Frequently Asked Questions
How do I tell an old-style 5009 bin from a new one?
By the bag that came out of it, most reliably. MBM specifies a 75-gallon bag at 42 x 56 inches flat for the old style and a 79-gallon bag at 40 x 58 inches for the current one, so the old bag is wider and shorter. If you have no old bag to measure, send us the serial number from the machine plate and we will check which bin generation it shipped with.
Does this bag fit the 4000SS extra large?
No, despite what this product's title suggests. MBM lists the 4000SS extra-large bin with an 88-gallon bag, 54 x 75 inches flat, under part number AC0901. AC0924 will not seat correctly on that cabinet. We are flagging the mismatch here rather than quietly shipping the wrong item.
Is the 4105 covered by this bag?
Only the cross-cut 4105. MBM pairs the cross-cut version with the 65-gallon AC0924 bag at 52 x 58 inches, and the strip-cut version with the 60-gallon AC0922 bag at 36 x 75 inches. Cut type decides the bag on this model, which catches out sites running both versions side by side.
How many bags come in a case?
MBM publishes the quantity as "1 case" and gives no bag count for AC0924. Ask us before ordering if you need the figure for a purchase order and we will confirm it with the distributor. Given the price per case, it is worth pinning down before you buy.
Do I still need bags if I have the conveyor system?
Generally not. MBM's own description of the modular conveyor belt system for the 5009 says it transports shredded material to an external container and eliminates the need to change shred bags. Sites that run the conveyor typically keep a case of bags only as a fallback for when the conveyor is out of service.
