Noise and vibration reduction in industrial plants

A noisy machine, a dust collector, a compressor or a press: noise and vibration affect workers, neighbours and the equipment itself. Deflection manufactures acoustic enclosures, silencers and panels in Quebec, distributes vibration isolators and takes charge of turnkey projects.

Your situation

What you need to solve

A machine that is too loud

An acoustic enclosure surrounds the equipment; panels block noise from reaching sensitive areas.

Noise escaping through air ducts

An acoustic silencer treats the noise travelling through the ductwork.

A machine transmitting vibration to the floor

Rubber-metal dampers, rubber floor mounts and pads, selected according to the load per support.

A municipal complaint or an engineer's requirement

Acoustic study to measure sound levels, identify the sources and size the solution.

Products

The products that solve it

Reducing noise

Acoustic enclosures, silencers and panels are made in Quebec. Silencers follow the criteria of ASTM E477; the panel has an NRC of 1.0 and an STC of 43.

Frequently asked questions

Plants and industry

How do I reduce noise from an industrial machine?

Three approaches are combined depending on the source: an acoustic enclosure surrounds the noisy equipment (heat pump, dust collector, fan), an acoustic silencer treats the noise travelling through air ducts, and acoustic panels block noise from reaching sensitive areas. Deflection carries out the diagnosis and recommends the right solution for your equipment.

Which isolator should go under a machine?

It depends on the load carried by each support. VIB 1-5 rubber-metal dampers cover 100 to 1,500 kg, RMD rubber floor mounts cover 33 to 2,200 lb, and RCR pads work from 15 to 55 psi. Send us the weight of the machine and the number of supports to receive a proposal.

Do you carry out acoustic studies?

Yes. As part of a turnkey project, an acoustic study can be carried out by specialists to measure sound levels, identify the sources and size the solution — particularly useful after a municipal complaint or an engineer's requirement.

Does Deflection offer installation?

Yes. Installation is offered as a turnkey option, carried out by RBQ-certified technicians, with flexible schedules (day, evening or weekend) to suit your site constraints.
