Moving and Leveling the Granulator
MOVE THE GRANULATOR TO ITS WORK SITE
If lifting the machine is necessary, use appropriately rated lifting equipment. Always lift the unit
from beneath the base plate.
The machine weights for the A T500 Series Granulators are as follows: ST5070 10000 pounds
ST5090 12500 pounds
ST50120 16000 pounds
ALLOW ADEQUATE WORK SPACE
Adequate clearance must be maintained so that all areas of the granulator are accessible and
unobstructed for servicing, maintaining, or operating the equipment. Space must be allowed for
removing guards and screens.
Allow 3 feet (915 mm), 4 feet (1220 mm), and 4.5 feet (1321 mm) on the front and back of the
machine for access; models ST5070, ST5090, ST50120 respectively.
LEVEL THE GRANULATOR
Once the granulator is at its final installation site, ensure that the machine is on a level surface and
resting firmly on its base plate. If necessary, use shims to level it.
It can be mounted on isolation pads or it can be lagged to the floor through holes provided in the
base plate.
TURN OFF AND LOCKOUT the power per OSHA 1910.147 OR ANSI Z244.1-1982
(Lockout/Tag-out of Energy Sources).
If it is not possible to lock out the power, have an electrician remove the fuses. Make sure the
rotor has come to a complete stop.
