Acoustical Products Made in USA.
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining centers, milling machines, and industrial grinders are widely used in manufacturing plants to produce precision metal components for industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical equipment, and industrial machinery. These machines rely on high-speed rotating cutting tools that remove material from metal parts with extreme accuracy. During operation, these machining systems generate both mechanical vibration and high-frequency cutting noise. Sound levels near machining equipment often reach 85–95 dB, particularly when several machines operate simultaneously within the same production area.
Grinding and milling noise is produced by several mechanical processes occurring at once. The rapid rotation of cutting tools generates high-frequency sound, while friction between metal surfaces produces additional acoustic energy during material removal. Electric motors powering the machines also contribute mechanical vibration and rotational noise. Because these machines operate continuously throughout production shifts, the combined noise can easily spread across large manufacturing areas.
In facilities with extensive machining departments, workers may spend long periods operating or monitoring these machines. The constant mechanical noise can make it difficult for operators to communicate with colleagues or hear important signals from nearby equipment. Over time, continuous exposure to machining noise may create an uncomfortable work environment if proper machinery noise control enclosures are not installed.
Silencor® Metal Enclosures Systems provide an effective solution by acting as industrial equipment soundproof enclosures and acoustic machinery enclosures designed for production equipment. These metal soundproof equipment enclosures surround CNC machines and grinding equipment with structural acoustic panels that contain and absorb noise before it spreads throughout the facility.
By installing industrial acoustic enclosure systems around machining equipment, facilities can reduce sound levels by 20–25 dB, lowering a typical 90 dB machining environment to approximately 65–70 dB in surrounding areas. These maintenance access acoustic enclosures allow operators to continue safely accessing machines while maintaining strong acoustic performance.
