Sliding Shoes
The packer guiding system is made of 2 different types of steel: sliding shoes are made of a softer steel
type to wear out before the floor guides.
To keep the packer in good working order and prevent unnecessary down time, replace sliding shoes
and wear pads (see page 56) before extensive wear or damage can be seen on the hopper floor and
walls.
After continuous use over an extended period of time, floor guides may need to be replaced.
