Regufoam Damper Pads

What it is and does:
Vibrations from household appliances can be spread easily, especially by light constructions and cause a noise problem, contact noise. These dampers decouple a equipment or machines from the foundations (the structure). The set of dampers consists of four blocks of vibration isolation of the type Regufoam D220. Regufoam is hydrolysis-resistant and rot-resistant. One set consists of four blocks of 156 x 156 x 25 mm.

Applications
The Regufoam Damper Pads is ideally suited to decoupling mobile air conditioners, washing machines, dryers and fitness equipment including treadmills and hometrainers.

• Washing machine
  The dampers are designed for an average washing machine of 1600 rpm and a weight of about 100 kg (washing machine loaded with textiles and water) on a concrete floor. The dampers can also be used on a wooden floor, but do not use the dampers if the machine is shaking violently! The dampers are resilient and can amplify the shaking which can result in the drum rubbing against the housing. Wear and damage can then be the result. Using the dampers in case of heavy shaking machinery is at your own risk. Always run a short program first to test whether everything stands correctly and do not use the dampers under stacked machines, such as a dryer on top of the washing machine. When used on wooden construction floors, the washing machine may shake. Stop the machine immediately! The pressure on the dampers is too low, first place a heavy (concrete) slab on the dampers and put the washing machine on it.
• treadmill

• Fitness equipment
  We also have a tips page for insulating fitness equipment and equipment: " Vibration isolation for fitness equipment ".

Processing tips

• Place the dampers on the floor/surface and place a sturdy sheet on top, for example plywood approx. 8 mm thick, which does not bend. The sheet should be the same width and length as the appliance. Do not let the dampers project under the sheet. The dampers can optionally be bonded to a sheet with construction adhesive.
• Always make sure that the appliance is level and stable, so that it cannot vibrate off the sheet and/or tiles.
