Isolated Foundations

BILZ insulating plates are ideally suited for vibration suppression of foundations and baseplates.
The main purpose of the foundation is to stabilize the machine as well as to increase the moment of inertia. The foundation thus positively influences machine vibration by reducing the amplitude of oscillation. It is wrong, however, to assume that any foundation large enough would eliminate all vibration problems. It is important that as much information as possible be supplied regarding the machine to be isolated, this will include machine size and weights, any dynamic features of its operation, location including ground type, condition where optimal performance is required and a vibration analysis of the machine and site conditions. A correct isolation between machine foundation and the surrounding area will result in trouble free operation. As a result of years of experience we have the necessary experience in this field. At your request we can offer all other related services including measuring of vibrations, planning and construction design.
