70dB (A).
Measurements were taken in front of the machine (normal operator position), at a distance
of 1 meter from the machine, with the machine moving and empty, a 0 mm rubber roller
distance, a 4 m/min roller speed and the rewinding roll holder motor rotating.
The recording of acoustic emission has been performed in accordance with ISO
11202:1995 standard.
Level of equivalent continuous acoustic pressure with machine in operation is
lower than
60 dB(A)
Level of peak
65 dB(A).
Information on noise hazards
2.5.1
The levels of acoustic emission indicated are not necessarily safe for the workers. The
levels of exposure of the worker are obviously linked to the emission levels of the
machine, however other factors affect the levels of exposure of the workers: duration of
the exposure, characteristics of the area and the presence of other machines. The levels
of emission of the machine, however, allow the users to assess the danger related to
acoustic emissions.
A continuous use of the machine and of other machinery present in the area of installation
could lead to a high level of personal daily exposure to noise.
When daily personal exposure is equal to or higher than 85 dB(A) the use of IPE is
recommended (protective caps, protective ear plugs, ...).
When daily personal exposure is equal to or higher than 90 dB(A) the use of IPE is
obligatory (protective caps, protective ear plugs, ...).
For information on other protective measures to be adopted, in Italy refer to UNI
EN458,1995, and EN457 standards.
