Effective damping of the idler wheels can achieve a 3 dB(A) noise reduction from each idler, giving an overall reduction up to 5 dB(A). Following this
modification, the dominant source of noise is from the grouser plates as the track chain impacts the sprocket
and idlers.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][us_image image=”4022″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row height=”small”][vc_column][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Idler Wheel Treatment” alignment=”left”][/ultimate_heading][us_separator height=”20px”][vc_column_text]Hushpak has developed a successful and cost effective method for damping idler wheels. Field testing shows Hushpak idler wheel treatment reduces the overall sound level of the dozer under most operating conditions.

Attenuated idler wear rate is identical to non attenuated idlers. Reconditioning of attenuated wheels is a practical alternative to complete wheel replacement.

To complement undercarriage noise reduction, Hushpak offers a range of additional dozer noise attenuation packages, including treatment of:

  • Exhaust
  • Engine Bay
  • Cabin
  • Track Plate or Grouser Dampers

As dozers vary within each mine site, the noise reduction required and the role of the dozer must be
considered before deciding how to best mitigate the problem.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row height=”small” color_scheme=”custom” us_bg_color=”#003b56″ us_text_color=”#ffffff” el_class=”darker-row-link”][vc_column][ultimate_heading main_heading=”… we are the quiet achievers” alignment=”left”][/ultimate_heading][us_separator height=”20px”][vc_column_text]Hushpak continues to lead the way in research and development of
dozer noise attenuation solutions. Our products and treatments successfully meet the challenge
brought by the harsh environment of an operating dozer, while retaining suitable acoustic
attenuation performance[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row height=”small”][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
