SEM MX-Series Sound Enclosures

 The SEM MX-Series provides custom made, built to order, modular sound enclosures for disintegrator systems. The series includes three base models: The SEM MX-37, SEM MX-40, and SEM MX-48 to meet the needs of any room or machine. 

Sound enclosures provide ultimate operator and environmental health and safety by mitigating sound and debris from the destruction process. The modular design also allows ease of access for any future movement, repair, or addition to a destruction system or solution.

What to Know About Sound Enclosures

Best-in-Class Construction

All three SEM MX-Series sound enclosures are made with solid steel construction, a vibration dampening liner, encapsulated mineral wool, and a gasket seal for doors. It is recommended to have a 10’ by 12’ room for most sound enclosures.

Works With Any SEM Disintegrator

SEM MX-Series sound enclosures are fully customizable to be compatible with any of SEM’s disintegrator options. That means whether you’re looking for a low volume solution like the SEM Model 1012/5 or a high volume solution like the Model 3000, an MX-Series sound enclosure can be constructed for ultimate operator safety and protection.

Value Kit Compatible

The SEM MX-Series can be integrated into disintegrator value kits that includes a disintegrator, hour meter, push button controls, a visual load meter, dual bag waste collection and more.

Sound and Strength

Sound Transmission Class (STC) is the most commonly used sound rating in North America for determining airborne sound transmission and loss. A higher STC rating demonstrates higher performance. The MX number in the sound enclosure class is directly correlated to the product’s STC rating.

Inversely, the gauge of steel is stronger the lower the number. So a gauge of 14 is stronger than a gauge of 16.

Waste Collection Air Systems

SEM has a complete line of waste collection air systems that pair with SEM disintegrators to improve the efficiency of collecting disintegrated material. Made with a solid steel frame, SEM offers several versions to meet the volume of any destruction location.

Briquettors

While shredding sensitive documents eliminates security concerns, it doesn’t solve disposal issues — which is where briquetting systems come in. From small systems to room-size, fully automated processes, SEM briquettors reduce large volumes of loose waste into small, manageable — and fully recyclable — briquettes.
