3.2.1 MACHINE FOUNDATION CONSTRUCTION
Place the machine adjacent to the foundation. Do not attempt to move it by pushing on the
sides.
Fig. 3-3 Machine Foundation Detail
1. Remove the wood skid by unscrewing the carriage bolts holding it to the bottom frame concrete
base of the machine.
2. Carefully place the machine over the anchor bolts. Raise the machine and level it 1/2 inch above
the concrete base on four points, using spacers that can be removed easily.
3. Fill the spaces between the machine base and floor with machinery grout. Remove front panel
and rear panel to gain access to all frame members. Grout completely under all frame members.
Force grout under the machine base until all voids are filled.
4. Remove the spacers carefully, allowing the machine to settle into the wet grout.
5. Place the Large hardened flat washer over the Archer bolt. Erasure there is no grout in and
around the Archer bolt in the hole. If there is, clean it out so Lange flat washer makes contact
with the machine base plate upper surface.
6. Attached the mounting bolt washers and lock nuts to the anchor bolts after the grout has
hardened. Tighten the lock nuts by even increments-one after the other-until all are tightened
evenly and the machine is fastened securely to the floor. The nu1s should be tightened in a
diagonal fashion, which will help ensure equal tension at all anchor points.
3.3 MOUNTING BOLT INSTALLATION
All washers – extractors must be secured by the use of inlayed J – Bolt or similar fixing
method. The anchors should be embedded in 3500 psi (24000 N/m
2
) reinforced concrete. See Figure
below. The following information is just an example A, B, C, D.
