Shim installation
Thread Content
When installing chemical industry pumps, the grouting method is required for installation. Could someone please provide a detailed explanation of the methods and steps involved in this grouting process? Thank you very much
Set up a mold, pour in the grouting material, and when it’s about to set, place shims on top of it – that’s it
It is necessary to find someone with the right skills; moreover, when applying pressure, if the area of the shims is large, air pockets can form in the middle. After solidification, there will be empty spaces in that area, so it is important to control the timing and method of applying pressure properly
How do I control this? How to manage time? How to observe? Please explain in detail
1. Initial alignment and leveling using temporary shims. 2. Adjusting the foot bolts to ensure that the permanent shim set is in close contact with the bottom surface of the equipment. 3. Grouting the holes for the foot bolts; once the concrete has reached 75% of its strength, insert the shims beneath the grout layer, with a thickness of 30–50 mm for this layer. 4. Once the grout layer has reached 75% of its strength, remove the temporary shims and carry out the final alignment and leveling
