Industrial & Manufacturing Noise Control

Excessive noise is one of the most common workplace hazards in industrial facilities. Prolonged exposure to noise in manufacturing industries can result in compromised verbal communication, fatigue, lower productivity, and work-related hearing loss. Manufacturing areas are not the only places where noise can be hazardous and counterproductive.

Offices that share walls with factories or are subjected to outside noise from highways or airports face similar noise problems. In such environments, uncontrolled sound can interfere with the intended purpose of the space, resulting in hampered interpersonal communication, headaches and other problems.

We Manufacture flexible and rigid Noise enclosure systems. Sound Curtains or Acoustic Blankets are flexible and can either be used independently or as part of an enclosure system. Custom-configured noise control enclosures are effective and economical method of noise reduction. Options include rooftop panels, grommets, view windows, sliding hinged and overhead doors, silencers, exhaust fans and more.

Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) is the average of the absorption coefficients at the most common frequencies (250, 500, 1000 and 2000 Hz.) The NRC is often used to compare the acoustical performance of various materials. Sound Transmission Class (STC) is a measurement of how much noise is stopped by a barrier or enclosure. It is an approximation of how much noise, in decibels, will be stopped by the material, assuming an airtight seal around the noise source. Sabin is a unit of sound absorption based on one square foot of material. Baffles are frequently described as providing x number of sabins of absorption based on the size of the baffle tested, through the standard range of frequencies (125-4000 Hz.).

Excessive noise in industrial and manufacturing settings not only reduces productivity, but it also puts workers’ health at risk, exposure to loud noise causes stress and fatigue that can lead to workplace injuries, as well as hearing loss. Reducing noise levels in commercial offices can be achieved by utilizing a variety of materials. Wall and ceiling mounted acoustic panels, hanging baffles, and high-performance ceiling tiles are commonly utilized to improve speech intelligibility and sound quality within commercial office environments. Call centers, conference rooms, and open floor plan office settings require different noise absorption surfaces to achieve acceptable sound levels.

In-Plant Enclosures

In-Plant Enclosures are available in Complete or Partial enclosures. Enclosures can be floor mounted, ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted, or suspended from a roof deck. When using a complete four-sided enclosure with a roof, the noise reduction can exceed 20 dB(A) while still offering access, visibility, and ventilation. Partial Enclosures are defined as a barrier wall, two or three-sided enclosure, or a four-sided enclosure without a roof. Noise reduction can exceed 15 dB(A) on a partial enclosure utilizing our Barrier Backed or Barrier Septum Composites. Standard components are utilized to offer custom enclosures to meet your specific application.

• Actual noise reduction up to 25dB(A)
• Custom engineered for any application
• Washable and steam cleanable component materials
• Variety of framing systems available

 

Noise Control Blanket enclosures offer high levels of noise control and noise reduction. From HVAC units to large computers, office equipment, or generators.

Pipes, electrical devices, generators or Vacuums, all can be enclosed and their noises isolated by custom enclosures which will quiet their surroundings and prevent other complicated noise issues from starting.
