Mechanical ventilation produces noise, which is undesirable in some situations; fortunately, at Smitsair we can offer a suitable solution. Smitsair Luchttechniek’s silencers are specially designed to reduce noise in air handling systems. Whether for use in air duct systems, mechanical ventilation systems, behind outdoor air grilles, or as standalone sound-absorbing baffles, our silencers provide reliable and efficient solutions for every situation. See the different types of Smitsair silencers below for more information.
Smitsair silencers are used to reduce noise in air handling systems. They are essential in environments where comfort and noise reduction are important, such as offices, hospitals, residential complexes, schools and industrial facilities.
For rectangular air ducts, the GD / GD-R and K / K-R types are suitable. These sliding-door silencers can be easily integrated into new or existing ventilation systems.
Separate sound-absorbing K-type baffles are also used in roof penetration ducts to limit sound transmission to or from the outside. This is particularly useful in residential and commercial buildings.
Smitsair silencers are versatile and offer reliable noise reduction. Wherever silence or acoustic comfort is required, we provide a suitable solution.
GD-100 and GD-200: these slide-type silencers provide effective noise attenuation in air handling systems or behind outdoor air grilles. Available with or without resonance panels, in a range of materials and designs. These slide-type silencers can be easily integrated into both new and existing systems. View the details and intermediate attenuation in our technical documentation.
K-100 and K-200: these sound-absorbing ducts provide effective sound attenuation in duct systems, amongst other applications. Available with or without resonance panels, in a range of materials and designs. These ducts can be easily integrated into both new and existing systems. See our technical documentation for details and intermediate attenuation values.
GR and GRK: these circular silencers are specially designed for easy integration into circular duct systems. Both types offer a high level of sound attenuation and are available in various duct sizes. The GRK type has greater sound attenuation capacity than the GR type. See our technical documentation for details and intermediate attenuation values.
GDBV-140/45: a combination of a rain-resistant grille and a silencer, ideal for installation in the facades of, amongst others, machine rooms, air-handling units and roof-mounted units. See our technical documentation for details and intermediate attenuation.

Frequently asked questions about silencers
What is a silencer?
A silencer is a specially designed component that reduces noise from mechanical ventilation systems and air ducts. Smitsair silencers can be used in both new and existing installations.
What is the difference between a GR and a GRK round silencer?
Both the GR and GRK are suitable for circular duct systems and are easy to integrate. They offer high sound attenuation, with the GRK providing greater sound attenuation than the GR thanks to an additional core.
Are there silencers for mechanical ventilation?
Yes, Smitsair offers silencers specifically designed for mechanical ventilation. These silencers reduce the noise caused by airflows and fans, both in the exhaust and supply air streams.
Are Smitsair silencers suitable for air ducts?
Yes, Smitsair supplies a range of silencers for air ducts. The GD, K and GR models can be easily integrated into both new and existing duct systems and provide effective noise reduction in places such as offices, hospitals and residential complexes.
Sound-absorbing side panels or sound-dampening side panels: which is best suited to my system?
- Sliding-wall silencers are fully assembled components consisting of a casing with integrated sound-absorbing sliding walls. They are designed for direct installation in rectangular air ducts or behind outdoor air grilles and are supplied as complete units.
- Sound-absorbing baffles are separate baffles without an enclosure. They are often used as built-in components within existing or bespoke enclosures, or in situations where space and integration require greater flexibility.
