How to Choose A Pocket Spring Machine For Your Mattress Production

The efficiency and quality of your mattress’s production pocket spring machines are primary considerations for both the establishment and upgrade of your production line. Six factors are provided in this guide, which incorporates advanced mattress machinery technologies. 

1. Productivity and Machine Efficiency of Pocket Spring Machines

Different factory sizes come with different requirements and varying levels of productivity. Thus, different supermarkets spring production lines come with different speeds to match the needs: 

Small mattress factories: Cost effective entry level production for smaller factories, the LR-PS-S180/D180 CNC Automatic Pocket Spring Machine allows for speed up to 180 springs per minute. 

Medium operations: The LR-PS-EV280 CNC Automatic Pocket Spring Machine also comes at a rotational speed of 280s/min, making it more affordable than its competitors while still balancing speed and affordability. 

Large manufacturers: LR-PS-UMS/UMD CNC Automatic Pocket Spring Machine with pre-compression. Equipped with a unique high compression ratio, springs provided at high elasticity achieve the same product hardness but at a lower material and transport cost. 

When it comes to custom mattresses, you do not need to worry about the spring heights. With Lianrou Mattress Machinery, your pocket spring machine will easily manage heights of 10-30 cm, along with wire diameters ranging from 1.6-3.0mm. 

2. Durability and Machine Stability of Pocket Spring Machine

The machine durability is directly dependent on the pocket spring machine’s weight, thus making a heavy duty pocket spring coiling machine best suited for stability.

(1) Industrial-grade steel coil forming machine components;

(2) Premium brand motors in the spring machinery;

(3) Reinforced frames for vibration-free operation;

(4) When evaluating pocket spring machine manufacturers, request:

(5) Factory test videos of the spring roll folding machine in operation;

(6) Technical specifications for the coil spring making machine;

(7) Customer cases using the automatic pocket spring making machine;

3. Automation and Smart Features for Pocket Spring Machine

Automatic mattress production systems should offer:

Fully automatic pocket spring production machines and connect with Mattress Manufacturing Equipments, such as Mattress Tape Edge Machine, Pocket Spring Assembly Machine, Mattress Roll Packing Machine, Mattress Compression Machine, Mattress Box Sealing Machine, Mattress Kraft Paper Packing Machine, Mattress Film Packing Machine.

Automatic parameter adjustment for different spring machine CNC settings, such as ±0.1mm precision in wire coiling machine operations, digital memory for spring configurations, remote monitoring for industrial pocket spring coiling machines.

4. Spring Quality and Precision of Pocket Spring Machine

Top-tier pocket spring making machines ensure: Consistent tension (±5% tolerance) in extension spring coil making machine output; Uniform pocket formation in pocket spring winding machines; Compliance with CE standards for mattress spring machines.

5. Material Compatibility of Pocket Spring Machine

Your pocket spring coil forming machine should process: Multiple wire types (high-carbon steel, alloy steel); Various non-woven fabrics (15-50gsm); Special configurations for sofa mattress spring machines.

6. Cost Considerations

When comparing pocket spring coil machine prices, evaluate:

High efficiency pocket spring machines (18-24 month ROI);

Durable pocket spring machines with 10+ year lifespans;

Energy-efficient electric motor coil winding machines;

FAQ：How to choose a pocket spring machine

1. What is a Pocket Spring Machine? 

A pocket spring machine is a specialized mattress manufacturing device designed for producing independent pocket springs, where each spring is individually encased in fabric. These machines can automatically complete the processes of coiling, winding, cutting, and other related operations. 

2. What Factors Should Be Considered When Selecting a Pocket Spring Machine? 

When selecting a pocket spring machine, the following factors should be taken into account: the range of spring diameters and heights; production speed (measured in springs per minute); degree of automation (e.g., CNC numerical control systems, PLC controls); types of fabrics used (e.g., non-woven materials); bonding methods (e.g., ultrasonic welding, hot melt adhesive bonding, sewing); winding accuracy; glue application systems or glue-free systems; and maintenance and after-sales support services. 

3. What Are the Differences Between Hot Melt Adhesive Bonding, Ultrasonic Welding, and Sewing Technologies in Spring Machines? 

Hot melt adhesive bonding involves using glue for heat welding, which may release formaldehyde and could lead to degumming issues over time. Ultrasonic welding uses heat and vibration to bond fabrics together, offering greater durability compared to hot melt adhesive bonding. Sewing employs threads to stitch fabric pockets together, providing the advantage of being easily disassembled for recycling purposes, making it an environmentally friendly choice for mattress production. 

4. How Many Pocket Springs Can Be Produced Per Minute by a High-Speed Pocket Spring Winding Machine? 

LianRou Mattress Machinery offers the fastest pocket spring production machine globally. The LR-PS-EV280 model can produce up to 280 springs per minute. This fully automated pocket spring production machine integrates functions such as spring coil counting, cutting, and gluing. 

5. What Types of Mattresses Are Suitable for Pocket Spring Machines? 

Pocket spring machines are suitable for producing standard pocket spring mattresses, zoned spring mattresses, mini/micro spring mattresses, coiled compression mattresses, hybrid mattresses, and orthopedic mattresses. 

6. Can One Machine Produce Multiple Sizes of Springs? 

Yes, LianRou Mattress Machinery produces advanced pocket spring machines with adjustable settings for spring wire diameter, spring diameter, and spring height, enabling flexible production of various types of spring mattresses. 

7. How Does a Pocket Spring Production Line Operate? 

LianRou Mattress Machinery provides a fully automatic pocket spring production line that minimizes human intervention. It includes the following components: Pocket spring winding machine → Pocket spring assembly machine → Mattress compression and packaging module (optional). 

8. Are There Environmentally Friendly Pocket Spring Machines? 

Yes, some manufacturers offer eco-friendly solutions for pocket spring machines utilizing technologies such as sewing and ultrasonic welding, which comply with environmental regulations in Europe, the United States, and Japan. 

9. How to Maintain a Pocket Spring Machine? 

Daily maintenance tasks include cleaning spring guides and cutters, inspecting the wire feed system, replacing worn parts, ensuring unobstructed glue nozzles (if applicable), and conducting regular program diagnostics (for CNC models). 

10. Where Can I Purchase a Reliable Pocket Spring Machine? 

High-quality pocket spring machines can be purchased from professional manufacturers in China, Germany, Italy, and Turkey. LianRou Mattress Machinery is one of the world's leading manufacturers of pocket spring production machines, offering the widest range of models and serving over 2,000 global partners as a source factory in China.
