Polyshield® Foundation / Baseplate System

The Polyshield® polymer concrete baseplate and foundation system is the superior solution for costeffective, high-performance pump installations.

This single, complete unit replaces the traditional baseplate and concrete foundation for pump-driver sets.

Polyshield® Standard Features  Alloy inserts or optional alloy pads in 316 stainless steel, Alloy 20, Hastelloy C

 316 stainless steel Polyadjust system for easy alignment

 Heights from 14 in. (356 mm)  Choice of three polymer materials for full range of process fluids and environments

 One-piece removable polymer motor block  Self-venting design with grout hole and plug  Standard fill 200 bar (3000 psi) concrete  CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) drain connection

Damage to concrete foundations for pumps, compressors and other rotating or vibrating equipment presents special challenges to plant maintenance personnel. Repairs to conventional concrete foundations are costly, laborintensive and time-consuming. Moreover, acid-proofing foundations for corrosive pumps is difficult and prone to repeat failure.

The Polyshield® ANSI combination is the preferred pump foundation solution that takes advantage of the unique properties of polymer concrete. As a chemical-resistant foundation system that is easily put into place, then groutfilled, the Polyshield® system can be completely installed and operable in less than two days.

Compare that to the time-consuming, laborintensive practice of building a form, installing rebar, and pouring concrete. Once installed, your Polyshield® system will provide excellent corrosion resistance over the long term, as well as vibration damping and resistance to twisting and diaphragming.

Polyshield® Improves Equipment Reliability Life cycle costs for pumps and other equipment decrease significantly due to improved unit performance resulting from Polyshield®’s: High vibration damping characteristics

 Longer seal, bearing, and coupling life  Longer Mean Time Between Planned Maintenance (MTBPM) Low maintenance requirements  No paint peeling

 No baseplate or foundation deterioration

Vibration dampening record pump P-100 performance.
