Custom-fabricated enclosures for industrial noise control and generator protection

 

Acoustic Enclosure Manufacturer

Precision-fabricated enclosures for industrial noise control

An acoustic enclosure is used to house noisy equipment and to contain the sound so that it doesn’t radiate out into the surrounding area. Metaltex manufactures precision sheet metal and fabricated products from its Dandenong South, Melbourne facility. As an acoustic enclosure manufacturer, we produce fabricated enclosure components and assemblies to customer drawings and project specifications for industrial and commercial use.

We work with contractors, equipment manufacturers and OEMs who need consistent fabrication on their projects. It could be a single enclosure, or it could be a repeat run. In all cases, our focus is on accurate cutting, forming, welding and assembly.

Generator Acoustic Enclosure

Fabricated generator housings built to project requirements

A generator acoustic enclosure has to accommodate the generator itself as well as provide for access, ventilation, maintenance and the acoustic design. Metaltex produce fabricated enclosure structures for generator packagers and project contractors, with the components being made to approved drawings.

Our work can include the panels, the frames, the doors, the mounting points and all the other fabricated bits that are specified for an enclosure. We’re a soundproof enclosure manufacturer who will work to the design that has been agreed upon rather than just assume that one enclosure is going to be the right one for every generator. The acoustic performance of an enclosure is a function of the full design, which will include the sound-absorbing materials, the ventilation openings and all the other noise control features.

What we manufacture for acoustic enclosures

  • Fabricated acoustic enclosure panels and steel housings
  • Generator enclosure frames and structural sections
  • Access doors, panels and inspection openings
  • Mounting brackets, supports and fixing components
  • Custom-fabricated parts for generator canopies
  • Enclosure components made to customer drawings
  • Fabricated assemblies for industrial equipment housings

Each project has its own requirements. The dimensions, the materials to be used, the panel layout, the equipment clearances and the finish all have to be established prior to fabrication. For a noise reduction enclosure, the fabrication has to match the acoustic design that has been supplied for the project in order to ensure the components end up fitting the intended assembly.

 

 

Everything under one roof

Our Dandenong South facility integrates the key manufacturing processes (laser cutting, CNC folding, robotic and manual welding and assembly), which gives us control over the fabrication and minimises the number of handoffs we have to make to suppliers.

CAD/CAM and CNC equipment allow us to produce components to the exact dimensions and detail specified in the customer’s drawings. This is obviously of relevance when we’re making a custom acoustic enclosure in Melbourne where the panels, frames and fixings all have to line up during assembly.

We work with the customer to establish production quantities, drawing requirements and project schedules prior to manufacture commencing. Whether it’s a prototype run or a repeat production run, the scope of the project can be discussed with us. If your project requires some metal engineering Melbourne expertise, we can look at the fabricated enclosure components that you’ll need for your application.

Built to a standard you can rely on

Metaltex is ISO 9001:2015 certified, and our manufacturing processes are governed by defined specifications and production controls to ensure consistency of the fabricated components.

Drawings, material requirements, dimensions and finish details can all be reviewed as part of the project scope. For an industrial acoustic enclosure in Melbourne, for example, the fabrication requirements would be dictated by the operating environment and the intended use.

Outdoor installations may require a weatherproof generator enclosure design with the appropriate materials, finishes, seals and weather protection as specified by the project team. Ventilation, service access and acoustic treatment will all be factors in the overall design.

Why contractors and OEMs choose Metaltex

  • Over 45 years of manufacturing experience
  • Build to print, from prototypes through to production runs
  • Laser cutting, CNC folding, welding and assembly in one facility
  • A trade-qualified team with practical fabrication knowledge
  • Melbourne-based, supplying projects nationally
  • ISO 9001:2015 quality certification

For the customer who is looking for a generator canopy manufacturer, the ability to produce repeatable components to approved drawings will go a long way to simplifying their procurement and assembly planning. We work with contractors and OEMs to fully define the scope of work, the quantities required and the specifications before any job gets underway.
