Blender cover for sound deadening?

[Kaido]

Can't be louder than the Blendtec. That thing drowns out all conversation within 15 feet while it's going off.

Seriously. My neighbors can hear it outside through the kitchen window when they're walking by.

Nah, they use Blendtec's gear. The blender with the noise-reduction enclosure is $1,300:

Maybe yours does but the ones I've seen use Vitamix. A lot of places use Vitamix The Quiet One in commercial applications. It's at least $1000. I'd buy one but I don't think I can justify it at the moment.

Oh, I can hear mine from pretty far too... Trust me, this Vitamix ain't quiet. I cover my ears every time I use it. It will stop any yelling match.

It is a stealth blender so it must be quiet. Only 4 left.

Interesting that they would use different blenders at different locations...I've compared the Vitamix to the Blendtec directly & they blend up a bit differently. I guess not enough of a difference for commercial business, but my Blendtec liquifies things, whereas the Vitamix does thicker smoothies. Hmm.

No, I think Jamba Juice uses these: https://www.vitamix.com/Commercial/Products/Beverage-Blenders/The-Quiet-One



You can dampen it or morph it in a way to get it to be quieter. I've seen demos of them being used.

So just buy that.

Or if you're so intent on your brilliant cover idea, go to home depot and buy some LDF and some particle board, etc. Make a lid out of the board that fits into the blender top and glue a bunch of the LDF to the bottom side of the board. Won't really do much but hey, whatever floats your boat.

The Vitamix I have liquifies too. I mean, it'll turn most anything into a liquid easily. You can look at the QVC Vitamix videos on youtube to get an idea.

Vitamix, IMO, seems to be the standard to be compared against. That's why I got it over a Blendtec or what not.

i dont see anything beating a cardboard box lined with dynamat in price.

 

[Red Squirrel]

i bet you dont take off your shoes either when you go home

I always do unless I need to get something real quick I might "cheat" and leave them on.

But apparently a lot of people in the states don't, I always thought that was odd.

Op bought a two hundred dollar trashcan. Your cardboard box is beneath him.

 

[soulcougher73]

Line your trashcan with dynomat.

Are you juicing, if yes get a masticating juicer instead, they work more slowly and won't make as much noise and they're actually better as they don't kill the enzymes. (or so they say, there's a whole debate on that).

how exactly does a blender hurt an enzyme?

Heat from blades (supposedly, I don't how hot they get).

 

[MongGrel]

Heat from blades.

This is probably true actually, from various things I've seen over time, relates a bit to coffee grinders also I suppose.

Blades at high speed will generate a lot of heat to what is being ground/mixed.

It's just a physics thing.

Also OP should be glad he isn't using this:

Lulz. Health nuts.

But given the volume of liquid involved, it is not a whole lot of heat distributed. Also, what is the point of enzymes if it cannot suvive the few degree increase (exagerating here) when you are about to dump it into 37° C furnance?Pretty sure whatever you are juicing does not have a normal temp of 30°+ C.
