Portable Acoustic Screens for Industrial Noise Control
Industrial Portable Acoustic Screens and Noise Barriers
Portable acoustic screens provide a flexible solution for reducing noise from machinery and industrial processes. Steel Guard Safety portable noise barriers are designed to absorb and block sound while allowing easy repositioning within a facility.
Portable acoustic screens are ideal for facilities that require temporary or movable noise control solutions without permanent installation.
Sound Shield acoustic screens combine quilted fiberglass sound absorption with mass loaded composite materials to control both reflected and transmitted noise. This dual-layer design helps reduce ambient noise while blocking lower frequency sound from equipment and machinery.

industrial noise control products.
Flexible and Modular Noise Control Design
Portable acoustic screens are modular and can be configured into two, three, or four-sided enclosures. Panels can be connected with hinges to create adjustable layouts, making them ideal for isolating noise at the source.
Optional caster wheels allow screens to be easily moved and repositioned as needed. Each system is built with a heavy-duty 16-gauge galvanized steel frame for durability and long-term use in industrial environments.
Common Applications for Acoustic Screens
- Compressor enclosures
- Grinding and cutting equipment
- Printing press noise control
- Equipment noise barriers
- Blower and fan noise reduction

When to Use Portable Acoustic Screens vs Other Noise Control Solutions
Portable acoustic screens are ideal when noise control needs to be flexible or temporary. Unlike fixed sound curtains or full enclosures, acoustic screens can be repositioned as needed to isolate noise from different equipment or work areas.

Portable acoustic screens are used to reduce noise from machinery and equipment in industrial environments where flexibility is required.
They do both. Acoustic screens absorb reflected sound and can include mass loaded vinyl to block sound transmission.
