How to reduce air compressor noise

April, 28 2021 IAS Admin

Traditionally, air compressors have been known to produce a lot of noise. They need a motor to produce compressed air so it’s become expected that an air compressor of any shape or size will produce some sound. It’s almost inevitable, especially for larger air compressors required for industrial factory applications. But is there anything that can be done to reduce the noise that an air compressor makes? And is there such a thing as a quiet air compressor?

We know that noise produced by an air compressor can be loud and distracting especially in something like a retail environment or a smaller workplace like a car workshop. That’s why we’ve come up with a compressed air solution that will not only reduce the sound that comes from compressed air production, the end result is made to look good too!

Learn more about this quiet compressed air system, exclusive to Industrial Air Systems, below.

The EncloseAir, a quiet air compressor

After months of rigorous testing to get all of the details just right, the team here at Industrial Air Systems came up with a compressed air enclosure, designed to solve the longstanding issue of air compressors being too noisy.

The EncloseAir is a fully packaged compressed air plant that is designed ready-to-go in your factory or workplace, all it requires is simple electricity and an air connection. Safe and secure in its own enclosure, the EncloseAir is a smaller compressed air system that is also portable. Should you need to move the compressed air system to a different space or new location, it’s simple with the EncloseAir. The entire system is inside the enclosure which makes it easy to relocate it, simply with the use of a forklift.

But what makes the EncloseAir so quiet? Due to its unique design and sound-deadening insulation, the EncloseAir will emit little noise, when the air compressor inside the enclosure is running. The actual noise level is approximately 10dBA lower and is perceived as half of the sound level, by the naked ear.

Benefits of the EncloseAir

There are many more benefits and reasons why the EncloseAir could be a good choice for your factory or workplace!

No building consent required: As the EncloseAir is a portable utility that can lift on and off your chosen site, no building consent is required – you won’t even need a concrete pad! The EncloseAir can be positioned on any firm, level surface. Simply forklift the EncloseAir off of the truck, and onto your chosen site.

Out of sight and out of mind: You wouldn’t expect any other utility to occupy a workshop or production space, and you shouldn’t expect this for compressed air either. The EncloseAir will enable you to make the best use of the floor space that you have, by keeping your compressed air out of sight, and out of mind. Many businesses choose to keep their EncloseAir outside as the enclosure is weatherproof and animal-proof.

Self-contained and secure: The EncloseAir is completely self-contained in an impressive, zinc-coated and lockable, compressed air plant shed. The enclosure can be secured to your building for greater peace of mind.

Reliable long-lasting performance: The EncloseAir is fully ventilated allowing for correct cold air inlet and hot air exhaust ventilation. This ensures that your compressed air system will perform reliably, year in, and year out.

Learn how Miann Chocolate benefited from the EncloseAir

Businesses from all different industries and environments can benefit from using the EncloseAir. Take Miann Chocolate, for example, craft chocolate makers in Auckland. They initially approached us as they required an air compressor system for their cafe. Due to limited space at the cafe, they required a system that would be able to be housed outside, but in full view of their customers who may be dining in-store. Because of this, they needed an enclosure that would house all of the different compressed air components, while still looking good. The perfect solution was the EncloseAir.

This compressed air system features a 10HP Vixen series permanent magnet, rotary screw compressor, dryer and filtration, all installed in a custom zincalume enclosure. With such a quiet compressor running nearby, the EncloseAir has helped to ensure that there are no noisy interruptions for their customers.

Learn how Tourism Holdings benefited from the EncloseAir

Due to a fire at their premises, Tourism Holdings needed a completely new compressed air installation in a temporary building. As they were only in a make-shift location, they needed a compressed air solution that could be easily moved when they shifted to new premises. An EncloseAir was provided as it was the most practical compressed air system for their requirements.

This EncloseAir contained a 40HP permanent magnet compressor, refrigerated dryer, filtration, and air receiver. It was delivered to the site fully commissioned and ready to plug into power. The EncloseAir will then simply be disconnected, and uplifted to the new site when they’re ready to shift.
