Acoustic Enclosure for Ball Mill

Engineered noise control solutions for ball mills — designed, manufactured, and installed by ARK Noise Control (India)

Why Ball Mill Noise Needs Control

Ball mills generate extremely high noise levels of 100-115 dB(A) due to the continuous impact of steel grinding media against the mill shell and the material being ground. The noise is broadband with dominant low-frequency content that propagates over long distances. In cement plants and mineral processing facilities, ball mill noise is often the single largest contributor to overall plant noise and a major source of occupational hearing hazard.

How ARK Solves Ball Mill Noise

ARK designs heavy-duty acoustic enclosures for ball mills that address the extreme noise levels and challenging site conditions typical of cement plants and mining operations. Our enclosures use thick, mass-loaded composite panels with multi-layer acoustic infill optimised for low-frequency attenuation. The enclosure structure is designed to withstand the vibration transmitted from the mill foundations, with vibration-isolated connections and reinforced framing. Large removable panels and access doors allow for liner and media replacement during maintenance shutdowns.

Key Benefits

  • Noise reduction of 15 to 35+ dB(A) — bring levels below 85 dB(A) at operator positions
  • Heavy-duty construction withstands mill vibration and dusty environment
  • Low-frequency optimised panels for effective attenuation of ball impact noise
  • Large removable panels for mill liner replacement and grinding media charging
  • Dust-resistant ventilation system prevents acoustic media contamination
  • Modular design enables phased installation during planned shutdowns
