The noise generated by boats’ engines is subject to detailed rules, laid out in directive 2003/44/EC. In order to limit the sound emissions of diesel engines and generators in the maritime sector which represent environmental noise pollution, it is necessary to incorporate suitable sound abatement equipment, in other words marine silencers.
What exactly are silencers for marine engines?
Exhaust silencers for marine engines are devices used to minimise the noise produced by boat engines. A boat's silencers are part of its exhaust system, and are a mandatory component which each vessel must be equipped with. Their sound reduction ability is excellent thanks to their shape and the materials they are made from.
CO.FE.ME, with its 30+ years of experience in exhaust purification and silencing for internal combustion engines, is able to supply a series of silenced devices customised for all types of boats and engine rooms. Our silencers feature very high quality materials to guarantee an extremely reliable and durable product. Internal combustion engines generate high temperatures which affect the entire exhaust system. Silencers are created specifically to reduce the noise level, but at the same time must be resistant to these high temperatures including over the long term, as well as all degradation factors deriving from their use, preventing all possible incidents. Our products are created using the latest technologies to guarantee the best possible results.
CO.FE.ME silencers can be made from:
FIBREGLASS or GRP, which is a type of plastic made stronger thanks to the glass fibres incorporated in it
