Machine Foundation
A proper foundation is absolutely necessary for UW
2 speed washer-extractors because of the high extract
speed and the G-forces exerted.
Do not mount on wooden floors, above ground level,
or over basements. Installation must be “slab on
grade” or equal.
Thoroughness of detail must be stressed with all
foundation work to ensure a stable unit installation,
eliminating possibilities of excessive vibration during
extract.
The washer-extractor must be anchored to a smooth
level surface so that the entire base of the machine is
supported and rests on the mounting surface. (Do not
support the washer-extractor on only four points.)
A concrete base designed to elevate the washer-
extractor to a comfortable and more accessible height
for loading and unloading laundry may be used. Care
must be exercised in the design of such a base due to
the force exerted by the machine during extract. This
base must be adequately tied in to the existing floor
with rebar.
Static and dynamic loads on the floor or foundation are
shown in Table 3. This table can be used as a reference
when designing floors and foundations.
Table 3
Ensure that the machine is installed on a
level floor of sufficient strength and that
the recommended clearances for
inspection and maintenance are provided.
Never allow the inspection and
maintenance space to be blocked.
