Combination silencers for machines, plants and vehicle technology

Combination silencers reduce engine and exhaust noise in vehicles, machinery and equipment. This silencer solution combines the properties of the reflection and absorption principles. This allows high and low frequencies to be attenuated simultaneously. To reduce noise, a combination silencer must also work reliably in permanently challenging weather conditions, vibrations, hot emissions and pressure requirements.

Individual combination silencers from NovaNox®.

Benefit from our many years of expertise in exhaust technology! We design and manufacture individual combination silencers for manufacturers of machines, equipment and vehicles. We do all the preparation for you in terms of dimensions, arrangement and materials. The performance of NovaNox® combination silencers is enhanced by the optimal use of the available installation space. This improves the reduction of engine and exhaust noise. The selected materials also ensure that a NovaNox® combination silencer delivers its maximum performance. NovaNox® combination silencers are made of tested steel or stainless steel. The insulating material inside consists exclusively of first-class fiberglass wool, stainless steel wool or rock wool. Does condensation occur more frequently in your application? Then we can optionally use insulation materials that do not bind moisture. This prevents the persistent formation of condensation within the combination silencers. This gives the combination silencers a significantly longer service life with reliable performance.

Services

For your safety, we use FEM calculations to check, for example, the structural strength, vibration resistance and material productivity of your concept in the early development phases. This keeps you on the safe side during the test phases and after your customers have put your product into operation.
In the process, we digitally show you the consequences of a wide range of mechanical, thermal and electrical stresses using linear and non-linear structural-mechanical calculations. This enables us to examine the consequences of various influences on the entire product or component - even with a complex shape - even before the prototype is built.
The results of these calculations can also be used as evidence for technical approvals, for product liability and production releases.
At NovaNox®, FEM calculations are performed analytically according to general and international standards. This ensures comparability and reliable results. We take over for you

  • linear and non-linear structural mechanics calculations
  • Analysis of deformations, stiffnesses and stability
  • Consideration of natural vibrations
  • Transient structural analysis
  • Collision analyses
  • Temperature field calculation (thermal-stationary or thermal-transient)
  • CAE-supported fatigue analysis with nCode

Noise measurements of the sound levels LAFmax, LAFmin as well as LCpeak on site are of course part of our service. With the measurement we determine the sound level distribution in the frequency range from 20 to 20,000 Hz. Based on these measurement results, we calculate the power requirement for your sound attenuator and design an adequate structure for it. We then determine the insertion loss according to the planned design. If necessary, this allows us to optimize the component to achieve maximum sound attenuation when operating your product.

Right from the start, we work out the concept, planning, design of the construction, the material and the manufacturing process together with you. In this way, we achieve realistic results for later series production already in the prototype phase. This ensures the best possible results and compliance with your time and cost planning. For final fine-tuning, we examine the FAI results and refine the manufacturing process for maximum effectiveness and profitability. We assist in reducing time-to-market and successfully launching production on schedule. This is easy on your project budget and provides optimum security.

You can entrust us with your complete process from demand planning to logistical handling. So that you additionally save costs compared to your own warehousing and due to larger production volumes, we provide you with a total of 1,200 sqm of storage space as a consignment warehouse. In this way, you can produce without interruption. You benefit from an optimum supply of components for your series production. Your combination silencers are delivered from the consignment warehouse on demand and on time. We fully integrate your existing logistics processes into our warehouse and delivery processes. Thus, you can rely on a secure component supply for combination silencers from NovaNox® all year round. You want to know more? Talk to us!

Quality management

Welding process planning determines the optimum welding process for the specific criteria that your welded combination silencer is to meet. Selecting the optimal welding process increases the safety and stability of your combination silencers. Welding process planning also determines the ideal welding sequence. The correct sequence of welding operations influences the efficiency of manufacturing processes and increases the service life of your welded combination silencers. In addition, the optimum welding sequence ensures that your combination silencer seals reliably in all applications.

Type identification enables easy traceability of the combination silencers back to their point of origin. The entire product life from manufacture to the last use can be traced in detail. Such proof gives you additional security.
Which type designation comes into question depends on the material and the stress on your combination silencers. We offer these variants:

  • Laser engraving
  • Welded metal plates with laser engraving
  • Self-adhesive metal signs with laser engraving
  • Self-adhesive plastic signs with specific imprint and silicone coating for external protection

Trace your combination silencers at any time using personal identification features consisting of symbols, numbers or letters. This integrated solution simplifies effective route and process tracking!

The leak test gives you the certainty that your combination silencers will remain absolutely leak-proof even in continuous operation and under extreme requirements. For your additional security, we will be happy to provide you with the result of this quality management process for each reference batch as a written certificate of conformity. This NovaNox® test certificate is integrated into your overall documentation in no time at all. We undertake these leak tests for you:
