Contact: info@ mountainstatesgroundwater.com Cancelled BAUER’s Low-Noise Equipment Adapted from Information by BAUER Maschinen GmbH Noise levels on construction sites affect both residents and the people working around equipment. Because noise control is a major health issue, BAUER Maschinen GmbH works diligently to minimize noise by making equipment improvements from drilling rigs to cutters, setting new standards in recent years. Christian Heinecker, head of the Business Unit Drilling Equipment of BAUER explained, “Thanks to our Energy Efficiency Package (EEP), BAUER equipment is now significantly quieter than the predecessor models without EEP.” The eco mode is based on dynamic engine speed regulation, depending on the action being performed, effectively reducing cumulative noise emissions and diesel consumption. An automatic motor-stop function assists, switching off equipment not used for a certain period of time. Other optional add-on modules, such as inflatable noise-control cladding for the power head or upper carriage, also have positive effects and can even be retrofitted to existing equipment. BAUER’s silent operating mode makes the new BG 15 H and BG 20 some of the quietest drill rigs available. Reducing maximum engine speed and slowing the hydraulic consumers results in a significant noise level decrease. Compared to previous models, the BG 20 reduces noise intensity by 75%. The company’s assistance systems also reduce noise levels. An adaptive kelly retraction assistant reduces speed during retraction, positively affecting the noise level. Various other assistants help during drilling and discharge to reduce noise intensity. The EEP is also implemented on BAUER’s cutter-carrier equipment, such as MC duty-cycle cranes. The Silent Cutter, available as CBC 30 for maximum cutting depths of 263 feet and as CBC 45 for cutting depths up to 394 feet, features a hydraulic power pack modular system, which can be positioned in various places for flexibility and reduces noise by about 50%. “Whether EEP, silent mode, or assistance systems, many individual components results in a noise-optimized package at the end,” summarized Heinecker.
