Acoustic solutions for the food & beverage industry

Lowering sound levels without compromising hygienic standards

In both food and beverage production, maintaining strict hygiene is non-negotiable, but this often comes at the expense of the acoustic environment. Hard, reflective surfaces dominate these spaces to meet cleaning requirements, while bottling lines, filling stations, conveyor belts, freezing units, and preparation zones generate continuous, high noise levels. The result: loud, reverberant environments that challenge communication, focus, and safety.

Challenges:

  • High noise levels from machinery in confined and reflective environments
  • Hard surfaces create high reverberation and elevated sound levels
  • Communication challenges due to poor speech clarity
  • Strict hygiene and cleanability demands

Solutions:

  • Install sound-absorbing ceilings to reduce overall noise
  • Use baffles where wall-to-wall ceilings aren’t possible to install
  • Add wall panels to limit sound propagation and improve speech clarity
