Muffler/silencer for Colex vac table?

[tedbragg]

I may have already asked this—if so itd have been awhile ago. Does anyone have suggestions for quieting down a Colex vac table? There are six vac pumps under it, and despite wearing earplugs AND ear cans it’s still so freakin loud.

I looked at car mufflers but they’re a tad too bulky. What can I do? We’re running the Sharpcut 5x10 model. Asked Colex and they just laughed

Cherry Bomb glass pack muffler would be the cheapest. If you want an OEM look silencer get these: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pte-h3013 Color is somewhat close to some of the OEM ring blower stuff. Either way get the longest, largest diameter muffler you can.

I used to build different types of equipment using ring blowers. The OEM special "mufflers" were nothing more than a round cased color matched glass pack. They were also ridiculously expensive. Check it out for yourself.

Expensive? Yup. https://www.grainger.com/product/SOLBERG-26-in-In-High-Flow-Carbon-4FY66

Can you send the make and model of your vacuum pump? I can get you a quote for muffler that is properly configured for it. A properly configured muffler with give you a 10 to 20 db drop in exhaust sound levels.
