Product: Universal Generator Bag
Top Line: Practical Systems Inc. (PSI) is introducing the Universal Generator Bag, which is designed to collect swarf from lens generators and edgers.
Close Up: This bag eliminates the need to frequently scoop swarf from coolant tanks. Disposal of the swarf is made easy with a zippered top and cloth handles on the bottom of the bag. These bags are reusable made with a vinyl top and a 400-micron mesh bottom. Includes metal rods built into the bag so it will stand upright in tank.
Vital Stats: The Universal Generator Bag fits onto most generator and edger tanks. It should be used with a coolant tank bag such as PSI’s RB-Sprint bag. The bag is available in a short version, 18” H x 25” W, part #RB-GB1 and a tall version, 25” H x 18” W, part #RB-GB2.
