You're buying pocket spring units from a supplier. You know the margin you're leaving on the table. But you think: "I'm not ready for full automation." This guide shows you how the IF-P180-2 double-wire pocket spring machine and IF-T4 tape edge machine work together to build a complete production line — and how one Vietnamese factory paid it off in 14 months.
Let me guess: you're paying $8-12 per pocket spring unit. You're buying 500-1000 units per week. That's $4,000-12,000 per week leaving your factory. Over a year, that's $208,000-624,000 — just vanishing into your supplier's pocket.
I visited a factory in Vietnam that was buying pocket spring units. They were spending $8,400 per week. When they switched to making their own with the IF-P180-2, their cost dropped to $3,200 per week. That's $5,200 per week in savings. The IF-P180-2 cost $62,000. Payback: 12 weeks.
The IF-P180-2 is a double-wire automatic pocket spring machine. It feeds two wires simultaneously, producing pocket springs at 130-180 springs per minute. Dual-wire input means higher output. It covers a small area (saves workshop space). Full mechanical drive works without air compressor — saves power cost.
Dual-Wire High Speed
Produces pocket springs at 130-180 springs/min. Double-wire input for higher output. Full mechanical drive, works without air compressor. Small footprint saves workshop space.
Once you have your pocket spring unit, you need to finish the mattress. The IF-T4 automatic tape edge machine is the final step. It's totally automatic — the operator doesn't need to walk around the machine. High-speed chain stitch sewing head, spacious workbench.
Fully Automatic Finishing
Totally automatic tape edge machine for mattress panel and soft cushion. Spacious workbench, high speed chain stitch sewing head. Operator doesn't need to walk around the machine.
Let me tell you about the factory in Vietnam. They were buying 800 pocket spring units per week at $10.50 each. Total cost: $8,400/week. After installing the IF-P180-2, their production cost dropped to $3.20 per unit. Total cost: $2,560/week. Weekly savings: $5,840. Annual savings: $303,680.
The IF-P180-2 cost $62,000. Payback period: 10.6 weeks. That's 2.6 months. After that, every spring unit they make is pure profit compared to buying.
How many pocket spring units are you buying per week? At what price? Multiply to get weekly cost. Multiply by 52 for annual cost. This is the number you're leaving on the table.
Contact us. We'll give you a quote for the IF-P180-2, including shipping and training. Compare that one-time cost to your annual spending on pocket spring units. Most factories find the payback is under 6 months.
The IF-P180-2 needs about 8m x 5m of floor space. You also need space for wire uncoiling, spring assembly, and the tape edge machine. Plan for material flow: wire comes in, springs get made, assembled into units, then into mattresses.
Mattres Sewing
Front and back double-heads sewing machine with direct-driven servo motor. Adjustable fabric expanding device and rolling mechanism. Automatically cuts the cloth.
Q: How much space do I need for a pocket spring line?
A: The IF-P180-2 needs about 40 square meters. Add space for wire storage, spring assembly, and tape edge — total about 80-100 square meters.
Q: What power supply do I need?
A: The IF-P180-2 runs on 3-phase 380V. Power consumption is about 8-12 kW. Check your workshop's power capacity before ordering.
Q: How many operators do I need?
A: The IF-P180-2 needs 1-2 operators. The IF-T4 needs 1 operator. Total: 2-3 people for the entire pocket spring mattress production line.
Let's break down the numbers for a medium-sized factory buying 800 pocket spring units per week at $10.50 each:

| Weekly cost | $8,400 | $2,560 | $5,840 |
| Monthly cost | $33,600 | $10,240 | $23,360 |
| Annual cost | $403,200 | $122,880 | $280,320 |
| Machine cost | $0 | $62,000 | Payback: 2.7 months |
The IF-P180-2 is built for industrial use. Daily maintenance takes 15-20 minutes: check wire tension, lubricate guide rails, clean spring collection area. We provide remote support via video call, and technicians for on-site visits. Spare parts ship from our Guangzhou warehouse. Most common parts (wire feed rollers, cutting blades, servo motors) are standard industry components.
"The IF-P180-2 changed our business. Before, we were spending $8,400/week on pocket spring units. Now we make them for $3.20/unit. The machine paid for itself in 10 weeks." — Tran, mattress factory, Vietnam
"Technical support was excellent. They helped us set everything up via video call, and when we needed spare parts, they arrived in 3 days." — James, bedding factory, USA
"We bought the IF-T4 tape edge machine together with the pocket spring line. Now we produce complete mattresses — from wire to finished product. Our margin doubled." — Mohammed, mattress factory, Turkey
Q: How long does it take to install the IF-P180-2?
A: Installation takes 2-3 days. We provide detailed installation videos and remote support. Most factories can install it themselves with our guidance.
Q: What warranty do you provide?
A: 12 months for mechanical parts, 6 months for electronic components. We also provide lifetime technical support.
Q: Can I produce different spring types?
A: Yes! The IF-P180-2 can produce various pocket spring types by changing the coiling settings. You can adjust wire diameter, spring height, and coil count through the control panel.
