How can I reduce vacuum pump noise?

The impact of loud vacuum pumps on your working environment

‍Rotary Vacuum Pump Soundproofing – Quiet and Comfortable environment

Vacuum pumps are essential in laboratories and industrial workspaces, but they often generate constant and excessive noise levels of 70 to 80 dB(A), comparable to heavy city traffic. Over time, this common issue can:

• Fatigue staff and reduce concentration
• Negatively affect the quality of the work environment
• Disrupt communication between teams
• Lead to long-term hearing loss from prolonged exposure

Our custom acoustic enclosures reduce noise perception by up to 80%, transforming your laboratory into a quiet, safe and productive space.

How can you reduce its noise effectively?

Our approach to vacuum pump noise reduction

The best way to reduce noise generated during your operation is to use sound enclosures. We manufacture custom acoustic enclosures tailored to each type of pump, making them compatible with any device. This sound enclosure will effectively reduce noise from your vacuum pump.

Our process includes:

1. Noise and constraint analysis

We begin by analyzing your vacuum pump’s brand and model characteristics, while also assessing its heat dissipation, airflow and vibration isolation requirements. Identifying and understanding noise levels is a key part of this process. We carefully consider your environmental constraints and specific requirements.

2. Custom acoustic design

Each enclosure is engineered to your specific pump and laboratory environment. But we can go further, our team will help you create the perfect enclosure for you, with features such as:

• Access panels for maintenance
• Viewing windows
• Cable and tubing passages
• Space-saving, lab-ready configurations

3. Quick and safe installation

No disassembly required, your enclosure is installed directly around the lab vacuum pump. This allows installation during operation, ensuring minimal downtime and uninterrupted performance.

• Full access for draining, monitoring and servicing
• Integrated ventilation to ensure proper airflow and cooling
• Built to meet lab safety standards

What sound-absorbing materials are used for noise control?

High-performance acoustic materials

To resolve your noise issue, our panels combine sound insulation and absorption, blocking noise at its source while keeping your pump system running efficiently.

Inside the box, you will find acoustic soundproof foam that act as a sound barrier and significantly reduces noise from your rotary vacuum pump. With these soundproofing foams, you can reduce noise levels by up to 20 dBA. But not only that, we integrate a fan system that ensures proper ventilation, efficiently circulating air into the box for continuous cooling, optimal pump operation and preventing overheating while maintaining low energy consumption.

The system also includes an overheating alarm that alerts users if the equipment overheats, ensuring safety and preventing damage on your rotary vacuum pump. A mobility tray allows easy movement and repositioning of heavy equipment, adding flexibility to your workspace layout. But also, it isolates the pump from the ground, improving vibration damping. The oil drain kit simplifies oil changes by preventing leaks and making regular maintenance easier and cleaner. 

Finally, the heat removal module connects to your lab’s ventilation system to remove pump heat, reduce electricity costs, and support eco-friendly operation.

Key benefits of installing a high-quality noise reduction pump enclosure

Key benefits for your laboratory

• Sound reduction by up to 20 dB(A) – effective noise control which protects staff and improves focus.
• Improved acoustic comfort – reduce stress and create a more pleasant work environment.
• Tailored installation – enclosures designed to fit your space and operational needs.
• Vibration reduction – floor isolation prevents disruptive vibrations from spreading through lab surfaces, improving both comfort and equipment stability.
• Compliance with safety standards – maintain optimal airflow and pump performance.
