servicing, etc.
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
blender in place.
Make sure that the blender is securely mounted to the floor before installing loading equipment,
loading with material and starting.
The blender location should be an adequate distance from high traffic aisles, fork trucks, etc. that can
damage the blender. Make sure that normal day-to-day operations will not place the blending system
at risk of damage.
