The purpose of this part about civil engineering works is to define the general principles of construction and the time schedule for building the shell required to install the Xpedia 360 EX External Rotary Milking Parlour. It specifies the geometric and mechanical parameters to be adopted in order to complete this shell, as well as the required characteristics of the materials (concrete and steel) for building the various parts (foundations, walls, apron, flooring).

reinforcements will be set at approx. 40mm (1.57 in.) from the excavation bottom (or placed in 40mm [1.57 in.]-thick previously-cast blinding concrete). The tops of the frames of this reinforcement will therefore extend about 150mm (5.91 in.) above the foundation surface so as to be embedded in the concrete slab of the milking parlour which will be laid later. 6.

This can be achieved by shuttering the underside of the coping and placing a 30mm expanded polystyrene sheet against the outer metal curb of the rotating apron. The platform coping, cast overhanging the supporting wall, must include at least one HBS steel fe E 500 ST 25C welded mesh positioned 30mm from the level of the finished floor of the platform.

5. INSTALLATION DRAWINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 5.1 INSTALLING THE MEASURING EQUIPMENT Using FBN M10 X 160 anchor bolts, secure the rotary parlour shaft and make it level (see figure 4) FIGURE 4 : Page 25 9e1006b DMRI12121409...
5.2 LAYOUT AND FITTING SUPPORTS 400 AND 800 1. Mark out radius (R8) on the ground. 2. After consulting Figures 5 & 6 in order to determine the position of Supports 400 and 800, mark an initial point on the radius depending on the exit points of the geared motor supply conduits. 3.
5.3 LAYOUT AND FITTING THE GEAR MOTOR(S) ATTENTION! FOLLOW THESE MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS, NO OTHER MOUNTING IS ALLOWED. ANY OTHER MOUNTING OR MOUNTING POSITION CAN CAUSE DETERIORATION OF THE GEAR MOTORS. 1. Mark out Radius on the ground. (R13). 2. Mark out and drill at an equal distance from Supports 400 dimension 542mm (21.35 in.), using a Ø16mm (0.63 in.) bit, to a depth of 90mm (3.54 in.) (see Figure 8).

Once the geared motor is completely installed: - Replace the plug (2’) located beneath the cubic reducer with the breather plug. If the reducer has no dipstick button on one of its surfaces, the breather plug also has a dipstick. - After removing the dipstick-plug (2), top off the level of lubricant in the cylindrical reducer.
5.4 FITTING THE TRACK 1. Mark out the internal radius of the inner track along Support 400 and 800 (see Figure 10). 2. Fit the inner track with a tolerance to the radius of + or - 3mm (0.12 in.) and temporarily secure it. 3.
5.5 LAYOUT AND FITTING THE STALLS 1. Fix the four diametrically opposed floor slab supports onto the top ring (see Figures 11 & 14). 2. Perfectly align the supports with the middle of the rotary with the aid of a cord, observing the radius R11, and checking that the four diagonals are the same (see Figure 14).
5.11 CONCRETING THE ROTATING APRON ATTENTION! During concreting, the rotating apron must be prevented from turning and should be held in place by props beneath the inner and outer curbs of the rotating apron 5.12 FITTING THE BEAM (SEE FIGURE 20) Figure 20: DMRE13011621 Page 44...
