Specifications and Dimensions

Machine Foundation Requirements

A 12 inch (305 mm) thickness of 3500 psi reinforced concrete foundation is absolutely necessary for all UWPV washer-extractors because of the high extract speed and the G-forces exerted.

When designing floors or foundations, refer to Table 2 for Floor Load Data for all model sizes. If the foundation requirements have been met, proceed to Mounting Bolt Installation Requirements section.

NOTE: Do not mount on wooden floors, above ground level, or over basements. Installation must be “slab on grade” or equal.

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.

SW020

For new foundations a bolt-locator fixture or rebar frame is available and a preferred option. This rigid welded assembly made of reinforcing rod and mounting bolts is designed to be embedded in concrete. Refer to Figure 7.

The washer-extractor must be anchored to a smooth level surface so that the entire base of the machine is supported and rests on the mounting surface. (Do not support the washer-extractor on only four points.)

Make sure to grout machine. Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7.
