Sound absorption for machine and equipment construction
Noise and vibrations pose a challenge in the machine and equipment construction industry. Mechanical movements and internal processes often generate sound that negatively affects both the work environment and the lifespan of machines. Reducing this noise is essential to meet sound standards and create a safe working environment. By applying sound-absorbing materials, you can quickly and effectively solve these problems. These materials dampen sound and vibrations without affecting the performance of your machines.
Sound issues in machine construction
Machines often generate a lot of noise due to moving parts, engines, and mechanical processes. This can lead to hearing damage among employees, noise complaints from the surrounding area, and increased wear and tear on machines due to vibrations. To address these issues, it is important to use effective sound absorption and insulation materials.Â
Advantages of sound insulation for machines
Sound insulation offers many benefits:
Health and safety
Prolonged exposure to noise can be harmful to employees. By soundproofing and absorbing noise from machines, you reduce the noise level in the workplace and comply with applicable noise regulations.
Increased productivity
Working in a quiet, calm environment promotes concentration and well-being, which benefits overall productivity.
Cost savings on maintenance
With less vibration and noise, machines operate more efficiently and wear out less quickly, resulting in reduced maintenance costs.
Applications in machinery and equipment manufacturing
Our sound-absorbing and vibration-dampening materials are used in various types of machines, including:Â
- Compressors and pumpsÂ
- Ventilation systemsÂ
- Generators and enginesÂ
- Machine frames and casingÂ
What materials should you use?
FireSeal is a high-quality acoustic foam that is particularly suitable for applications in machine construction. This material combines sound-absorbing properties with fire resistance, making it ideal for use in machines and devices that must meet stringent safety requirements.Â
Advantages of FireSeal:
- Fire-resistant: Complies with the strictest fire safety standards, namely fire class B.Â
- Sound absorption: Reduces noise nuisance in both industrial and commercial applications.Â
- Vibration-damping: FireSeal is significantly heavier than other polyurethane foams, giving it vibration-damping properties.Â
- Durability: Long-lasting performance while maintaining effectiveness.Â
