Anchoring the Dryer

Mount the Dryer on a 6'' [15.24 cm] thick reinforced concrete slab.

Position and level the Dryer Basket Assembly to match load and unload conveyors, using two (2) 8 x 8 x 16'' [20.32 x 20.32 x 40.64 cm] concrete blocks at 16'' [406] elevation, spaced at approximately 48'' [1.22 m] center-to-center along the side frames. Place a reinforcing rod in each core and fill the cores with concrete. To provide crosswind stability, place blocks at the end of the base frame and place alternate sets of blocks at a 90-degree angle from the Dryer centerline. Anchor the Dryer Basket to steel anchors in the concrete pad by use of turnbuckles at or near each corner, or other suitable means.

Leg Kit Assembly

Brock offers optional Dryer Legs. Start at the rear end of the Dryer and locate a Leg set every 49'' [1 245 mm]. There must be a Leg also located in the four corners of the Fan Base where it attaches to the Basket.

A Leg Kit Assembly (4128-2----; number changes with model and Leg height desired) is available for SQ8 through SQ40 Dryers. Installation shown here is the same for all sizes.

Before installing the Leg Kit, remove the Bolt and Nut at both rear corners as shown in Item Number 7.

Leg attachment: Position each Leg Weldment (Item 1) with the flat side facing out, and the mounting tabs facing inward. The FRONT pair of Legs are set in the position shown (Item 9, Figure 30) under the Fan (all installations). The REAR pair of Legs is always in the position shown (Item 10) at 2.5'' [6.4 cm] from the back end of the Frame. Remaining Legs are set 49'' [124.5 cm] on centers from the rear.

Use 1/2 x 1 1/4'' Carriage Bolts (Item 6) and existing 1/2'' Whizlock Nuts to secure the Legs to the Dryer support frame.
