It reduces noise pollution generated by a machine or industrial equipment by isolating the noise source.
Custom acoustic enclosures for industrial machinery and equipment
An acoustic enclosure is an essential acoustic solution for effectively reducing noise generated by industrial machinery, motors, and equipment.
At ECIB, we design and manufacture custom acoustic enclosures, tailored to each installation, to ensure optimal sound comfort and comply with regulatory requirements related to industrial noise.
What is an acoustic enclosure?
An acoustic enclosure (or acoustic cabinet) is an insulating device that partially or completely surrounds a machine to attenuate its sound emissions.
It is generally composed of absorbent panels, a metallic structure, technical doors, and access hatches for maintenance.
Acoustic enclosures are used in many sectors:
industry, ventilation, energy, air treatment, machine tools, generator sets, etc.
Their objective: to reduce noise pollution at the source while ensuring the safety and performance of the equipment.
Why choose an ECIB acoustic enclosure?
For over 30 years, ECIB has been designing custom industrial acoustic solutions.
Our design office supports each client from design to installation, ensuring a guaranteed and lasting result.
Our strengths:
-
Custom manufacturing: each enclosure is adapted to your dimensions, constraints, and environments.
-
High-performance materials: sandwich panels, rock wool, galvanized structure, anti-corrosion coatings.
-
High acoustic performance: up to –30 dB(A) depending on the configuration.
-
French manufacturing: design and production carried out in our workshops in France.
-
Simplified maintenance: optimized access, integrated ventilation, inspection hatches.
Thanks to this personalized approach, ECIB meets the specific needs of each industrial site.
Different types of acoustic enclosures
Our solutions adapt to all types of equipment:
Acoustic enclosure for fan or air extractor
Ideal for reducing noise emissions in air handling units or industrial ventilation systems.
Acoustic enclosure for motor or compressor
Designed to attenuate the mechanical and vibrational noise of thermal engines, generator sets, or air compressors.
Acoustic enclosure for machine tools
Specifically developed for production lines, presses, and noisy mechanical equipment.
Each enclosure can be delivered pre-assembled or as a modular kit, with options for ventilation, sound traps, lighting, and access hatches.
Acoustic enclosure vs. other noise treatment solutions
To choose the most suitable solution for your environment, here is a comparison between acoustic enclosures and other industrial noise reduction devices:
| Acoustic solution | Main Objective | Benefits | Limitations / Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acoustic Hood | Directly enclose the machine to attenuate noise at the source | High noise reduction, customization, complete technical integration | Requires custom design and sufficient space |
| Acoustic partitions | Separate or compartmentalize noisy areas | Quick installation, modular, repositionable | Less effective if the source is very noisy |
| Acoustic containers | Completely isolate equipment or a process | Overall protection, transportable, very high performance | More costly and bulky |
| Acoustic Screens | Limit noise propagation to a specific area | Effective for outdoor installations (roads, factories, construction sites) | Less suitable for a single point source |
💬 At ECIB, we design and install all these solutions, but custom acoustic enclosures remain the most effective method when the sound source is clearly identified.
Advantages of our industrial acoustic enclosures
-
Noise reduction of up to 30 dB(A) depending on the configuration
-
Regulatory compliance with workplace noise standards (Directive 2003/10/EC)
-
Improved operator comfort and quality of the working environment
-
Total customization: colors, thicknesses, access, ventilation, etc.

Glossary of terms related to acoustic enclosures
Acoustic enclosure
An insulating casing to limit the sound diffusion of equipment.
Soundproofing
A collection of techniques designed to prevent noise propagation.
Absorption vs. Isolation
-
Absorption reduces noise internally, while isolation prevents its transmission.
Maintenance Hatch
Integrated access in the enclosure for intervention without complete disassembly.
dB(A)
Decibel weighted according to the sensitivity of the human ear.
