ÈHANDLING AND SETTING PROCEDURES FOR
RIGID MOUNT 30015 & 30022 WASHER-EXTRACTORS
ÊHandling 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: 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.
ÊSite Requirements
ËSpace 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 occa-
sionally possible to reduce the overall dimensions by removing piping or other special modifications. Con-
sult Milnor
®
for additional information.
2. Sufficient clearance must be provided for normal operation and maintenance procedures.
ËOperational 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.).
ËFoundation Requirements
—The machine must be anchored in accordance with the installation instruc-
tions. The floor and/or all other support components must have sufficient strength (and rigidity with due considera-
tion 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 Con-
tents) for more information.
ÊAnchoring Requirements
Machines must be securely anchored to an adequate foundation. Anchor bolt locations and foundation speci-
fications are provided on the dimensional drawing (see Table of Contents). However, never install anchor bolts
firmly in the foundation using only the dimensional drawing or a template. Approximate anchor bolt locations
may be determined from a foundation template (standard equipment on some machines, optional on others). Rec-
ommended anchor bolt installation (see dimensional drawing) calls for each anchor bolt to be set in a pipe sleeve.
The foundation template or dimensional drawing will only locate foundation bolts accurately enough so that the play
of the bolt within the pipe sleeve permits the machine to fit anchor bolts. If another bolt installation procedure is
used, do not install the bolts until the machine is on site and bolt locations can be determined. Consult Milnor
®
if any obstruction prevents the installation of any anchor bolt. Anchor bolts cannot be indiscriminately omitted.
STRIKE AND MACHINE DAMAGE HAZARDS—A machine can “rip” away from
position on foundation if the machine is not anchored and grouted in strict ac-
cordance with the dimensional drawing and setting instructions provided in
this manual. Damage resulting from improper installation is not covered by
warranty.
☞ Strictly follow setting instructions and dimensional drawing guidelines when anchoring
and setting this machine.
☞ Properly install anchor bolts at ALL anchor bolt holes on the machine.
