Noise from machinery and processes is addressed with sound-absorbing enclosures – machine enclosures or shielding. Noise from virtually all machinery and processes can be addressed without impeding work opportunities or service. A number of factors need to be analyzed, such as

• Sound silencing needs
• Work methods by, and around, the machine
• Material flows
• Service, maintenance and access
• Safety
• Visibility and monitoring
• Heat evacuation and airflow
• Vibrations
• Structural noise
• Design and Aesthetic design

HIAK has delivered thousands of machine enclosures for virtually all types of machines – ranging from small equipment to large process lines. Typical items include presses, robotic cells, fans, motors, pumps, hydraulic units, and cutting systems. Often, it is also necessary to enclose machines outdoors to ensure that the requirements for a quiet living environment for nearby residents are met. In this context, we need to address factors such as corrosion resistance, loads from wind and snow, and architectural considerations.

All machine enclosures are customized based on customer requirements, needs, and possibilities.
