DEKKER Vacuum Technologies, Inc. – Vmax/July 2016 9Systems 50 HP and larger should also be grouted into position per local codes. The foundation should beconstructed to allow for ¾ to 1-½ inch of grout. The baseplate is set on shims and the grout is pouredbetween the foundation and the baseplate. To have the required body to support the baseplate, groutshould be at least ¾ inch thick.The number and location of shims will be determined by the design of the baseplate. Firm support shouldbe provided at points where weight will be concentrated at the anchor bolt locations. Use enough, andlarge enough shims to provide rigid support. Baseplates are usually designed with openings to allow pouringgrout. When the baseplate has been shimmed and leveled and the anchor bolts have been snugly tightened,a dam is constructed around the foundation to contain the grout. The dam level should be at least ½ inchabove the top surface of the shims. Grout should be poured inside and around the outside of the baseplateand leveled. Allow the grout to dry for a minimum of 48 hours before tightening the anchor bolts.Please note that the pump/motor coupling and V-belt units will need to be realignedprior to start-up, with the exception of monoblock units.VentilationLocate the vacuum system in an area with sufficient airflow and accessibility. To prevent excessive ambienttemperature rise it is imperative to provide adequate ventilation. Cooling is an important aspect of reliableequipment operation and it is therefore important to install the unit in a reasonably cool area where thetemperature does not exceed 104°F (40°C). For higher ambient temperatures contact the factory.For water-cooled vacuum systems it is necessary to check cooling water supply. A proper, consistentwater flow must be maintained for adequate cooling.Normal system operating temperature is between 140° - 185° F. Minimum oil temperature should not bebelow 45°F.
