Vibration Isolation Products: Isolated Foundations

Vibration Isolation Materials- Isolated Foundation

FIT – Farrat Isolation Techniques – a division of
Farrat – specialises in shock and vibration isolation
systems of structures and machine foundations.
Many machines can be successfully installed on
vibration isolation mounts directly on normal
factory floors.

Certain machines or applications need concrete
foundations for various reasons:

To increase machine stiffness and maintain accurate alignment during load changes.

• To increase inertia mass of machine in order to reduce self-generated machine vibration.
• To lower centre of gravity of a top heavy machine or to stabilise an offset mass.To spread static and dynamic loadings over a greater ground area.
• To enable elastic vibration isolators to be used where low frequency vibration needs isolating

Shock and vibration isolation of foundations produces the optimum conditions for trouble free machine operation with minimal disturbances to or from surroundings.

Selection of the most effective foundation isolation system depends on various factors including machine, vibration, shock and site
conditions. FIT can advise on the most cost effective solutions and submit detailed proposals on the most suitable vibration isolation
system.
