Soundproofing for Machines, Gensets, and Chillers
Industrial machinery, generators, chillers, and compressors are integral to many operations, but they often come with a significant downside: noise. High noise levels from machinery can disrupt operations, affect worker safety, and create tension with neighbouring businesses or residential areas. Furthermore, excessive noise contributes to harmful working conditions, leading to increased use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and a higher number of worker sick days.
Challenges of Machinery Noise
The noise emitted by machines and equipment can exceed permitted levels, particularly when multiple units operate simultaneously. This not only impacts workers’ concentration but can also lead to penalties for exceeding environmental noise regulations. Noise from industrial equipment may also negatively impact productivity, worker health, and the overall environment in which the machines are located.
Tailored Soundproofing Solutions for Equipment
DECIBEL offers a range of soundproofing solutions for machines, gensets, chillers, compressors, and transformers to minimise noise pollution. These solutions can be passive or a combination of passive and active systems, depending on the specific requirements of the equipment and its environment.
Passive Systems: Our passive soundproofing systems include soundproof enclosures and Acoustic covers that are designed to be fitted around machinery components, making them quieter by default. These are widely applicable across various industries, including manufacturing, domestic, and transport equipment.
Active Systems: These advanced systems combine passive insulation with active noise cancellation techniques, using transducers and speakers to counteract airborne noise and vibrations. Active systems are particularly effective for air-transport ducts, heating, ventilation, and cooling systems, and are also applicable in the automotive and aviation industries.
Benefits of Industrial Soundproofing
Investing in industrial soundproofing offers numerous benefits. Not only does it help reduce the need for PPE, but it also improves working conditions by lowering stress levels, reducing sick leave, and enhancing overall worker productivity. Additionally, quieter equipment ensures smoother relations with neighbouring businesses and residents and helps businesses avoid legal complications related to noise pollution.
