7 Core Stages of the Automated Sneaker Manufacturing Process
Precision Cutting Machine Series
The foundation of quality starts here. High-tonnage hydraulic cutting machinery ensures accurate, consistent component shapes for all upper and sole materials, minimizing waste and maximizing yield.
TH-109 | Precise 4-column Cutting Machine (40ton)
40T Hydraulic Cutter
40T Hydraulic Cutter
Function: Utilized for cutting large area materials such as entire hides, bulk EVA sheets, technical fabrics, and rubber sheets, guaranteeing precision on large volumes.
Industrial Tonnage: 40T power ideal for simultaneous cutting of thick or multi-layer components.
Application: Outsole blanks, midsole components, and large upper pieces.
TH-228L | Swing Arm Cutting Machine (20t)
Swing Arm Cutter
Small Piece Cutting
Function: High-efficiency cutting of smaller materials like trim pieces, toe caps, small leather patches, and logo components, providing operational flexibility.
Operational Flexibility: Quick changeovers for various small components like eyelets, patches, and overlays.
Efficiency: Optimized for high-speed operation with individual dies.
Stitching Area: Automated Upper Assembly (Shoe Stitching/sewing Machine)
Optimal Uppers start with precise prep: Material edges are reduced for seamless, professional uppers. The final phase uses roller-feed machines, perfectly optimized for curves and varying thicknesses, ensuring high structural integrity and consistent aesthetics.
TH-991 | Single Needle Computer Roller Sewing Machine
Single Needle
Computerized Stitching
Function: High-precision single-needle stitching for complex curves, edge-stitching, and detailed assembly of synthetic and leather uppers.
Digital Consistency: Computer control guarantees uniform stitch length and tension on curved surfaces.
Speed & Reliability: Designed for non-stop industrial shoe upper production.
TH-992 | Double Needle Computer Roller Sewing Machine
Double Needle
Structural Reinforcement
Function: Used for parallel, double-line stitching for structural reinforcement (e.g., heel cups, vamps) and prominent aesthetic details.
Structural Reinforcement: Creates robust, perfectly aligned double seams for high-stress areas in athletic shoes.
Efficiency: Reduces passes needed for parallel seams, improving throughput.
Complete Shoe Forming (Toe Lasting Machine & Heel Seat Lasting Machine)
The lasting process is critical for setting the final geometry, fit, and structural integrity of the sneaker. It involves high-precision forming of the toe box, heel counter, and side walls onto the last.
TH-737 | Toe Lasting Machine
Toe Lasting
Pneumatic Control
Function: Shapes the toe section precisely onto the last. Critical for toe box comfort and structural consistency of running and court shoes.
High Pressure: Eliminates wrinkles and ensures the complex toe structure is perfectly formed.
Precision Control: Ensures maximum adhesion to the insole at the front of the shoe.
TH-658B | Computer Control Automatic Side&Heel Seat Lasting Machine
Side and Heel Seat Lasting
Heel Integrity
Function: The shoe upper is stretched with a predetermined force and sequence to make it taut and flat against the shoe last, eliminating wrinkles and achieving a perfect shoe shape.
Sole Preparation: Adhesion Enhancement & Roughing
Surface preparation is vital for achieving permanent structural bonding. Includes marking for precise alignment, and roughening to maximize glue adhesion area, all with integrated dust management for safety.
TH-825 | Shoe Surface Marking Machine (Auto Line Drawing)
Auto Line Drawing
Alignment Accuracy
Function: Automatically draws the precise alignment line on the lasted upper and/or sole for accurate sole attachment.
Digital Accuracy: Eliminates manual alignment errors, crucial for complex bi-color soles.
TH-317 | Dust Collector Single Side Roughing Machine
Sole Roughening
Eco-Friendly Roughing
Function: Roughens the sole’s bottom surface to maximize surface area and improve glue adhesion
Bond Strength: Essential for preparing challenging modern materials like high-density rubber and dense EVA/Phylon.
TH-718 | Spot Roughing Machine w/ "Little Bee" Collector
Spot Politable Roughing
Dust Extraction
Function: Detailed carving and trimming on the side edges of the upper and sole with immediate dust removal for safety compliance.
Compliance: The “Little Bee” dust system ensures immediate, high-efficiency dust removal at the source.
Cementing Area: Automated Glue Application & Activation
The crucial phase between roughing and pressing. Glue must be applied uniformly and then properly activated (e.g., via heat tunnel or drying) to ensure the adhesive is ready for high-pressure bonding
TH-Conveyor System | Assembly Line
Conveyor System
Glue Activation
Function: The central artery of the production line. Provides controlled movement for manual or automated glue application, drying, and subsequent transfer to the sole press.
Integrated Flow: Connects preparation to the final sole press (TH-719).
Function: The component is placed in an oven and heated at a precisely controlled temperature (typically 50°C – 80°C) for a specified time. The heat softens and melts the adhesive layer, transforming it into a viscous fluid.
Cementing Area: Automated Glue Application & Activation
The crucial phase between roughing and pressing. Glue must be applied uniformly and then properly activated (e.g., via heat tunnel or drying) to ensure the adhesive is ready for high-pressure bonding
TH-710C | Computer Control Heavy-duty Walled Sole Attaching Machine
Sole Attaching Machine
Digital Control
Function: Achieves high-strength, stable bonding between the upper and the sole. The computer program precisely controls oil pressure, pressing time, and pressing method.
Programmable Cycles: Customized settings for complex sole materials (EVA, PU, TPR) ensure optimized adhesive activation and bond permanence.
Competitive Edge: Eliminates manual inconsistencies, delivering a higher QC pass rate compared to standard pressing machines.
Finishing & QC: Final Aesthetics and Bond Curing
The final stage involves structural setting, rapid bond curing via cooling, aesthetic polish, and preparation for final quality check and packaging.
TH-828 | Industrial Chiller (Cooling Unit)
Industrial Chiller
Bond Curing
Function: Rapidly cools the shoes after the sole attaching stage to stabilize the adhesive bond and ensure lasting shape retention.
Curing Speed: Essential for maximizing the strength of modern adhesives used in high-speed lines.
TH-209 | Oil-Pressure Last Removing Machine
Oil-Pressure
Shoe Last Removal
Function: Automatically extracts the shoe last from the finished shoe using hydraulic oil pressure, preventing damage to the shoe upper and maintaining the footwear’s structural integrity.
Operation Efficiency: Designed for high-speed production lines, ensuring smooth and rapid de-lasting to significantly boost overall factory throughput.
Modular Configuration: Scaling Your Production Capacity
Tenghong’s production line is modular, allowing you to perfectly balance your machine configuration to match specific daily output targets (pairs/day) and available factory space, ensuring no single bottleneck slows production.
Small/Medium Scale (500-1500 pairs)
Small/Medium Scale (500-1500 pairs) Ideal for new market entrants. Uses one TH-109 , a single TH-719 , and a focused set of lasting and finishing machines. Maximizes flexibility with minimum footprint.
High-Volume Scale (1500-3000 pairs)
Standard industrial setup. Requires two TH-719 Sole Attaching Machines and potentially dual Roughing/Skiving stations to maintain flow efficiency.
Mass Production (3000+ pairs)
Fully automated, multi-line configuration. Requires multiple parallel lines with dedicated TH-727 and TH-719 banks, synchronized via conveyor belts for continuous operation.
