Check the Bag Suspender 

The bag suspender should be checked every three to six months or if fiber values are higher than normal or 
inconsistent. To check the Bag Suspender, follow the steps below.

 

 

1.

 

Verify that you are using the 

NEW

 version of the Bag 

Suspender Trays. 

The NEW version of the trays has 9 holes in groups of 3 
as shown in the picture to the right.  

 

 

   

 

                 NEW                                     

OLD

 

 

You CANNOT use the new and old bag suspender trays together. 

 

2.

 

Check the trays for melting.

 

 

The  pictures  shown  are  examples  of  extreme  cases. 
However,  for  proper  operation  you  must  replace  trays 
that show signs of melting or wear. 

 

 

3.

 

Check that the bottom tray is flat.  

If  the  bottom  tray  is  concave  (see  picture)  the  bag 
suspender will catch in the vessel and melt.
