Cummins Diesel Generator Muffler
Diesel Generator excessive noise issue
The problem of noise pollution is becoming a growing concern, particularly for companies that operate in close proximity to residential areas that utilize heavy-duty equipment. Various industries such as construction, mining, and agriculture are actively pursuing solutions to minimize the noise generated by their equipment and machinery.
Our client, a Victoria-based company in Australia specializing in diesel generator and engine solutions faces a similar issue and now requires a customised muffler for their 110kVA Cummins Diesel Generator. The objective was to meet certain noise level reduction (35-40 dBA) requirements while enhancing safety by reducing the emission of hot particulates from engine and exhaust systems.
Diesel generators are extensively used across industries as a dependable power source. However, they have gained notoriety for producing excessive noise levels. This issue can also lead to work delays due to restricted working hours caused by noise disturbance.
Design, plan & achieve quiet efficiency
The Flowtech team was approached to develop a solution for noise and spark-related issues.
Solution #1: Design and customise SILENCERS to suit the Cummins Generator and achieve a specific noise level reduction.
Solution #2: Adding a SPARK ARRESTOR to ensure compliance with AS1019-2000 standards.
The initial step involved gathering the precise requirements from the client and carefully analyzing the materials provided to our team.
To ensure accuracy, CAD drawings were drafted to confirm all measurements and details.
Once we got the approval from the client, we then proceeded to manufacture the components required to construct the silencers suited for Cummins Generator.
The ultimate custom muffler solution
After spending several days working on design and prototype testing, we finalized the product with a set of tailor-made Flowtech Silencers. These silencers were meticulously designed and constructed to meet the client’s specific requirements. We managed to achieve an impressive noise reduction level of 35-40 dBA range. On top of that, we also built a Flowtech Spark Arrestor that adheres to Australian standards.
The Flowtech Spark arrestors prevent sparks or other combustible materials from escaping the exhaust and potentially causing fires or explosions. This is especially crucial in diesel generators that operate in hazardous environments, such as mines, oil rigs, or chemical plants, where a stray spark can cause catastrophic damage.
Spark arrestors usually have a metal screen or mesh that traps sparks without obstructing the exhaust flow. Many jurisdictions, including Australia, mandate spark arrestors in diesel generators that operate near flammable or explosive materials.

Custom Muffler Project Success
Our client expressed overall satisfaction with the final outcome. The tailored Silencer muffler not only met the noise level criteria but also ensured the safety of their equipment and operations by adding a Spark arrestor. In addition, the design was able to fit perfectly within their existing Cummins generator.
We’re proud to have been selected as their supplier of choice for this project and look forward to working with them in the future.
