How does mattress conveyor work?

The mattress conveyor ensures that the proper amount of adhesive is used on every single mattress. Not only does this give every mattress on the mattress conveyor the same strong bond, but it also prevents adhesive from being wasted.

What are the parts of mattress conveyor?

There are three main parts of a mattress conveyor, that are, the belt support, the pulley and the drive unit. Each component plays an essential role in the mattress conveyor operation.

Belt support of mattress conveyors is the component that ensures the belt moves smoothly. If the support unit is not firm, the belt sags when workers place a heavy object. The sagging causes the belt not to move smoothly or swiftly. The use of a firm support unit keeps the belt taut and running efficiently.

The pulley system of mattress conveyors is an external component used to control the belt movement. Each unit has at least two pulleys that one operates under power and the other is idle.

The drive unit of mattress conveyors allows the system to move. It contains a counter bearing that keeps the mattress conveyors moving efficiently. It also allows for the belt to move in reverse and manage the repeated adjustments in direction for some systems.

How does mattress conveyor work?

The mattress conveyor is far simpler than it may appear. Mattress foam layers move along a mattress conveyor, passing underneath the first gantry. It is here that the foam is sprayed with a hot melt adhesive.

The mattress foam continues moving onto rollers of a second mattress conveyor. Then, the mattress foam passes under a second gantry that sprays hot melt adhesive across the foam. This allows another layer of foam to be placed on top of the existing mattress foam.

It may sound a little complicated, but it all happens in seconds. The mattress conveyor allows several layers of foam to be quickly assembled, making the mattress assembly line more efficient without the need for manual labor.

Mattress conveyors consist of a belt stretched across two or more pulleys. It forms a closed loop around the pulleys to rotate continually. One pulley drives the belt, moving items from one location to another.

The most common mattress conveyor designs use a rotor to power the drive pulley and belt. The belt remains attached to the rotor through the friction between the two surfaces.

What should be noticed when using mattress conveyor?

After the mattress conveyor is placed, pay attention to fix the moving wheels with special wooden blocks, bricks or stones to prevent the mattress conveyor from moving or slipping during operation.

The mattress conveyor requires no-load starting to reduce the resistance for 5 minutes.

Generally, mattress conveyors should not be started with full load. If it is necessary to start with full load in special circumstances, part of the material on the mattress conveyor should be removed first and then start the machine.

Ordinary rubber mattress conveyor belts are strictly prohibited from contacting with gasoline, diesel oil, oil and other oils or organic solvents to prevent the belt from being corroded and deformed. The mattress conveyor belt should be inspected frequently. The grain or debris adhering to the surface of the belt should be removed in time.
