Installation & Setup 4

4-1 Chapter Description and Objectives

It is the intent of this chapter to familiarize the reader with the proper site

requirements and installation procedures of the SGB blending system. The

information in this chapter is NOT meant to replace or supersede an established

local or company implemented procedures. It is meant to enhance them.

4-2 Site Requirements

This section describes site requirements in detail. These requirements are

broken down into mechanical mounting, electrical connections and pneumatic

connections. Since the SGB is available in several different mounting

arrangements, it is necessary for the reader to become familiar with the different

arrangements.

4-2-1 Mounting Configuration

The SGB System is available in (3) three basic mounting arrangements.

They are:

• Machine Mount

• Mezzanine Mount

• Floor Mount

4-2-1-1 Machine Mount

In a machine mounting application of the SGB unit, there are a

few items to review before placement and mounting of the

blending system begins.

First, verify the machine flange dimensions match the SGB

flange (if the optional pre-drilled holes were ordered). The SGB

can also be equipped with an optional cast throat section with a

drain port. This will bolt under the bottom plate of the blender.

Verify that the machine throat is physically capable of

supporting the SGB blending system with a full load of material

and vacuum loading equipment installed.

Important! While in operation, the SGB applies horizontal and vertical

pressures to the mounting flange. If there is a question as

to the mechanical stability of a mounting flange, contact

Sterling’s Engineering department.
