Any way to close off the room if an axle is entering it?

[Gazz]

This is allowed and working :

 

And while you may not be able to close off grinder / pulveriser directly...

You can put a thin (chiseled) plate in front of the input / output chests. If you cut out an opening in that plate and it is small enough the plate still counts as insulating.
Or use a trapdoor for that. They are also "closed".

It takes more braining and effort to have your engineering room "neat" but it's doable.

Lemme necro this, so I can suggest this lovely atrocity:

 
 

Visually questionable at best, but the low cost and flexibility of trap doors is appreciated.

"Mechanical power upgrades: Added large windmill, in-wall axles and spur gears (WIP)"

My first reaction: Oh great, this mad Seraph has turned the sky blood red with man-made horrors beyond our comprehension.
