Quieting a wire strander for the tire cord industry.
Evaluation of detailed noise and vibration measurements on a wire strander led to the identification of noise sources. The same data were used to optimize the selection of absorption materials while meeting the severe space limitations imposed by the equipment design. The acoustical treatment resulted in a 6-7 dBA noise reduction.
