Noise<br />
Large-scale production of pulp and paper by nature causes noise emissions<br />
that affect workers in the mill and people in the surrounding community alike.<br />
NEUSIEDLER has set a number of initiatives to reduce the noise <strong>for</strong> both<br />
groups of people, which, in addition to the avoidance of noise, provide <strong>for</strong> a<br />
whole set of measures from the isolation of the noisiest pieces of equipment to<br />
the use of personal hearing protection. The minimum requirements are determined<br />
by the statutory emission limits <strong>for</strong> the respective plant and operation.<br />
Marked improvement through installation of low-noise suction rolls<br />
Here, too, NEUSIEDLER is committed to innovation. Together with scientific<br />
institutions and suppliers we aim at reducing noise emission from equipment.<br />
The use of low-noise suction rolls in the wire and press sections of paper machines,<br />
cutting the noise level to less than 50%, serves as an example. After a<br />
<strong>success</strong>ful pilot test at the Austrian mills, this type of suction roll will eventually<br />
be installed in all the Group's paper machines and will become a precondition<br />
<strong>for</strong> future projects.<br />
