Spring Manufacturing Process

As the core supporting component of soft home furnishings such as mattresses and sofas, pocket springs have become a standard component of high-end soft home furniture thanks to their core advantages including independent support, noise insulation, interference resistance and perfect fitting to human body curves. The entire production process relies on automatic precision equipment, covering rigorous procedures from raw material selection, spring forming, heat treatment, non-woven fabric pocket packaging to spring mattress assembly. Process parameters are strictly controlled at every step to lay a solid foundation for product quality. Below is a detailed explanation of the complete manufacturing process.

1. Raw Material Selection & Quality Inspection

The first barrier of quality controlWe prioritize high-carbon manganese steel wire as raw material at the production source. This material features excellent elasticity, toughness and resilience, and resists deformation and collapse after long-term use, making it the core material for premium pocket springs.Upon incoming inspection, all steel wire undergoes comprehensive quality testing. Professional equipment is adopted to examine wire diameter, tensile strength, yield strength, rust resistance and other indicators. Substandard materials are eliminated to ensure every coil of steel wire meets production standards and eliminate potential quality risks from the source.

2. Precision Spring Coiling & Forming

Adopting fully automatic CNC spring coiling machines, qualified steel wire is accurately fed into equipment stations. Pre-set computerized parameters including coil diameter, coil count, height and pitch enable automatic spring coiling formation.During coiling, the equipment maintains precise speed control and positioning throughout the process, ensuring uniform size, even spiral structure of each spring, with no irregular coils, loose coils or wire breakage. Formed springs are standard cylindrical or hourglass-shaped with stable supporting structure, laying a solid foundation for subsequent packaging.

3. Heat Treatment & Setting

Enhancing elasticity and durabilityCoiled springs are delivered into a continuous heat treatment furnace for dual processes of high-temperature quenching and tempering.By precisely controlling heating temperature, heat preservation duration and cooling rate, internal stress generated during wire coiling is eliminated, and internal crystal structure of steel is optimized. This greatly improves the elastic limit, fatigue strength and deformation resistance of springs. After heat treatment, springs achieve longer-lasting resilience, remain firm without fatigue under long-term pressure, and maintain stable performance even after tens of thousands of repeated compressions.

4. Surface Anti-rust Treatment

To extend service life and prevent corrosion over long-term use, electrostatic powder coating or electrophoretic anti-rust treatment is applied to heat-treated springs.A dense anti-corrosion coating is evenly formed with strong adhesion, oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. It isolates air and moisture without compromising spring elasticity, comprehensively prolonging service life and adapting to long-term household application scenarios.

5. Independent Pocket Packaging

Precise control of core technology

Pocket Material PreparationHigh-toughness, high-air permeability and tear-resistant non-woven fabric or woven cotton fabric is selected as pocket material. With qualified tensile strength and good durability, the fabric adapts to spring expansion and contraction, and features eco-friendly and odorless properties. Pocket Forming & Tension ControlUpper and lower fabric layers are synchronously tensioned by the fabric pulling mechanism. Real-time tension monitoring and dynamic adjustment are realized via tension sensors, maintaining a stable compression ratio of 70%-80% during spring insertion. This prevents spring damage caused by excessive compression or displacement due to insufficient compression. Spring Insertion & PackagingEach single spring is precisely compressed and automatically inserted into formed pockets. Independent pockets are separated by ultrasonic welding or precise sewing at preset intervals to seal each spring individually.The pocket size is strictly controlled at 130%-200% of the maximum spring diameter, ensuring smooth spring placement while firmly fixing springs to prevent shifting. Thus each spring expands and contracts independently without mutual interference. Continuous Forming & CuttingAutomatic equipment completes continuous packaging of multiple springs to form long pocket spring strings, which are then accurately cut to standard sizes. Problems including rough edges, incomplete sealing and false welding are avoided to guarantee firm pocket sealing.

6. Inspection & Screening of Spring Strings

Comprehensive full inspection is conducted on cut pocket spring strings. We verify pocket sealing, spring position, dimensional accuracy and elastic performance one by one. Defective products including damaged packaging, deformed springs and substandard elasticity are rejected to ensure all spring strings meet technical specifications as qualified parts for subsequent mattress assembly.

7. Automatic Mattress Spring Assembly

According to dimensional specifications of mattresses and sofas, multiple pocket spring strings are arranged in order. Eco-friendly hot-melt adhesive is precisely applied to gaps between spring strings via a high-precision glue spraying system, avoiding spring expansion areas to ensure firm bonding without affecting elasticity.Multiple rows of spring strings are then integrally bonded through hot pressing to form a complete pocket spring mattress unit with flat overall structure, uniform stress distribution and stable supporting performance.

8. Final Inspection & Warehousing of Finished Spring Units

Final quality inspection is carried out on assembled spring mattress units, covering overall size, flatness, elasticity, noise reduction performance, bonding strength and environmental protection indicators to ensure no peculiar smell and no harmful substance emission.Qualified finished products are packed in standard specifications and stored in warehouse with overall moistureproof and dustproof protection, ensuring consistent quality of ex-factory products.

From a single steel wire to high-quality pocket springs, we adhere to the concept of refined, standardized and automated production throughout the process. We strictly follow technical specifications for every procedure and pursue perfection in every detail. We ultimately manufacture core supporting components with strong support, silent comfort, great durability and environmental protection, empowering quality upgrading of high-end soft home furnishings.
