About the Forces Transmitted by Milnor®
Washer-extractors
A
pp
licabilit
y
...........................WU
U
During washing and extracting, all washer-extractors transmit both static and dynamic
(cyclic) forces to the floor, foundation, or any other supporting structure. During washing, the
impact of the goods as they drop imparts forces which are quite difficult to quantify. Size for size,
both rigid and flexibly-mounted machines transmit approximately the same forces during
washing. During extracting, rigid machines transmit forces up to 30 times greater than equivalent
flexibly-mounted models. The actual magnitude of these forces vary according to several factors:
• machine size,
• final extraction speed,
• amount, condition, and type of goods being processed,
• the liquor level and chemical conditions in the bath preceding extraction, and
• other miscellaneous factors.
Estimates of the maximum force normally encountered are available for each Milnor®model
and size upon request. Floor or foundation sizes shown on any Milnor®document are only for
on-grade situations based only on previous experience without implying any warranty, obligation,
or responsibility on our part.
1. Rigid Machines
Size for size, rigid washer-extractors naturally require a stronger, more rigid floor,
foundation, or other supporting structure than flexibly-mounted models. If the supporting soil
under the slab is itself strong and rigid enough and has not subsided to leave the floor slab
suspended without support, on grade installations can often be made directly to an existing floor
slab if it has enough strength and rigidity to safely withstand our published forces without
transmitting undue vibration. If the subsoil has subsided, or if the floor slab itself has insufficient
strength and rigidity, a deeper foundation, poured as to become monolithic with the floor slab,
may be required. Support pilings may even be required if the subsoil itself is “springy” (i.e., if its
resonant frequency is near the operating speed of the machine). Above-grade installations of rigid
machines also require a sufficiently strong and rigid floor or other supporting structure as
described below.
2. Flexibly-mounted Machines
Size for size, flexibly-mounted machines generally do not require as strong a floor,
foundation, or other supporting structure as do rigid machines. However, a floor or other
supporting structure having sufficient strength and rigidity, as described in section 3, is
nonetheless vitally important for these models as well.
3. How Strong and Rigid?
Many building codes in the U.S.A. specify that laundry floors must have a minimum live
load capacity of 150 pounds per square foot (732 kilograms per square meter). However, even
compliance with this or any other standard does not necessarily guarantee sufficient rigidity. In
any event, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/user to assure that the floor and/or any other
supporting structure exceeds not only all applicable building codes, but also that the floor and/or
any other supporting structure for each washer-extractor or group of washer-extractors actually
7

has sufficient strength and rigidity, plus a reasonable factor of safety for both, to support the
weight of all the fully loaded machine(s) including the weight of the water and goods, and
including the published 360º rotating sinusoidal RMS forces that are transmitted by the
machine(s). Moreover, the floor, foundation, or other supporting structure must have sufficient
rigidity (i.e., a natural or resonant frequency many times greater than the machine speed with a
reasonable factor of safety); otherwise, the mentioned 360º rotating sinusoidal RMS forces can be
multiplied and magnified many times. It is especially important to consider all potential vibration
problems that might occur due to all possible combinations of forcing frequencies (rotating
speeds) of the machine(s) compared to the natural frequencies of the floor and/or any other
supporting structure(s). A qualified soil and/or structural engineer must be engaged for this
purpose.

Figure 1 above is intended to depict both on-grade and above-grade installations and is
equally applicable to flexibly-mounted washer-extractors, as well as to rigid models installed
either directly on a floor slab or on a foundation poured integrally with the slab. Current machine
data is available from Milnor®upon request. All data is subject to change without notice and may
have changed since last printed. It is the sole responsibility of every potential owner to obtain
written confirmation that any data furnished by Milnor®applies for the model(s) and serial
number(s) of the specific machines.

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 isdamaged 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 dimensionaldrawing will only locate foundation boltsaccurately 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.

skids. Observing all precautions, lift the machine off its
skids and lower the machine onto temporary blockings as
shown in FIGURE 1. Install anchor bolts, taking care to
align the bolts with the base plates to avoid bolt thread
damage.
2. Determine that the minimum clearance between each
base plate and floor surface is as specified (see dimen-
sional drawings). Shim the machine at temporary block-
ings to level the machine from left to right and front to
back. Use a carpenter’s level along the right and left side
of the base to determine if the machine is level from front
to back. Place a level laterally across the base plates to de-
termine if the machine is level from right to left.
NOTE: Do not pull on conduit when moving the machine.
Tampering with the conduit may require adjustment of the
door switch.
MACHINE DAMAGE AND MALFUNCTION HAZARDS—Tightening anchor bolt fasteners
onto spacers (without grout or with improperly applied grout) twists the machine frame and
causes cylinder misalignment.
☞Never tighten anchor bolt fasteners before grouting.
☞Grout must displace total clearance between base plate and existing foundation floor.
Voids must not exist!
3. After determining the final position of the machine, apply grout between the existing foundation floor and
base plates, while observing the following considerations:
•All machines are designed to be grouted under the full area of all base plates. Grout prevents the anchor
bolts from distorting the frame when the fasteners are tightened. Total area under each base plate must be
completely filled with grout (see dimensional drawings). Voids under base plates can magnify vibration,
causing unsatisfactory operation. Use only industrial strength non-shrinking grout.
•If the grout (after mixing) is of proper consistency, pack or trowel it by hand.
•If the grout (after mixing) is too thin (causing it to flow from under the base pads), install temporary
cardboard framing around the pads to retain the grout until it cures.
4. After the grout has completely cured, raise the machine sufficiently to remove all temporary blocking and
shims. Be careful to avoid disturbing or damaging grout.
5. Tighten all foundation fasteners until they contact the top of the base plate. Center bolt holes are located in-
side rear console. Install center hold down bolts properly to ensure successful operation.
6. Tighten all fasteners evenly, using only one-quarter turn on each fastener before moving to the next one.
While tightening, frequently skip from front to back and right to left to insure uniform tension. After tighten-
ing all fasteners, check each fastener at least twice.
