Semi-Automatic Snap Fastening Machine

Semi-Automatic Snap Fastening Machine for Footwear, Bags and Leather Goods

The Semi-Automatic Snap Fastening Machine is designed for setting hollow rivets, snap buttons and similar fasteners on shoes, bags, belts, garments, tags, paper materials, plastic articles and leather goods. This Snap Fastening Machine combines manual workpiece positioning with mechanical fastening, making it suitable for factories that process different materials, irregular parts or mixed production orders.

At Tenghong, we recommend this model for manufacturers that need stable riveting results without relying on a fully automatic system. It is especially useful when operators need to check the fastening position visually before pressing, such as on shoe uppers, handbag handles, straps, labels and decorative leather parts.

Main Working Features

Our Semi-Automatic Snap Fastening Machine is built for practical workshop use. The operator places the material and rivet by hand, then the machine completes the fastening action with consistent pressing force. This structure helps reduce problems caused by unstable manual hammering, while still keeping enough flexibility for different product shapes.

For factories producing shoes, handbags or leather goods, this Snap Fastening Machine can be used near punching, stitching, gluing or assembly stations. The compact vertical structure allows line-side placement, helping workers complete riveting without moving semi-finished goods over long distances. This is useful for production lines where several product styles are handled in one shift.

The Semi-Automatic Snap Fastening Machine supports rivet head diameters from Φ6mm to Φ15mm, rivet diameters from Φ3mm to Φ5mm and rivet lengths from 3mm to 8mm. These ranges cover many standard hollow rivets used in light-to-medium duty fastening work. Before production, we suggest checking the total material thickness, rivet length and die shape together, because these factors directly affect fastening strength and finished appearance.

Application Areas

The Snap Fastening Machine can be applied to leather, PU, PVC, canvas, textile, paperboard and selected plastic materials, depending on the fastener type and material structure. Common applications include shoe straps, shoe uppers, handbag handles, lining parts, belt accessories, garment labels, packaging tags and decorative rivet positions.

In real production, the same rivet may perform differently on different material combinations. For example, a rivet used on two layers of fabric may not be suitable for leather plus lining plus reinforcement tape. For this reason, this Semi-Automatic Snap Fastening Machine is suitable for factories that need sample testing and flexible adjustment before batch production.

Technical Specifications

When selecting the Semi-Automatic Snap Fastening Machine, buyers should pay attention to die compatibility. The upper and lower dies must match the rivet head, shank diameter and cap shape. Incorrect tooling may cause loose rivets, tilted caps, visible pressure marks, cracked material or incomplete fastening.

Tenghong Manufacturing Background

This Snap Fastening Machine is manufactured by Guangdong Tenghong Machinery Technology Co., Ltd., located in Houjie Town, Dongguan City, a major footwear and shoe machinery manufacturing area in China. Since 2000, Tenghong has focused on shoe machinery, handbag machinery and leather processing equipment.

Our product range includes Shoe Machine, Bags And Leather Series and related equipment such as lasting machines, sole attaching machines, moulding machines, edge oil painting machines, punching machines, cutting machines, skiving machines, splitting machines, die cutting machines and gluing machines. This experience helps us understand how a Semi-Automatic Snap Fastening Machine fits into a complete footwear or leather goods production workflow, rather than treating it as an isolated machine.

Tenghong has a production base of about 15,000㎡, an export network covering 26+ countries, more than 30 partners and over 150 personnel involved in R&D, production and service. We implement ISO9001 and GBT19001 quality management systems to support more consistent production control for machinery and related parts.

After-Sales Service and Technical Support

For each Semi-Automatic Snap Fastening Machine, Tenghong provides installation guidance, commissioning support, operator training and maintenance advice. After delivery, our service team can assist with machine positioning, die alignment, fastening pressure adjustment and initial sample testing. These steps help the machine enter stable working condition before regular batch production.

When customers use different rivet sizes or material combinations, we can provide advice on rivet length matching, die replacement and setting adjustment. This helps reduce common issues such as loose rivets, uneven cap forming, cracked leather and unstable fastening. For the Snap Fastening Machine, wearing parts such as replacement dies, springs, pins and related components can be supplied according to actual use.

Daily use of the Semi-Automatic Snap Fastening Machine should include basic checks of the lower die, upper die, ram guide, clutch mechanism and return spring. If operators encounter abnormal noise, inaccurate positioning, unstable pressing force or inconsistent results, Tenghong can provide troubleshooting guidance to help reduce production downtime.

Buying Notes

Before purchasing this Snap Fastening Machine, buyers should prepare rivet samples, material samples and expected production information, including rivet size, material thickness, fastening position and required pull strength. For factories with frequent style changes, we recommend preparing multiple die sets to improve changeover efficiency and maintain consistent riveting quality.
