The colour of the casing for silent diesel Generator Sets can be customised – each unit is colour-matched to suit its specific application

In the minds of many generator set purchasers, the colour of the enclosure is merely an insignificant ‘aesthetic detail’; however, in actual engineering projects, colour serves a purpose that goes far beyond mere appearance. It can act as an extension of a company’s corporate identity (CI) system, a visual safeguard for site safety management, or a barrier that helps the equipment blend into its natural surroundings. It is for this very reason that Jiangsu Xinhua Zhong Automation Equipment Co., Ltd. (XHZ Power Solutions) has launched a fully customisable casing colour service for silent diesel generator sets for its global customers, ensuring that every unit is clad in the ‘outfit’ best suited to its specific operating environment.

Our customisation services cover a very wide range of applications. Whether our clients are from hospitals, data centres, telecoms base stations, airports or ports, or from mines, oil fields, construction sites, emergency rescue services, agricultural irrigation, rental fleets, or from sectors such as government emergency reserves, military communications, forestry and scenic areas, and municipal engineering, they can all submit requests for colour customisation to us. The minimum order quantity for customised orders is two units. The standard production lead time is 15 to 25 days. We offer flexible trade terms, including EXW, FOB and CIF, and support multimodal transport via sea and land.

In practical applications, colour plays a distinctly different role in various usage scenarios. In high-risk work areas such as mines, underground sites and night-time construction sites, high-visibility colours such as yellow, orange and fluorescent green can significantly reduce the incidence of collisions. These colours comply with the internationally recognised OSHA safety colour standards and serve as the ‘first line of defence’ in construction site safety management. In settings such as hospitals, cleanrooms and commercial buildings, customers tend to favour refreshing colours such as light grey, silver-white and off-white, which convey a sense of cleanliness, hygiene and professionalism. In settings requiring ‘low visual impact’—such as forestry, agriculture, scenic areas and nature reserves—colours such as dark green, army green, earthy brown and sand help the units blend more effectively into the natural environment, thereby avoiding visual disruption in areas where appearance is a concern. In central state-owned enterprises, state-owned enterprises, foreign-invested projects and rental fleets, soundproof enclosures typically need to align with the client’s overall brand VI system, integrating the generator sets into the enterprise’s visual identity system to reinforce a unified brand image. In emergency sectors such as fire and rescue services, hospital Backup Power supplies and emergency command centres, primary colour schemes of red and white enable the public to identify the location of emergency power sources immediately, providing visual guidance for rapid response during emergencies. Meanwhile, in long-term deployment scenarios such as coal mines, deserts and high-dust outdoor environments, dirt-resistant colours such as dark grey, dark blue and army green reduce the workload involved in daily cleaning and maintenance, ensuring the units retain an attractive appearance even after years of continuous use.

Our silent canopy enclosures are manufactured with steel panels that undergo a complete pre-treatment process, with box panel thickness ranging from 1.8 to 2.0 mm, ensuring robust structural strength. The surface is coated with an epoxy zinc-rich primer, achieving a coating thickness of 80 to 120 microns, which delivers excellent corrosion resistance and salt-spray protection, making it suitable for harsh environments including coastal climates. The canopy features a split-type base fuel tank with a plate thickness of 4 to 6 mm, supporting continuous operation for 8 hours or more. Upper lifting points are provided for easy overhead handling, and forklift slots are integrated for convenient ground movement. All hinges and door locks are constructed from stainless steel materials, guaranteeing long-term reliability and resistance to rust and wear.
