PERFECTING THE SCIENCE OF SOUND

Industries We Proudly Serve

Agriculture

The farm is a peaceful place. Well, it’s supposed to be. Large Agricultural Machinery produces a lot of noise. And while it cuts through the silence of nature, it can also damage operator hearing. We help manufacturers enhance the acoustical performance of their machines.

Bus & Rail

Millions of people ride public transportation every day, and many of those people try to use that time to get things done for work or school. Unfortunately, the noise and shakiness of public transportation can thwart those efforts. We give bus and train manufacturers the tools they need to absorb sounds and vibrations to improve rider satisfaction and increase vehicle performance.

Construction

Building future cities requires machines with a lot of power, and those machines kick off a lot of heat and noise. We custom engineer the acoustical insulation and thermal material solutions needed for Yellow Goods to run stronger, build quieter and keep operators safer.

Heavy Truck

The hum of the open road has been a trucking calling card for decades, but the actual noise and vibrations can be annoying and hazardous. We create custom sound and thermal barriers, dampers, absorbers and wraps to allow these machines to keep on trucking.

Power Generation

Emergency and portable power generators bring electricity to places that need it, but they can also create unwanted noise, heat and vibrations. Our custom designed sound absorbers, composite materials and engineered thermal management solutions help manufacturers build quieter and safer machines.

Specialty & Performance Vehicles

With experience creating solutions for everything from high-performance racing vehicles to military tanks, boats, planes and more, Blachford gives manufacturers custom resolutions to absorb and block sound, dampen vibrations and reduce thermal risks.

Customers Who Trust Blachford Acoustics Group

“Blachford eliminated SKUs. Across product families, the reduction of one SKU is a $10k savings. Blachford eliminated 14 SKUs.”

– Noise Control Research Engineer – Construction Equipment Manufacturer

“The first project with Blachford, it was a definite quality improvement, and it was over a million dollar yearly cost savings for just the purchase parts themselves. We went from 28 (SKU) parts to 14.”

– Design Engineer – Heavy Equipment Manufacturer

“Noise is important to brand image. It is one of the top factors along with driveability and reliability. Acoustics – it’s a 4 out of 5, it might even be a 5 in importance projecting the image, the brand, and the quality that we want projected to the market.”

– Design Engineer – Truck Manufacturer

“Our ten-fold growth prior to our acquisition was expedited by our working relationship with Blachford.”

– Design Engineer

“For our shareholders, we have to produce a product at the lowest cost, at the right level of quality and sell it at the highest price we can. We look for suppliers who can help us do that. Blachford helps us do that.”

– Global Procurement Manager – Construction Equipment Manufacturer

“When a company does a spec, boundary conditions like humidity that day, temperature, that all matters. ASPM national or international spec. We try to verify where we can, but we don’t even have the equipment they have. We trust their specifications. Blachford brings innovative ideas, processes, materials, and offerings we value.”

– Design Engineer – Truck Manufacturer

“Then, bringing them in at the beginning with our new product design, it probably saved 6-12 months of development. We didn’t just wa nt the spec sheet value. We wanted customers to get in the machine and experience the difference.”

– Design Engineer – Heavy Equipment Manufacturer

“If we have an acoustics issue, we will reach out to Blachford since they are the experts. It saves us money because we do not have to keep an acoustic expert on site with an annual salary, with benefits, of $125K.”

– Design Engineer – Truck Manufacturer

“As a mechanical engineer, we make stuff that is practical and affordable and Blachford’s materials routinely help me reach these goals.”

– Design Engineer

“We [purchasing department] reported savings of $100k annually from moving to the die-cut solution using Blachford.”
