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 procedure detailed below.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Check the tip for excessive wear.
Replace worn tips (see pictures).
