ACOUSTICA IN THE MINING INDUSTRY

Futurebilt International Pty Ltd

Futurebilt’s modular construction units are prefabricated air conditioned suites which are completely fitted out and ready for connection to all services. The modular construction system is especially suitable in the construction of three to five star hotels and retirement villages.

The modular units are also constructed and fitted out as stand alone or integrated units for remote housing in mining towns, emergency housing and also for defence and industrial applications.

To ensure a quite environment within Futurebilt’s Modular units the walls and ceiling incorporate the patented QuietWave^® acoustic membrane from Acoustica^®. With this unique visco-elastic membrane the wall construction of the Modular Building System achieves the highest rating of sound transmission loss (STL) of Rw 63dB with the smallest building footprint.

PROCESSING

Fine Grinding, where ball mills, hammer mills, pin mills, jet mills etc. have been traditionally used.

DevourX Pty Ltd

DevourX machines replicate nature by reproducing the forces of a tornado or cyclone. The cyclonic power is controlled and can be harnessed for numerous purposes.

Although purpose built for fine grinding applications, it is suitable for most applications where mechanical hammers or crushers are presently used and can also be used to remove moisture from material.

The DevourX machines are installed in 40 foot shipping containers and the extreme noise generated by processing and crushing of rock provided significant acoustic challenges.

Acoustica^® were consulted by DevourX who developed a special product that was installed on the internal surfaces of the container.

Acoustica^® also supplies to DevourX customers a special acoustic insulation system for feed hoppers and piping to the DevourX containerised machine.
