Do material socks effect yield at all?

right with you…

I don’t particularly like socks, but they do reduce the mess in the booth. they don’t reduce yield, but do reduce loading. by as much as 50% if they don’t fit well.

Boss man ordered some 4000 socks that were both too big, AND too small…

nominal diameter AND hight matched tube, which seems right until you try and pack them them into the tube.

I modified a couple, and proved I could get 40% more into a smaller diameter bag…then I got lucky and discovered that I could use the “sanitize” function on my (new to me) washing machine (built in heating element) to shrink them!!!

the bags could have done with another 2-3" in hight BEFORE I shrunk them. shrinking them still increased throughput.
