Scudibox® is the line of high-performance operator shieldings manufactured by SILTE and dedicated for workstations within production departments. The smaller side of the barrier is made at least three times the wavelength of the frequency component that most contributes to the noise level to be shielded.
The Scudibox® acoustic shield is ergonomically designed to create a ‘quiet bubble’ in the operator's listening area. Its ergonomic design leaves the side and rear walls partially unobstructed to facilitate access, air exchange and natural light intake. The interior walls are lined and treated with high-quality sound-absorbing materials of adequate thickness to minimise reflections of incident sound waves. The device features a self-supporting metal monocoque that guarantees stability and safety in use. In order to offer maximum visibility and control of the noisy system and to bring in natural light, there is transparent fenestration on three sides made of glass or polycarbonate of adequate thickness. In addition to shielding the operator from noise, Scudibox® also provides an effective barrier against any vapour, spray or splinters that may accompany the production cycle of certain industrial plants. Screens can be fitted with internal artificial lighting, shelves or terminal supports.
Acoustic screens are usually used in industrial plants where there are large installations that are difficult to isolate in any other way.
