Vermeer Corporation has asked Sorama to support Engineering in substantially reducing noise levels of the Vermeer T1255 Surface Excavation Machine while in operation.
- The Sorama CAM1K Acoustic Camera was used both for Far Field measurements as well as for close distance Near Field scanning measurements.
- The visualization of noise at specific dominant frequencies provided great insight.
- Already after the first ‘measurement & analysis’ phase, the resulting clear-cut recommendations of Sorama were successfully implemented to realize the dB-reduction objectives.
- Consequently, our customer and a community close to a large open-pit mine in Switzerland, were very satisfied with the realized outcome.
