Cut Out Vacuum & Compressor Pump Noise For A Quiet, Productive Workplace.

Introducing Col-Tec’s Precision-Engineered Soundproof Pump Covers

Our bespoke soundproof pump hood covers are intelligently designed, functional, and offer unrivalled value for money when it comes to collator pump noise reduction. They are custom designed to decrease industrial collator noise pollution generated by vacuum and compressor pumps.

Key Features of Col-Tec’s Pump Covers

  • Custom Fit: Each cover is engineered to perfectly match the specifications of your collator. Our custom noise control solutions offer unmatched adaptability to unique industrial needs.
  • Noise Reduction: They have been tested to reduce pump noise by 10–18 dB(A), substantially improving workplace acoustics.
  • Built for Durability: Manufactured with premium-grade materials, our covers are built to endure the demands of industrial use.

On many occasions the industry is faced with collating exceptional paper weights and sheet sizes, which make collating on conventional equipment troublesome, or sometimes impossible. For many years Col-Tec's collator engineers have been able to solve these problems by designing purpose-built collator equipment. This, together with over 50 years' experience in the manufacture of suction feed collators has made Col-Tec the market leader in special application collating machines. Should equipment out of our extensive range not fulfil your exact needs, we are able to customise our collators to meet any specific requirements.

In order to support automatic production lines, Col-Tec will produce the necessary interfaces to conveyors, binding equipment, film-wrapping machines, etc. all to individual specification.

The Ideal Workplace Soundproof Solution For Vacuum & Compressor Pumps

Does the constant hum of vacuum and compressor pumps disrupt your team’s focus and productivity? Noise from collator pumps is more than a nuisance. It can lead to employee stress, hearing damage, and costly breaches of the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. At Col-Tec, we’ve engineered innovative soundproof pump covers that suppress noise by up to 18 dB(A), creating a quieter and safer work environment. This article explores the challenges of noise pollution for businesses. It covers the proven performance of our UK-made solutions and shows how these align with workplace safety standards.

Technical Breakdown of the Pump Covers

Precision engineering sets Col-Tec’s soundproof pump covers apart. Here’s a closer look at what makes them so effective.

Our covers use high-density acoustic materials that dampen sound without compromising airflow. Integrated cooling vents ensure your equipment remains efficient.

Specifications

10–18 dB(A) and designed for seamless integration with all Col-Tec collators.

Why Noise Reduction in Collators Matters

Industrial noise pollution is disruptive and hazardous. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause permanent hearing damage. It can also reduce productivity and raise employee turnover. For businesses reliant on collators, this is a particularly pressing issue.

The Health Impacts of Noise

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), noise pollution contributes to cardiovascular diseases and cognitive decline. In workplaces, noise exposure above 85 dB(A) poses serious risks, yet many industrial pumps often exceed this threshold.

Regulatory and Operational Consequences

The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 require employers to assess and reduce noise risks in their workplaces. Failing to comply can result in hefty fines and legal repercussions. Effective noise reduction isn’t just a compliance measure—it’s a business imperative.

Compliance and Sustainability

Staying compliant with noise regulations doesn’t have to be a challenge. Installing soundproof pump covers helps your business comply with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations. This not only protects employees but also protects your business from legal penalties. These solutions make complying with noise regulations straightforward and stress-free.

At Col-Tec, we believe in building products that last. Our soundproof pump covers are crafted from durable, eco-friendly materials. These reduce waste and minimise environmental impact. Our work in sustainable engineering will protect your workforce and help the planet.

Challenging the Dominant Narrative

Many businesses still use off-the-shelf noise control solutions, believing they are sufficient. However, these solutions often fail in industrial applications. Yes, generic soundproof covers promise quick fixes. However, they rarely deliver the noise reduction needed for heavy-duty operations like collators.

Col-Tec’s custom-built, soundproof pump covers are for your equipment. They ensure superior performance and compatibility, no matter the machine.
