Installation of Stopson Italiana Silencers for RDM Cartonboard in Barcelona

Stopson Italiana recently completed a crucial intervention at the RDM Cartonboard paper mill in Barcelona. In collaboration with Valtec-Umisa, the company supplied and installed two silencers: an SPM multi-inlet model and an SVC model with core. These devices ensured maximum noise reduction for the plant, significantly improving its acoustic efficiency.

RDM Cartonboard Project: Technical Details

The RDM Cartonboard plant includes a CPR-50 steam generator capable of producing up to 50,700 kg/h of steam at 12 bar. Stopson Italiana contributed with the installation of two custom silencers to optimize acoustic performance and ensure compliance with noise regulations.

SPM Multi-Inlet Silencer

Functioning Principle and Advantages

The steam vent silencer model SPM was designed to combine all steam lines into a single body. This system allows for the simultaneous operation of two lines, each equipped with a specific diffuser that directs the flow toward the upper absorbing section.

Thanks to this configuration, Stopson Italiana achieved two key objectives:

  • High acoustic performance: noise reduction to 85 dB(A) at one meter.
  • Space optimization: the compact design of the silencer minimizes footprint while maintaining high noise absorption efficiency.

Customized Design

The SVC model, designed with a three-concentric-ring structure and flanged casing, was specifically developed for bypass lines. This device uses sound-absorbing materials protected by perforated sheets, ensuring optimal performance with minimal pressure loss.

Applications and Performance

The SVC silencer ensures high operational efficiency even at operating temperatures up to 100°C, making it an ideal solution for soundproofing ventilation ducts and bypass systems.

Client’s Feedback: Valtec-Umisa’s Opinion

Miguel Medina, SalesDirector at Valtec-Umisa, stated:

“This is not the first time we’ve relied on Stopson Italiana’s support. Even for this complex project, we were highly satisfied with the quality and performance of the silencers provided.”

Conclusion

The project at the RDM Cartonboard paper mill is another success story for Stopson Italiana. Thanks to customized and innovative solutions, the company once again demonstrated its leadership in the industrial noise control sector.
