Ventx Ltd

The air vent silencers we provide are useful when someone needs to limit the noise coming from their facility. This is their main purpose after all. What makes our designs so special is that we create them in a way that suits your personal requirements. Each one is bespoke so it will offer the best results.

When someone has a noise issue, they often don’t know what to do. When they consider the options it is easy to get confused. With the acoustical coin, there are two sides. Some products block or stop sounds outright. Others absorb the noises instead. It can therefore be tough to decide what to opt for. To help you understand the differences between the two, we’re going to talk about them here.

ABSORBING

We’ll begin by covering the absorptive side. There are utensils out there that can absorb the sounds inside a room. Usually, they’re fluffy, light, and soft objects or those with very complex textures. Many of them feel soft if you choose to touch them. Their function is to soften up the room’s surfaces and lower the echo. Our silencers operate and feel a bit different. However, they still fall under the absorptive category.

SOUNDPROOFING

Next, we’ll discuss the products that block sound. These materials can prevent sounds from leaving or entering a space. They are usually found within the walls themselves. Typically, they are cumbersome, dense, and heavy. Certain models are able to decouple the wall. This is so that one of the sides can’t come in contact with the other, creating a barrier that can reduce sound transmission.

At Ventx, we analyse your systems in order to get the design of our silencers right. We work to get as much information as possible so we can ensure a great result. When we provide a silencer, you shall have an efficient way of keeping the noise levels down.

We have the skills to offer air vent silencers to suit any needs but can also cater for various other noisy systems and pieces of machinery. If you want to know more about our business, you’re welcome to contact us anytime.

Many industrial facilities must restrict the amount of noise they produce. You need certain pieces of equipment to do this. Even then, you must ensure that they have the right qualities. Our company can aid you here by supplying tailor made natural gas silencers.

Sometimes, you must fit silencers to pneumatic mechanisms. The equipment might have been in use for long periods. As a result, you may need to clean the exhaust port threads. Polluted exhaust air can meld with dirt and dust. When this happens it usually fills up the threads with a bulky paste. If you don’t clean the threads, your silencers can suffer damage during installation.

IT’S BENEFICIAL TO CLEAN YOUR SILENCERS

The silencers themselves shall benefit from some exterior cleaning as well. You can attempt to clean pollutants deep within the silencing materials. However, only those models employing large pore membranes will see improvements.

You’re free to cleanse metal silencers using any solvent that’s commercially available. Some silencers use porous plastics like sintered polythene. It is unwise to clean them with solvents based on chlorinated hydrocarbons because they can cause extensive damage to the product.

THE CLEANING PROCESS

This cleaning approach demands that you soak your utensil in the solvent. Do this for five minutes. Next, you will have to do some scrubbing using a nylon or hard bristle brush. We don’t recommend using wire brushes here because they could harm your silencer. Once you’re done brushing, blow your silencer clear using clean compressed air.

At Ventx, we provide natural gas silencers as acoustic cores or as complete units. Something we’ve learned is that numerous companies find it mandatory to use silencers. This is so they can adhere to the UK’s environmental and health & safety standards. We are happy to supply equipment that will ensure they do just that.

Whatever your needs are, we shall supply you with a solution that offers great value. If there is anything you wish to speak to us about, please contact our business.

Ventx is a proud owner of over 40 years of acoustic knowledge combined with 30 years of quality manufacturing experience. This has provided us with the expertise in providing a high quality and effective silencing solution to the noise that can often pollute industrial environments that utilise pipework, plumbing and ventilation systems. You may not be aware of the existence of industrial silencer solutions, nor realise that you could benefit from utilising them in your workplace; today, we will outline the silencer configuration we offer, and demonstrate how it can be of benefit to you.

What is a silencer?

Pipe work that has substances, gas and steam flowing through it can produce uncomfortable and irritating noise. This can be a nuisance and distraction to your work day, which can ultimately limit your work performance and efficiency. By fitting one of our custom-built vent silencer designs, this noise can be curbed, reduced and significantly quietened, to make your professional experience a more pleasant one.

What service do we offer?

Noise is a particularly difficult sense to measure, as it can be hard to tell when something is quieter or louder than before. Our advanced computer software can pick up even the most subtle changes in noise, giving an accurate reading that will allow our team to fit you with the perfect silencer.

Our team begin by looking at the flow rate of the substance passing through your pipes; this allows us to measure the exact diameter required for fitting your ventilation system. This will also prevent erosion of the silencer over time, saving you time and costs in the long run. The length of the silencer you choose is dependent on how reduced you wish the noise to be.

We offer a number of different type of silencers, dependent on your specific needs. Gas ejector silencers are ideal for pipes with steam or hydrocarbon gas flowing through them, whereas direct line silencers absorb sound rather than compress it in order to curb noise pollution. We also offer control valve silencers, which vary the flow of the substance as it flows and leave your pipes and ventilators. Regardless of your infrastructure, at Ventx we can accustom to your needs.

Furthermore, we can work around the pre-existing structure of your pipe and ventilation systems. There is no need to worry about time consuming and costly plumbing works; our industrial silencer solutions can be inserted into the existing pipework, either as a whole unit or an acoustic core. The result is an absorbed and higher frequency, which is harder for human ears to hear and results in a less noticeable noise.

When we’re working, we all want the environments to be as quiet as possible. With our wide array of silencing solutions, this can become a reality. Our business excels in designing as well as supplying many styles, including blow off silencers. They are able to perform their duties without undermining the system they connect to.

Sometimes, circumstances will require you to fit silencers into the exhaust ports of your machines. Before you can do this, you must choose the right design. Many products do look the same, but the performance is what separates them. You need to ensure you select a suitable model.

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE A SILENCER?

The first stage in picking an appropriate model is to turn to the equipment manufacturer’s guide. Then, you must figure out the airflow requirements for the machine’s regular operation. You should compare these details to the flow rate data you get from the guide. This way, you can decide what the most fitting unit for the situation is. This step is always essential. You must ensure that you don’t fit undersized silencers.

BACK PRESSURE

There might be a scenario where back pressure probably won’t be an issue for you. If so, then you can fit any silencer offering sufficient airflow. Just make sure you consider the maximum cost and noise reduction.

In contrast, you may need to fit the silencer to the pneumatic controls of a press brake or friction clutch power press, or have to fit it to a polluted airline. If so, you must give special consideration to certain silencers. These are the ones that guarantee maintenance free and long working lives.

At Ventx, we make sure that every silencer is capable of achieving the correct results. We accomplish this through the use of our acoustic modelling software. It enables us to examine your systems and determine what kind of product would work with them. In addition it means all products, whether it is blow off silencers or another style, will be fit for purpose.
