    Can anyone tell me if there is a recommended thickness of concrete to have to place a press like this on? I know when we built our place we had to have thicker pads where our sheetfed presses are. Thanks

    I am not sure of the weight. Very new at looking into something like this on a web press.

    Up to 8 colors and running 1000 fpm, should be safe with 4-5 inches.

    Dear sir:
    Hi i hope you are well
    by strong experience by over 44 years ago as professional electrical and electronic engineer P.E
    traveling by over 5 continents NOW retired, i can tell you the foundation is weak by 4-5 inches.
    You must need almost
    36" will be safe, 8 colors has a LOT of force applying to the ground,THIS is made with mathematical formula, include the vibration ,support
    for Good register and avoid fracture to the gears, mechanism by cinematic Movement of the machine.
    The foundation will be make WITH steel and concrete very well

    I have been selling Didde presses since 1975 and have had them installed in some of the most unusual circumstances including on a ship and in a water filled room {floating}. It is a give that rebar would be used. Any contractor would know that but 4-5" has never been an issue unless there are extenuating circumstances. Best suggestion would be to have a qualified structural engineer inspect prior to laying concrete. additionally, the Didde press is designed with a v-shaped substructure {base} this drives the energy along the length of the press and distributes force proportionally so that it is not concentrated on any specific component.
