k4mrc Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I was with a group of shoe repairers the other night and the conversation came up about 'Hardo' machines, quite a debate with some saying that they are a lot quieter than all the others, is this correct? are they that good?

keithm Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 They tend to be quieter as they are all III phase, I phase motors run a little moisier. However, there's not much in it, it depends on the model too The 720 is very quiet when you use low speed on the scouring and extraction sections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I have a Hardo, and never hear the phone when it rings if the machine is on. Maybe it's just my crappy hearing though, ruined by nearly 20 years working on a Hardo finisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I find that if I remove the bands and clean the inside of them with a used scouring sponge and then clean all the rollers the same way, the machine is much quieter. I also use compressed air to keep the inside of the machine free from dust. I do that a few times a week and it has a massive impact on the noise output.

StevenB Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I clean the inside of the bands & the surface of the wheels to keep the noise levels down, but I'm not prepared to say here how I do it or I might have to give myself a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain good advice WE DO ALL OF THE ABOVE, and the machine's are still noisy, but then, I have been in other shops with the same machine's and other types, i;e Hardo and they seem the same - so I guess it is just the same for most of you - I am just fed up with the grind of it constantly, does me head in! I think I must be old and moaning - but then you know that already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'm sure you use earplugs on the bike, stuff some of those in your lugholes and stop whinging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithm Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 The enviroment in which machines are placed can effect the noise levels. We offer AV Matting under machines now which can lower noise and vibration considerably depending on the conditions in which machines are placed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
