NOTE: If equipment is removed from baseplate during installation, each item should be tagged with an

identification number. In order to ensure proper alignment, equipment must be returned to the original

baseplate.

SITE / FOUNDATION

A mixer should have adequate space for operation,

maintenance, and inspection.

Baseplate mounted mixers are normally grouted on a

concrete foundation, which has been poured on a solid

footing. The foundation must be able to absorb any

vibration and to form a permanent, rigid support for the

mixing unit.

The location and size of the foundation bolts are shown

on the outline assembly drawing provided with the mixer

data package.

Foundation bolts commonly used are sleeve type (Fig. 7)

and J type (Fig. 8). Both designs permit movement for

final bolt adjustment.
