Industrial damping

Industrial damping with foam

Industrial damping focuses on controlling noise and vibrations in machines, installations and buildings. With the right foam, you reduce wear, increase reliability and improve comfort for employees. Industrial damping is not a standard product but a tailored solution that we adapt precisely to your application, environment and requirements.

Foam as a solution for industrial damping

Industrial processes require reliable materials that control peak loads, resonances and structure-borne noise. Specially developed sound-absorbing foam absorbs noise without adding much weight. Typical applications include industrial sound damping around fans, compressors and transport systems. The material is dimensionally stable, low-emission and suitable for series production, making industrial damping both effective and economical.

Advantages of foam for industrial damping

Durable: recyclable material and long service life
Efficient: high damping performance with minimal volume and weight
Clean and safe: low dust emission and free from harmful substances

Intermediate foam layers for component protection

Sensitive components can be damaged by vibrations and impacts. Foam for component protection absorbs these shocks, keeping everything firmly in place and immediately reducing structure-borne noise. Custom foam inlays provide exactly the right support and protection.

Vibration damping in industrial applications

Vibrations often cause malfunctions or loose components. Vibration damping foam absorbs these vibrations without the need for heavy springs or rubber blocks. Applying foam in the right places keeps the structure stable and predictable.

Foam for electronic enclosures

Electronics must be well protected against noise and vibrations. Damping gaskets and foam for electronics seal joints, dampen resonances and ensure stable installation. Acoustic foam in housings prevents whistling noises and unwanted echoes. PU foam in industrial applications offers a uniform structure and wide design possibilities.

Sound-absorbing inlays in cabinets or pump units

Pump stations and machines operate more quietly with sound-absorbing inlays. These foam layers are applied directly to the walls. For humid environments, we use specially finished foam for pump housings. This allows for effective industrial damping without complex modifications.

Typical applications

Pump units, compressors, fans and drives
Control panels and enclosures
Logistics cabinets and production machinery

Acoustic applications in work environments

Not only machines but also workspaces benefit from foam. Acoustic foam for call centers improves speech intelligibility. Foam for recording booths creates a neutral sound without disturbing reflections. Sound-absorbing foam in production halls reduces noise levels and contributes to a more pleasant working environment.

Foam types and finishes

For each project, we select the material based on load, environment and service life. PU foam for industrial applications offers a wide range of densities and stiffness levels. Polyester foam performs well in airborne sound absorption and dimensional stability, while polyether foam often performs better in humid environments. At IFG, you will find industrial damping solutions that balance absorption, insulation and buffering.

Common choices:

Sound-absorbing foam with open-cell structure for enclosures and ducts
Vibration damping foam with controlled spring constant for machine bases
Sound-absorbing inlays with washable top layers for hygienic sectors

Custom solutions and collaboration for damping foam

Every machine and enclosure requires a unique solution. With custom damping foam, we design shapes and thicknesses that fit perfectly. Prototypes are quickly tested in your setup, ensuring that noise and vibration damping with foam works in practice. We think along with you and provide solutions that remain easy to service.
