Custom acoustic enclosures for industrial machinery and equipment

Acoustic enclosures are an essential acoustic solution for effectively reducing the noise generated by industrial machinery, motors and equipment.
At ECIB, we design and manufacture custom acoustic enclosures, adapted to each installation, to ensure optimum sound comfort and comply with regulatory requirements relating to industrial noise.

What is an acoustic enclosure?

An acoustic enclosure is an insulating device that partially or totally surrounds a machine to attenuate its noise emissions.
It is generally made up of sound-absorbing panels, a metal structure, technical doors and maintenance access hatches.

Acoustic enclosures are used in a wide range of sectors:
industry, ventilation, energy, air treatment, machine tools, generators, etc.
Their aim: to reduce noise pollution at source, while guaranteeing the safety and performance of equipment.

Why choose an ECIB acoustic enclosure?

For over 30 years, ECIB has been designing tailor-made industrial acoustic solutions.
Our design office accompanies each customer from design to installation, for guaranteed, long-lasting results.

Our strengths :

  • Made-to-measure: each cover is adapted to your dimensions, constraints and environment.

  • High-performance materials: sandwich panels, rockwool, galvanized structure, anti-corrosion coatings.

  • High acoustic performance: up to -30 dB(A) depending on configuration.

  • French manufacturing: design and production carried out in our workshops in France.

  • Easy maintenance: optimized access, integrated ventilation, inspection hatches.

Thanks to this personalized approach, ECIB meets the specific needs of each industrial site.

The different types of acoustic cladding

Our solutions are suitable for 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 mechanical and vibratory noise from internal combustion engines, generators or air compressors.

Acoustic enclosures for machine tools

Specially developed for noisy production lines, presses and mechanical equipment.

Each enclosure can be supplied pre-assembled or as a modular kit, with options for ventilation, sound traps, lighting and access hatches.

Acoustic cladding vs. other noise control solutions

To help you choose the solution best suited to your environment, here's a comparison between acoustic cladding and other industrial noise reduction devices:

Acoustic solution Main objective Benefits Limits / Disadvantages
Acoustic cladding Direct machine enclosure to reduce noise at 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 a piece of equipment or a process Global protection, transportable, high performance More costly and cumbersome
Acoustic screens Limit noise propagation to a specific area Efficient for outdoor installations (roads, factories, construction sites) Less suitable for point sources

💬 At ECIB, we design and install all these solutions, but custom acoustic enclosure remains the most effective method when the sound source is clearly identified.

The advantages of our industrial acoustic enclosures

  • Noise reduction up to 30 dB(A) depending on configuration

  • Regulatory compliance with workplace noise standards (Directive 2003/10/EC)

  • Improved operator comfort and quality of working environment

  • Total customization: colors, thicknesses, access, ventilation, etc.

  • Durability and strength thanks to robust, recyclable materials

Our acoustic enclosures contribute to greater energy efficiency by maintaining controlled temperatures and appropriate air circulation.

ECIB realizations and case studies

We have already completed hundreds of industrial acoustic enclosure projects in France and abroad.
Example:

Industrial fans - Petrochemical site (Lyon)
Installation of custom-designed acoustic enclosures providing a measured attenuation of 27 dB(A).
Result: compliance achieved and improved acoustic comfort for teams.

Frequently asked questions about acoustic cladding

What is the purpose of an acoustic enclosure?

It reduces noise generated by industrial machinery or equipment by isolating the source of the noise.

What is the performance of an acoustic enclosure?

Depending on the design, ECIB hoods provide a reduction of between 15 and 30 dB(A).

What materials are used?

Acoustic sandwich panels, mineral wool, galvanized steel, aluminum or stainless steel, depending on the environment.

Does ECIB operate throughout France?

Yes, our team travels all over the country to design, manufacture and install custom acoustic enclosures.

Glossary of terms related to acoustic enclosures

Acoustic hood

Insulating enclosure to limit the sound diffusion of a piece of equipment.

Soundproofing

A set of techniques to prevent the propagation of noise.

Absorption vs. insulation

  • Absorption attenuates noise inside, while insulation prevents its transmission.

Maintenance hatch

Integrated access in the hood for maintenance without disassembly.

dB(A)

Decibel weighted according to the sensitivity of the human ear.
