Machinery Isolation

The isolation of machine-induced vibrations by MAURER significantly reduces the impact of machine forces on the surrounding structures and thereby vibrations and structure-borne noise of the surrounding structures. The isolation is called active or source isolation where the transmissibility of the machine excitation forces on the building structure is minimized. There are different types of force excitation, i.e., mass imbalance, periodic, shock and stochastic excitations.

Affected machines:

Machines in power plants such as turbines, coal mills, crushers, gas or diesel generators
Metal forming machines, such as forging hammers or forging presses
Industrial machinery such as industrial crushers, cement mills, printing machines, textile machines or centrifuges

MAURER has obtained approvals for machinery platforms in nuclear power plants.

Spring Boxes and Dampers

The MAURER vibration isolation of machines minimizes the transmission of vibrations and structure-borne noise into the environment:

Spring boxes in combination with dampers for isolation systems with tuning frequencies from 2.5 Hz onwards. Vibrations caused by diesel generators and presses are effectively isolated.
