Foundation for Horizontal Wood Grinders
Foundation for Horizontal Wood Grinders
(OP)
Hi All,
I m working on design of foundation for horizontal wood grinders. have anyone use that rule of thumb for machine foundation design that (mass of foundation should be 3 times mass of machine).
machine weight 94000 lbs
any reference would be great.
thank you

based of manufacturer drawing the plates are pre-drilled to be anchor to foundation.

Here is an independent outline of important criteria: Foundations For Vibrating Machines.
Note that the concept for a block foundation is to make the block rigid. This means requirements have to be taken as guidelines, not a "recipe" for a design.
For example, if the footprint of the machine is "large", a foundation that is "3 times mass of machine" may be too "thin" for rigidity... foundation may have to be "thicker" to make it rigid (making it heavier).

the grinders will be anchor in four spot on 2'x2' plates at area 12'x10'
i was thinking about mat( 14'x12') under footing instead of big block.
