Acoustic insulation in special vehicle manufacturing

Custom-made soundproofing for special vehicle manufacturing

Construction, agricultural and forestry machinery: they are all large, heavy and generally noisy. Insulating the powerful engines of these machines is a real challenge, as they often cause the entire vehicle to vibrate and generate loud droning noises.

To achieve effective, comprehensive noise reduction, aixFOAM supports you from the design stage onwards. We supply customised acoustic absorbers manufactured to your specific requirements, both for direct integration and for retrofitting sound insulation in your rail and special-purpose vehicles.

Examples of soundproofing applications in rail and special vehicle manufacturing:

Engine compartment insulation
Vehicle body vibration damping
Sound insulation in driver's cabins
Construction machinery such as excavators and road rollers
Agricultural machinery such as tractors and combine harvesters
Forestry machinery such as harvesters and forwarders
Crane construction and mobile cranes
Commercial vehicles such as street sweepers and forklifts

Your customised soundproofing solution with a systematic approach

We develop your customised soundproofing solution tailored to the application and its specific requirements. Using highly effective base materials and suitable surface laminations, our state-of-the-art CNC manufacturing technology produces precisely tailored soundproofing components, from conventional panels to complex 3D acoustic moulded parts.

For the core of your soundproofing solution, we use a range of base materials selected according to the type of noise (airborne noise/ structure-borne noise/ vibrations), fire protection requirements and other environmental influences.
Porous absorbers

ideal for reducing airborne noise

absorb noise thanks to their open-cell structure
Porous absorbers with fire protection and Resistance Plus

extremely lightweight and fine-pored, ideal for reducing noise and airborne sound

chemically resistant, enhanced fire protection according to DIN 4101 B1
Heavy acoustic foam

ideal for insulating against structure-borne noise, vibrations and material oscillations

high material density
Closed-cell elastomer

water-resistant and provides excellent thermal insulation

ideal for insulation in technical applications
Heavy acoustic barrier membrane

ideal for damping vibrating and oscillating components

low material thickness, high mass per unit area
As both effectiveness and appearance often play an important role in soundproofing solutions, we can also manufacture your components with profiled surfaces on request.
Flat surface

simple, smooth surface structure
Convoluted profile

increased surface area

attractive convoluted design
Trapezoidal profile

increased surface area

attractive trapezoidal design
To protect the core material of your soundproofing solution from dirt and liquids or to give the components an even more attractive appearance, we can laminate our base materials with various surface coverings on request.
Acoustic felt

protection against dirt and dust

water-repellent textile surface
Aluminium

protection against dirt, splashing water, liquids and oils

smooth, silver-coloured aluminium layer
Perforated artificial leather

protection against dirt, splashing water, liquids and oils

perforated structure with a high-quality leather appearance
For easy installation and reliable adhesion, even in difficult locations, we can equip your soundproofing components with our self-adhesive backing. Lamination with a heavy acoustic barrier membrane is particularly suitable for composite solutions designed to reduce structure-borne noise and vibrations.
Self-adhesive backing

reliable adhesion

extremely easy installation
Heavy acoustic barrier membrane

reduces structure-borne noise, vibrations and material oscillations

ideal for vibration damping
