Handling and Setting Procedures for Rigid Mount Washer-
Extractors
1.
Handling Precautions
1. Remove the protective coverings (leaving the machine on shipping skids) and carefully
examine for possible shipping damage. If the machine is damaged, notify the
transportation company immediately.
Note 1: Once the machine is given to the carrier for delivery, it is the sole responsibility of the carrier
to ensure that no damage occurs during transit. In addition to readily apparent damage, carriers are
liable for concealed damage. Do not hesitate to file a claim with the carrier if the machine is
damaged in any way during shipment. Milnor® will be glad to assist you in filing your claim, but is
not responsible for any shipping damage to the machine once it has been delivered to the carrier in
good condition.
2. Consult Milnor® for instructions if crane lifting is required.
3. Use skids with the forklift. If possible, leave the machine on the shipping skids until it is
about to be placed in its final position. Once the skids are removed, take care in placing forks
under the machine. Do not allow the forks to come in contact with valves, piping, motors,
etc., located under the machine.
4. Never push, pull, or exert pressure on any components that protrude from the machine frame
(shell front, door, supply injector, electric boxes, controls, belt guard, conduits, inlet piping,
etc.).
5. Ensure that the shell door is closed and secured.

Site Requirements
2.1.
Space Requirements
1. All openings and corridors through which equipment must pass during installation must be
large enough to accommodate the width and the height of the machine (as shown on the
dimensional drawings). It is occasionally possible to reduce the overall dimensions by
removing piping or other special modifications. Consult Milnor® for additional information.
2. Sufficient clearance must be provided for normal operation and maintenance procedures.
2.2.
Operational Requirements
1. Allow sufficient ventilation for heat and vapors of normal operation to dissipate.
2. Provide easy access to controls. Operators must be able to reach and view all status lights,
machine controls, and any additional controls associated with the machine (e.g., electrical
power connections, water and steam shut-offs, etc.).
2.3.
Foundation Requirements
—The machine must be anchored in accordance with the
installation instructions. The floor and/or all other support components must have sufficient
strength (and rigidity with due consideration for the natural or resonant frequency thereof) to
withstand the fully loaded weight of the machine, including the wet goods and any repeated
sinusoidal (rotating) forces generated during its operation. Determining the suitability of floors,
foundations, and other supporting structures normally requires analysis by a qualified structural
engineer. See “ABOUT THE FORCES TRANSMITTED BY MILNOR® WASHER-
EXTRACTORS” (See Table of Contents) for more information.
