4-1  Chapter Description and Objectives 
 
It is the intent of this chapter to familiarize the reader with the proper site 
requirements and installation procedures of the SGB blending system. The 
information in this chapter is NOT meant to replace or supersede an established 
local or company implemented procedures. It is meant to enhance them. 
 
4-2  Site Requirements 
 
This section describes site requirements in detail. These requirements are 
broken down into mechanical mounting, electrical connections and pneumatic 
connections. Since the SGB is available in several different mounting 
arrangements, it is necessary for the reader to become familiar with the different 
arrangements. 
 
4-2-1 Mounting Configuration 
 
The SGB System is available in (3) three basic mounting arrangements. 
They are: 
 
•  Machine Mount 
•  Mezzanine Mount 
•  Floor Mount 
 
4-2-1-1 Machine Mount  
 
In a machine mounting application of the SGB unit, there are a 
few items to review before placement and mounting of the 
blending system begins. 
 
First, verify the machine flange dimensions match the SGB 
flange (if the optional pre-drilled holes were ordered). The SGB 
can also be equipped with an optional cast throat section with a 
drain port. This will bolt under the bottom plate of the blender. 
 
Verify that the machine throat is physically capable of 
supporting the SGB blending system with a full load of material 
and vacuum loading equipment installed. 
 
Important!
   While in operation, the SGB applies horizontal and vertical 
pressures to the mounting flange. If there is a question as 
to the mechanical stability of a mounting flange, contact 
Sterling’s Engineering department.
