Sound insulation up to 35 dB
The enclosures significantly reduce airborne and structure-borne noise. This protects employees from noise pollution and complies with the requirements of the Noise and Vibration Occupational Safety Regulation.
Effective noise protection thanks to custom-fit machine cladding
In industrial production, machine operation generates high levels of noise emissions, which can be harmful to employees and exceed legal limits.
A precise, modular machine enclosure from LK Metall reduces noise, protects against hazards and ensures a smooth production process.

From the fixed enclosure to the modular design
LK Metall offers a wide range of enclosure solutions for different industrial requirements:
Fixed enclosures
This type of enclosure is permanently installed. It therefore offers maximum protection and stability. It is ideal for machines that are in constant operation and whose location is not changed.
Mobile enclosures
Mobile enclosures are flexible and easy to transport. This makes them ideal for machines that are moved frequently. They are easy to assemble and disassemble.
Modular enclosures
This variant consists of individual, prefabricated modules that can be adapted as required. The modular design based on the building block principle allows for quick assembly. This makes them flexible and easy to expand. As the individual modules are reusable, they also contribute to sustainability.
How we find the right solution for your requirements
The optimum solution depends on the intended use, the noise source, legal requirements and the
machine geometry. Our sound insulation experts analyze this:
Sound level and frequency range of the machine
We analyze the noise emissions in detail before the enclosure concept: How high is the sound pressure level
(dB(A))? In which frequency range does the noise occur? This determines which insulation materials and
wall structures need to be used in order to achieve effective noise reduction.
Production environment (e.g. temperature, humidity, explosion protection)
Every enclosure must be tailored to the ambient conditions. In production areas with high
humidity, elevated temperatures or potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX), we use specially
tested materials and ventilation systems that guarantee safety and functionality.
Maintenance and operating requirements
Quick and safe access is crucial for machine maintenance. That’s why we plan
large maintenance hatches, inspection windows, quick-release fasteners or removable
panels right from the start – tailored to your internal processes and service intervals.
Space conditions and integration options
The enclosure must fit seamlessly into existing production lines. We take into account allexisting connections, conveyor systems, supply lines and escape and rescue routes. Even
retrofitting in confined spaces is no problem thanks to the modular design.
Less noise. More safety.
Let us advise you without obligation and get a soundproofing solution that fits your production exactly.
Assembly without production downtime
Assembly is carried out by experienced assembly teams – efficiently and with minimal production downtime. Depending on the size of the system, we supply pre-assembled modules or carry out the complete turnkey installation. All enclosures are designed so that they can be easily dismantled, extended or relocated as required. Our systems meet the requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC as well as relevant safety and emission standards.
How our housing systems work
The sound insulation enclosure works according to the principle of multi-layer insulation. A combination of sound-absorbing panels, sealing elements and acoustically decoupled frame profiles minimizes the spread of airborne and structure-borne noise. Additional integrated ventilation systems ensure constant machine cooling.

Frequently asked questions about our machine enclosures
How does a machine enclosure with sound insulation work?
It completely or partially encloses the machine and reduces noise through sound-absorbing materials and a sound-decoupled design.
What sound insulation values can be achieved?
Depending on the design, reductions of up to 35 dB(A) are possible. The exact performance depends on the type of machine, installation environment and insulating material.
Can existing machines be retrofitted?
Yes, our constructions are designed in such a way that they can be retrofitted or adapted even during ongoing production.
What types of enclosures does LK Metall offer?
From acoustic sound insulation boxes to complex machine cladding with safety and ventilation functions – we create tailor-made systems for every machine environment.
