Table 1

 

 

Machine Foundation

Thoroughness of detail must be stressed with all foundation work to ensure a stable unit installation, eliminating possibilities of excessive vibration during extract.

CAUTION

Ensure that the machine is installed on a level floor of sufficient strength and that the recommended clearances for inspection and maintenance are provided. Never allow the inspection and maintenance space to be blocked.

W488

The washer-extractor must be placed on a smooth level surface so that the entire base of the machine is supported and rests on the mounting surface.

The standard installation does not require anchoring unless mandated by state or local codes.

Kinetic energy of the cylinder and dynamic loads on the floor or foundation are shown in Table 2.

Table 2 can be used as a reference when designing floors and foundations.
