REDUCE PUMP AND AIR COMPRESSOR NOISE WITH NEW SOUND SHIELD
The effective, easy, and cost-friendly way to reduce the noise of equipment powered by air.
The new Sound Shield from Gast Manufacturing is the only technology of its kind. It significantly reduces sound levels and perceived loudness of the Gast 86R and 87R families of pumps and compressors without affecting their performance. The result is a quieter, more pleasant working environment that increases user comfort and productivity.
Sound Shield is a sound investment for your business.
This industry-leading, patent-pending technology returns these exclusive benefits:
PUMP AND AIR COMPRESSOR NOISE REDUCTION
Sound Shield delivers up to 25% dB(A) drop and a 40% Sone decrease in perceived loudness at open flow compared to a standard Gast pump.
SIMPLE INSTALLATION
Sound Shield technology was designed to be retrofitted in the field or at our facility. For convenience, all parts are kitted -- down to the screws -- and installation takes as little as four steps using common tools.
NO EFFECT ON COMPRESSOR OR PUMP PERFORMANCE AND LIFE
A Gast compressor or pump upgraded with Sound Shield technology maintains 95% of the air flow of a standard model. Maximum pressure, vacuum, and running temperature are not affected, and product life is maintained.
REDUCE HASSLE AND COMPLEXITY
Sound Shield is a simple, integrated solution from a single supplier. It eliminates the need to source, purchase, and install additional sound reduction components such as foam insulation, mufflers, covers, or cabinets.
