Haifeng Automation Overall Solution for Shoe Soles
Industry Pain Points
01
Insufficient Production Efficiency and Stability
The wear resistance, slip resistance, impact resistance and other core performance of traditional shoe soles are weak, failing to meet safety requirements under complex road conditions. Meanwhile, reliance on manual proportioning and inadequate process control lead to significant performance variations among products of the same batch and a high defect rate.
02
Imbalanced Formula Adaptability and Cost Control
It is difficult to quickly customize exclusive formulas for multiple scenarios (such as mine heavy load, low temperature, etc.), limiting adaptability. Meanwhile, traditional processes cause high pollution and significant raw material waste, and the short service life of tires leads to high comprehensive costs for customers.
03
High Technical Threshold and Implementation Difficulty
The linkage between polyurethane tire formula R&D and automated production is challenging, core technologies are hard to break through, and small and medium-sized enterprises lack mature support, making it difficult to achieve standardized and large-scale production.
Core of the Solution
With over 30 years of profound experience in the polyurethane field, Haifeng focuses on the core needs of OTR polyurethane tires—”efficient production, precise formulas, and stable quality”. Relying on independently developed fully automated polyurethane casting equipment and precision metering systems, combined with formula customization technology and standardized production processes, we have created an integrated solution of “formula R&D support + automated production equipment + process implementation guidance”. We provide tire manufacturers with full-chain services from equipment supply to technical support, helping customers achieve standardized and large-scale production of OTR polyurethane tires, with equipment operating without failure for over 6,000 hours.
Core Solution Modules
Scenario-Based Custom Formula R&D
Performance-Exclusive Formulas: Specialized polyurethane formulas are developed for different application scenarios such as mine heavy load, low temperature, and corrosion, optimizing the wear resistance, damage resistance, and temperature resistance of tires. The Akron abrasion value can be as low as ≤0.15 cm³/1.61km.
Flexible Formula Adjustment: Formula components can be quickly adjusted according to customers’ specific performance requirements (e.g., enhancing load-bearing capacity for mine tires, improving low-temperature elasticity for tires in cold regions), ensuring adaptation to various harsh operating environments.
Formula Stability Verification: Rigorous multi-dimensional tests (including wear resistance, pressure resistance, and temperature resistance) are conducted on developed formulas to ensure consistent performance of finished tires, meeting industry quality standards.
Automated High-Precision Production System
Full-Process Automated Production Line
Equipped with Haifeng's independently developed high-pressure casting machines, modular molds, and vulcanization testing lines, it realizes full-automated operation of raw material mixing, casting, vulcanization, and testing processes. The metering precision is ≤±1%, and production efficiency is increased by more than 3 times.
Precision Mold Customization
Exclusive molds are customized according to the size and structural requirements of OTR tires, achieving one-time molding precision that meets design standards. This ensures consistent tire dimensions and avoids quality hazards caused by manual molding.
Modular Equipment Upgrade
To improve vulcanization efficiency, expand production scale, etc., only modular adjustments to the production line (such as adding casting stations, upgrading testing modules) are required, enabling rapid adaptation to changes in production demand.
Comprehensive Quality Verification and Compliance Assurance
Core Performance Inspection
Key indicators of finished tires, such as wear resistance, load-bearing capacity, and structural integrity, are inspected to ensure a product qualification rate of ≥99%, meeting customers' actual application needs.
Green Production Compliance Support
Production equipment has no pollutant emissions, and raw material utilization rate is increased by 20%, complying with environmental protection standards. It also supports the production of airless and high-load-bearing tires, adapting to customers' differentiated needs.
Intelligent Quality Inspection and Sorting
Combining visual inspection with automatic sorting, it accurately identifies surface defects and dimensional deviations of tires, automatically removing unqualified products to ensure the quality of delivered products.
