There are many questions we get asked on a regular basis, some are shown below which may help you with your machine.
Q1. My machine works well, but the cleaning performance is not the same as when it was new.
A1. To keep cleaning performance at a high level the machine needs regular maintenance. Effective cleaning comes from well-maintained rollers and the use of Teknek adhesive rolls.
Visit Roller Application page to learn how to maintain your cleaning efficiency.
Q2. How long do the Teknek cleaning rollers last?
A2. All Teknek cleaning rollers are guaranteed for 1 year. The warranty is conditional on regular maintenance and the use of Teknek adhesive rolls
Just like tyres on your car, the more you travel the faster the tyres wear.
Roller life is a variable, but generally, well-maintained rollers last 1-2 years, sometimes longer.
Q3. I want to order spares parts for my Teknek machine, how can I do that?
A3. By using Teknek genuine parts your machine will continue to work well for many years.

A4. For all current standard machines, you can find download documents here.

Q5. How often should my Teknek machine be serviced?
A5. Teknek machines are designed to last. However, they do work better if regularly serviced by an Authorised Service Engineer. To arrange a service, contact our Global Support team.
Q6. Is it important to fit the Adhesive roll in a specific way?
A6. Yes, it is very important to fit the adhesive roll correctly.
Teknek has a simple system which easily identifies which way the adhesive roll should be fitted. Find more details here.
To make sure all operators are aware of the adhesive roll replacement process you can download a simple instruction sheet which can be displayed near your machine. Follow the download link here.
Q7. I accidentally fitted the adhesive roll incorrectly. A sheet of adhesive wrapped around my cleaning roller. What should I do?
A7. You may be able to remove the adhesive sheet without damaging the cleaning rollers. Peel the adhesive sheet off very slowly.
If the roller has not been damaged it will need to be cleaned using the Teknek cleaning process. Click here for detailed instructions.
Once you have removed the adhesive sheet, if the roller is damaged then, unfortunately, the roller will need to be replaced. Please order new rollers by contacting the Global Support team.
Q8. Do I have the correct air pressure for my machine to work properly?
A8. The pressure setting for each machine is important and is detailed in the machine manual. Each machine has a pressure regulator which controls the pressure within the machine.
To ensure an adequate supply of air, your supply to the machine should be around 6Bar or 85psi. The air supply should be clean and dry.
