Gravimetric Batch Blenders w/Mitsubishi Control Chapter 3: Installation 31
Floor Mount (Central Blender)
In a floor mounting application, ensure adequate clearance for all blender operations and
maintenance. The operator and maintenance personnel must have access to parts of the
blender. If necessary, it is the customer’s responsibility to provide adequate, safe work
platforms around the blender to meet state and local safety codes. Using proper lifting
equipment, lift the Slide Gate/Auger blender in place.
Note: The blender must be securely fastened to the floor before operating.
Note: Manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any damages resulting from
improper installation or improper handling during installation.
Make sure that the blender is securely mounted to the floor before installing loading
equipment, loading with material and starting.
Make sure that the blender location is adequately away from high traffic aisles, and that fork
trucks, etc. cannot damage the blender. Ensure that normal day-to-day operations will not
place the blending system at risk of damage.
