Frequently Asked Questions
How do I tell if my FA 400 is a double bin machine?
Open the collection cabinet. A double-bin FA 400 has two narrow containers side by side beneath the cutting head; a single-bin machine has one wide container. Double-bin machines take this 92-gallon bag at 23 x 18 x 60 inches, and you will use two bags at a time. Single-bin machines take part 3310000007 at 36 x 30 x 53 inches.
Do I need two bags per bin change?
Yes, on a double-bin setup both containers are lined, so a full changeover uses two bags. Worth remembering when estimating how long a 50-bag roll will last, because your effective bag count is half what the pack quantity suggests.
How many bags come on a roll?
Fifty per roll. HSM does not offer a smaller pack for this part number.
Is this the same as HSM2318?
Yes. HSM2318 is HSM of America's catalogue number for the article HSM lists as 3310000011. Both are the clear 92-gallon bag measuring 23 x 18 x 60 inches, supplied 50 to a roll for the FA 400 double bin setup.
Can I run a double-bin machine with one bag instead?
No. Each container needs its own liner, and the shredder discharges into both. Leaving one bin unlined means shredded paper goes straight into the bare container and has to be shovelled out, which defeats the purpose of the collection system.
