Driven by the rapid development of fresh food e-commerce and cold chain logistics, the construction of food cold storage, distribution centers and processing workshops has accelerated significantly. Constant-running refrigeration units, conveyor belts and ventilation systems generate continuous broadband noise. Noise not only affects staff communication and operation efficiency, but also long-term exposure risks violating occupational health standards. The low-temperature and high-humidity environment also puts forward higher requirements on the moisture resistance and dimensional stability of acoustic materials.
Industry data shows that in the first half of 2026, the number of acoustic control projects for cold chain logistics worldwide increased by 29% year-on-year. The mainstream solution adopts a combined configuration of high-density inorganic fiberglass acoustic ceiling tiles and modular damping industrial sound barriers. Fiberglass acoustic ceiling tiles (NRC 0.90–0.95) are fully laid, which efficiently absorb full-spectrum reflected noise, and feature moisture resistance and dimensional stability in low-temperature environments, adapting to cold chain operation scenarios. Modular sound barriers are arranged around high-noise refrigeration units, with a single-layer STC rating of up to 27dB, blocking direct noise propagation to work areas.
QinSound’s industrial-grade acoustic product line covers the full scenarios of cold storage, sorting areas and equipment rooms. All products meet ASTM E84 / EN 13501 Class A fire safety standards, and maintain stable performance in fluctuating low-temperature environments. Industry analysts point out that with the continuous investment in cold chain infrastructure, acoustic systems will become a standard configuration for the construction of food cold chain facilities.
