Mining Publication: Technology News 531 - Engineering Controls for Reducing Continuous Mining Machine Noise
Original creation date: September 2008
Research conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), with stakeholder involvement, has focused on producing noise treatments to reduce noise generated by the CMM conveyor system. Two engineering noise controls have been developed to reduce CMM conveyor noise: the urethane-coated flight bar chain and the dual-sprocket chain.
