Baseplates and Foundation Systems
A pump is only as reliable as its foundation. Baseplates and foundation systems hold the pump and motor in alignment, absorb vibration and spread the load so bearings, seals and couplings last longer.
Baseplate Options
- Fabricated steel baseplates – standard for ANSI and process pumps
- Polymer concrete bases – corrosion-resistant and vibration-damping
- Pre-grouted baseplates – faster, more reliable installation
- Stilt and spring mounts – vibration isolation for skids
- Drip-rim and drain designs – contain leaks
Installation Best Practices
Proper leveling and grouting stop baseplate distortion and misalignment. After installation, laser-align the pump and motor, and recheck after piping is connected. Corrosive areas benefit from polymer or coated bases.
