Installation
2/8
1.
The foundation must be poured on a well prepared solid ground.
2.
A mixture of good quality cement and coarse aggregate is suitable in most cases,
but, where applicable, the chemistry of the soil and the operating environment may
impose additional requirements. Reinforcement bars may also be necessary
depending on application.
3.
The total foundation mass and its related support structures should be
at least
five
times the total weight of the rotating assembly. The weight of the rotating assembly
– excluding the rotating parts of the motor – is roughly ¼ of the weight of the bare
shaft pump. See section 11.3 for the bareshaft assembly weight.
4.
Foundation depth (C
min
) should be at least 125% of the anchor hole depth (B
min
).
5.
For maximum strength, anchor fixings should be positioned more that 12 times the
anchor hole diameter (ØD) from the edge of the concrete slab (Ed).
6.
The concrete slab should be level to within 12.5 mm in 3000 mm.
7.
If the installation is in close vicinity of other moving machinery, then necessary
precautions should be taken to prevent cross-talk.

Installation tools and equipment
Apart from suitable lifting equipment, a standard fitter's tool kit together with suitably-sized
hexagon key wrenches and torque wrenches are normally sufficient to install the pump.
See Toolkit, sub-section 10.6.
Metso Minerals can supply all recommended fixtures and tools at additional cost.
