6.1 General
Refer to sub-section 1.2 for handling instructions.
6.2 Foundation requirements
Ideally, the pump and its drive should be mounted on a common bedplate which is fixed to
a level foundation of adequate strength. All bedplates supplied by Metso Minerals
incorporate holding-down bolt holes. It is recommended that the pump is installed in such
a way that maintenance and adjustments can be carried out easily. It is essential that the
pump is not subjected to flooding.
A foundation must provide a rigid and durable support, while absorbing shock loads and
vibrations to and from the machine. Many criteria influence its design, its construction
materials and its preparation: vibration and loading characteristics, operating environment
and effect of nearby machinery are some. Each installation is, therefore, a special case
needing careful examination of its particular requirements. The following are general
guidelines for preparing a foundation for Metso Slurry Pumps –refer to Figure 6.2-1 for
details.
