Industrial Piston Compressor (Wooden Box)

About the sound

Manufacturer: Alup
dB: 86.5
Recording distance: 1m

The staple gun is powered by compressed air supplied by the compressor via a hose. The industrial piston compressor is connected to an air receiver tank.
In the recording, the compressor produces a deep, powerful humming or rattling sound, accompanied by a constant hissing noise as compressed air escapes. The overall noise level is quite high.

Since 1949, the name Lessmann has been synonymous with traditional box-making craftsmanship, based in Nördlingen, Bavaria. The workshop is now in its third generation of family ownership under Werner Lessmann.
They manufacture wooden boxes for all types of beverages and gift packaging. The company is dedicated to producing beer and wine boxes, as well as custom-made products and designs from sustainable wood.
Most of their machines date back to the 1960s, with a few newer ones from the 1980s onwards . And that makes it all the more important to capture their sound.
The company’s main customers are beer, wine, and coffee distributors who require special packaging.
Here we hear how a six-pack carrier suitable for beer or similar types of bottles is made.
