TI  - Noise and Vibration Abatement Study on a Fabric Polishing Machine
AB  - Increasing noise levels with industrialization adversely affect human health. Especially in high noisy workplaces, the exposure of workers to high noise negatively affects workers' health. In this study, a series of studies have been carried out to reduce the noise and vibration problem of a polishing bench, which is a type of weaving loom in a textile company. A fabric polishing bench in the working area where workers are exposed to its loud noise was chosen as the pilot fabric machine. Noise and vibration measurements were taken from some points of the polishing bench and its surroundings. By analyzing the vibration and noise measurements taken, the noise and vibration levels and characteristics of the polishing bench were determined. Some noise and vibration isolation applications have been implemented to reduce the noise emission of the bench. In order to reduce noise transmission to the office workplace, a noise wall was set up between offices and the fabric processing area. The fan ducts were covered with sound insulation materials. For reducing vibration-induced noise, vibration isolation rubber pads are placed under the bench legs. After repeated measurements and analyzes under the same conditions, it was observed that the noise and vibration levels of the polishing bench were significantly reduced.
