A solid foundation is the key to happiness. When our customers ask us about the foundation requirements of the Ingersoll Rand Compressor packages, we encourage them to bolt the equipment to any substantial, relatively level foundation or base.
The foundation bolts must be of sufficient length to project at least 1/2" through the nuts to allow for proper leveling. We also suggest that our customers use MJ #1295, a vibration isolation material between the compressor skid and the foundation. This material is available in 30" X 30' rolls.
Email our parts department for this material. We normally have rolls in stock.
Also, make sure that the unit is positioned so the beltwheel is facing a fresh air source and allow for at least 36 inches between the compressor and any walls or obstruction. This not only helps air circulation but also makes it easier to access the unit for
maintenance. The compressor package needs to be properly leveled and securely bolted to the foundation to avoid any vibration. Go ahead and use shims to level if needed.
