How to maintain mattress conveyors?

The main maintenance work of mattress conveyor has the following contents: daily inspection, weekly inspection, monthly inspection, quarter inspection, and semi-annual inspection.

Daily inspection of mattress conveyors includes hydraulic systems, spindle lubrication systems, rail lubrication systems, cooling systems, and pneumatic systems. The daily inspection is based on the normal conditions of each system.

Weekly inspection of mattress conveyors includes machine tool parts and spindle lubrication systems, which should be properly inspected weekly to remove iron filings and external debris cleaning.

Monthly inspection of mattress conveyors is mainly to check the power supply and air dryer. The power supply voltage is rated at 180V-220V under normal conditions with 50Hz frequency. The air dryer should be removed once a month, then cleaned and assembled.

Quarterly inspection of mattress conveyors should be carried out mainly from machine, hydraulic system, and spindle lubrication system.

How to clean mattress conveyors?

When cleaning a mattress conveyor, always clean top to bottom and from the center out.

Remove large pieces of debris from the mattress conveyor. Make sure that the sprockets, shafts and supporting features are also cleaned of debris.

Rinse the mattress conveyor with water heated to 52°C and at a pressure of 150psi.

Apply selected detergent to the mattress conveyor at a pressure of 150psi. Let the detergent work for 10 to 15 minutes. But do not let it dry as this can create chemical build up that is harder to remove.

Rinse heavily the mattress conveyor with water. Next inspect it and make sure that debris, detergents, water and other residues have been washed away.

Re-inspect the mattress conveyor. Make sure that all chemical detergent has been removed. Using pH strips will ensure that any basic solution has been removed. Run the mattress conveyor slowly to help it dry and remove pooled water from the surrounding ground.

Run the mattress conveyor again at a slow speed and apply the sanitizer in small concentrations as directed by the manufacturer. Ensure that all parts have been exposed to the sanitizer.
