Product Features of the TH-727DP Hydraulic Automatic Heel Seat Lasting Machine

Precision Adjustable Lasting Mechanisms

• The machine is equipped with adjustable devices for the height of the shoe last, facilitating accurate and repeatable positioning to suit different shoe sizes and heel shapes.
• The forward movement of the last features an adjustable pressure control device to prevent unintended displacement during the lasting process, enhancing consistency.
• All adjustments are conveniently centralized on the front plate and include real-time hydraulic pressure feedback, allowing operators to calibrate the machine effectively and quickly respond to production needs.
• Use of gears, rack and pinion systems, and ratchets facilitates rapid and precise positioning of the auxiliary supporters, supporting a wide variety of shoe lasts.
• The second pressing with a wiper device smooths the lasting area, improving adhesion and producing higher quality finished shoes. This feature is supported by a full range of wipers and forming bands tailored for various shoe models.

Robust Technical Specifications Supporting High Productivity

• The TH-727DP operates with a 1.5KW motor and 0.32 KW heating, delivering sufficient power for high-volume production cycles.
• Hydraulic oil pressure at 40kg/cm² provides consistent and firm lasting pressure, critical for durable sole-to-upper bonding.
• Capable of producing up to 3000 pairs per hour, the machine is highly efficient, making it suitable for factories aiming to maximize output.
• Its net weight of 431kg and dimensions (1030mm length × 720mm width × 1450mm height) combine stability with a compact footprint, facilitating integration into various manufacturing environments.
• Optional configurations make it suitable for stitch-down footwear production, expanding its versatility for different market segments.
