About This Sole Folding Machinery
Our sole folding machinery is applicable for decorative folding of the outsole of genuine leather, synthetic material and artificial sole leather. It folds the outsole periphery in a certain shape and angle to get a special visual effect. This decorative edge adds a premium look to the shoe and differentiates the product on the shelf.
Folding length and outline may be changed by using different idler wheel. This means one machine covers a wide range of decorative profiles without requiring a separate unit for each shoe style. Operators change the idler wheel as needed, and the machine is ready for the next profile. This keeps changeover time low and gives factories flexibility across different shoe designs on the same floor.
The machine runs on AC 380V / 50Hz with a total power of 0.67kW and requires a compressed air supply of 0.5MPa. It processes up to 3,000 pairs per shift. Its compact footprint of 0.8 × 0.5 × 1.5m fits into existing production layouts without major changes, and the 275kg net weight allows placement close to the work station without special foundation work.
