4-2-1-2 Mezzanine Mount
In a mezzanine mount application, review the following items
before installation begins. First, verify the OS/OA mounting
locations match the mezzanine supports. Verify that the
mezzanine is capable of supporting the blender with a full load
of material and vacuum loading equipment installed.
Important!
While in operation, the OS/OA applies horizontal and
vertical pressures to the mounting flange. If there is a
question as to the mechanical stability of a mounting
flange, contact HydReclaim’s Mechanical Engineering
department.
Ensure that the gravity feed tube is installed in a vertical
position, so that the materials will gravity flow to the extruder
hopper. Use aluminum tubing or smooth wall flex hose.

If possible, use rigid tubing. Some flex hose will tend to sag and
generate static that could cause de-mixing between the blender
and the extruder.
Make sure that adequate space is around the blender (36”
recommended) to allow proper cleaning, servicing, etc.
