Machine Foundation - Raytheon SC125VNV Installation & Maintenance

Installation

Machine Foundation

Note: Do not mount on wooden floors,
above ground level, or over basements or
crawlspaces. Installation must be "slab on
grade" or equivalent.
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.
A proper foundation is absolutely necessary
for all models because of the high extract
speed and the G-forces exerted.
Thoroughness of detail must be stressed with
all foundation work to insure a stable unit
installation, eliminating possibilities of
excessive vibration during extract.
The machine must be secured to a foundation
or floor of adequate construction. The floor
must be 3500 psi minimum reinforced
concrete embedded in clean, compacted fill
dirt. The floor must be at least 12 inches
(304 mm) thick.
The machine 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
machine on only four points.) If anchor bolts
are used instead of a rebar frame to install the
machine, the anchor bolts must be a minimum
of 3/4-inch diameter, grade 5.
Care must be exercised in the design of the
mounting base due to the force exerted by the
machine during extract.
Static and dynamic loads on the floor or
foundation are shown in the following table,
Cabinet Hardmount Floor Load Data. This
table can be used as a reference when
designing floors and foundations.
