The Sound Shield is an enclosure designed to reduce sound emissions of air operated, double-diaphragm pumps(AODDP). AODDP sound emissions is created from two sources: mechanical and pneumatic. The Sound Shield is designed to decrease the overall sound level from these two sources. The Sound Shield can also serve as a basic splash guard by acting as a barrier between the pump and personnel. In addition, the Sound Shield will protect a pump installed outdoors from potentially harmful UV rays.
The Sound Shield is a rigid five sided-enclosure constructed of closed cell polyethlene foam. The machined foam components interlock, making assembly simple and sturdy. Furthermore, the foam cuts very easily, allowing the end user to customize the Sound Shield to the piping configuration. In addition, the closed-cell foam resists absorptionof any liquid in the immediate area.
