Risk of injury caused by not hearing acoustic signals
Loud grinding noise

Take the volume of grinding noise into consideration when
designing the acoustic signals in the working environment.
•
Where necessary, use additional visual signals.
CAUTION

Risk of hearing loss
High sound level
−
The sound level may be high depending on the type of material, the
number of balls used, the set grinding frequency and the grinding time.
Excess noise in terms of intensity and duration can lead to impairments or
permanent damage to hearing.
•
Ensure you take suitable soundproofing measures.
•
Wear hearing protection if there is loud or lasting noise.
Noise levels:
The noise levels will also be influenced by the properties of the sample material.
Example 1
Receptacle 6 steel grinding jars (50 ml)
Grinding component 8 steel balls each (12 mm)
Feed material Glass breakage
Feed quantity 16 g
Speed 30 Hz / 35 Hz
