Noise reducing options: SSI SCHAEFER

Noise reduction with GMT refuse bins

The new European noise protection decree has been in force since the year 2000. The emptying and the filling of non noise-reduced refuse containers is only permitted between the hours of 7.00 a.m. and 8.00 p.m. Unless you benefit from the advantages of SSI SCHAEFER’s noise reduced 2-wheeled bins.

The quiet way –
to a clean environment
The SSI SCHAEFER´s noise reduced 2-wheeled bins have been fallen below the emission standards by an average of 20% for a long time.To illustrate this more clearly, about 100 noise reduced bins generate as much noise as one conventional bin. For the resident, this means that he can dispose of his waste around the clock.
Noise reduced SSI SCHAEFER bins already meet tomorrow‘s legal requirements today!

What elements help to reduce the noise ?

The biggest noise reduction is achieved by the cushioning of the impact of the open lid because the loud impact of the lid on the back of the bin body is prevented. On the inside of the bin lid there are rubber buffers fitted, which cushion the banging of the lid when it is shut. Special bearings muffle wheel related noise, when the bin is moved. In addition, on request, two plugs can be fitted to the base of the bin, which prevent noise resulting from the bin hitting the ground as it is emptied and returned. In this way, the whole process of waste disposal generates much less noise, from manoeuvring the bins, to the opening and closing of the lids.
