The key to storing a billiard ball collector is maintaining its structural integrity, protecting it from dust and pressure, and avoiding high-temperature and humid environments to extend its lifespan and ensure smooth operation next time.
Slide Section: Remove the silicone slide from the table or frame, wipe it clean with a soft cloth, and avoid folding or squeezing. It can be gently rolled up (diameter not less than 20cm) and placed in a dedicated storage bag. Prolonged bending can easily lead to material fatigue and cracking.
Metal Frame: Aluminum alloy or steel supports should be disassembled into retractable units and placed in a dry place, away from acidic and alkaline corrosive environments. If the surface has a coating, take care to prevent scratches.
Ball Collection Box/Sinking Area Components: Empty the internal billiard balls, clean the inner wall with a damp cloth, let it dry, and then store it upside down to prevent dust accumulation.
Temperature and Humidity: The storage space should be well-ventilated and dry, with humidity controlled between 40% and 60%. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high-humidity areas such as bathrooms to prevent metal rusting and silicone aging.
Dust Prevention: It is recommended to use a dust cover or original packaging bag to cover the collector, especially for embedded or precision track systems, to prevent dust from clogging the slide interfaces.
Avoid Heavy Pressure: Do not pile heavy objects on the stored ball collector, especially on the slides and connecting parts, to avoid deformation that may affect sealing and smooth operation.
