That kind of peak can push you past the upper limit value fast. Run the free 60-second check.
One number hides the real picture.
A typical granulator shift settles at or past the upper action value. One assessment tells you exactly where the danger sits — not just the average — and that figure is only known once it's actually measured.
Moulding machines run continuously, all shift.
Steady exposure that adds up even without a single sharp peak.
Granulators and trimming add their own load.
Secondary processes that often sit right next to the operator.
Real exposure, machine by machine.
Not one average across a whole moulding hall.

*Illustrative settle value for a granulator shift, shown against the real Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 action and limit values (80 / 85 / 87 dB(A)). Your own floor is only known once it’s actually measured — that’s what the assessment is for.
One number hides the real picture
Real numbers. Real protection. Nothing left to guess.
A granulator grinding down plastic is one of the sharpest noise sources on a moulding floor.
That kind of peak can push you past the upper limit value fast.
Real exposure levels for your own site, zone by zone, checked against the 80 / 85 / 87 dB(A) action and limit values — not a generic industry figure.
What one assessment actually tells you
One assessment tells you exactly where the danger sits — not just the average. Real exposure levels for your own site, zone by zone, not a generic industry figure.
What people ask
Is the granulator the only machine that counts?
No. The granulator is usually the sharpest peak on a moulding floor, but the assessment measures every zone, not one machine in isolation.
Does this apply to every moulding line, or just the loudest one?
The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 apply to every zone where someone works, so each line gets its own real figure, not one average for the whole floor.
Is a desk-based estimate good enough?
No. A real assessment is based on your own floor and your own machines, not a generic industry figure borrowed from somewhere else.
Is seeing whether I have a problem free?
Yes. Seeing whether there’s a problem is free. You only pay once you know you want the full report.
Is this a guarantee my floor is compliant?
No. It’s a calibrated assessment against the real action and limit values, not a certification or a legal guarantee.
