Laying the unit foundation
When mounting a standard unit for stationary purposes, there are three options as described
in the following:
a.
Mounting directly on the foundation
b.
Mass damping between unit and building
c.
Damping using vibration dampers
7.21
Mounting directly on the foundation
When installing a unit directly on a concrete foundation, the foundation should be cast in ac-
cordance with the foundation drawings. In principle, the foundation is designed as shown in
Fig. 76.
Fig. 76: Foundation sketch
When the foundation has been cast with the holes set out (see foundation drawing) and has
hardened, the unit is positioned on wooden beams in a flush position. Adjust the height of the
beams so that the foundation plate is slightly recessed into the foundation, see Fig. 76.
To make sure that the foundation plates are kept close to the base frame during the casting
process, secure the foundation plates to the base frame by means of steel wire.
The concrete used for the foundation bolts must be dry, i.e. it must have a low water content.
Stamp down the concrete around the bolts and the foundation plate.
It is important that the concrete has a low water content as this prevents the hardening con-
crete from shrinking.
10-14 days
should pass before tightening the foundation bolts. Remove the steel wire and the
wooden beams beforehand and check that there is no air space between the foot plate of the
base frame and the foundation plate. Otherwise, shims must be inserted between the plates
before tightening them.
As shown in Fig. 76 the foundation has been cast as part of the machine floor and as indicated
it is 100 mm above the floor surface.
With this type of foundation, vibrations can be transferred from the unit to the building. Read
