SILENT CANOPIES

MAIN FEATURES
EFAFLU developed the SILENT canopy series to satisfy the request for
generating sets that combine operation and reduced sound emissions
with a compact parallelepiped line that is also suitable for outdoor
installation, and is easy to insert in the context of technological systems
that are used today in civil, industrial and commercial businesses. The
canopies are available in 6 sizes, and house the various engines and
powers. The structure is built in press-formed, hot-galvanised steel sheet
metal. This treatment provides the steel with cathodic protection against
possible rust. As with all Visa products, all the unit's parts are subject to a strict
operating test involving over 30 checks prior to delivery.

CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUE
The canopies are built from modular elements that are assembled together
using special structural rivets; this technique has eliminated the need for The silencer built inside the canopy
