Haifeng Automation Overall Solution for Shoe Soles
Industry Pain Points
01
Dual shortcomings in quality and environmental adaptability
Manual production results in uneven tire hardness and poor shock absorption, which are prone to damaging precision medical equipment; the surface is easy to accumulate dust and difficult to clean, failing to meet the sterile requirements of hospitals. Meanwhile, the rolling noise is ≥70dB, interfering with the diagnosis and treatment environment.
02
Insufficient production adaptability and efficiency
A single production line can only adapt to products of a single specification, making it difficult to meet the production needs of multiple loads and sizes; the production changeover cycle is as long as 2-3 days, leading to slow response to multi-category orders. Additionally, relying on manual production results in overall low efficiency.
03
Compliance and durability risks
Products are difficult to meet the environmental standards of the medical industry, and are prone to aging with a short service life. This not only faces the risk of compliance penalties but also pushes up the later maintenance costs.
Core of the Solution
With years of experience in the polyurethane equipment field, Haifeng Automation focuses on the core demands of the medical industry: “sterility, low noise and shock absorption, stability and durability, and flexible adaptability”. Integrating independently developed HF-CPU series intelligent casting machines, medical scenario-customized mixing and foaming systems, and exclusive formula systems, it has created an end-to-end solution covering “material R&D + intelligent production + quality inspection + full-cycle operation and maintenance”. Suitable for the production needs of various medical equipment tires, the solution provides one-stop services of “technical scheme design + exclusive equipment supply + full-cycle operation and maintenance”, accurately solving core pain points such as quality, environment, and compliance in medical scenarios, and helping enterprises enhance market competitiveness.
Core Solution Modules
R&D of Medical-Grade Specialized Materials
Customized functional formulas: Relying on Haifeng’s PU Application R&D Center, develop special polyurethane formulas suitable for medical scenarios. The hardness can be precisely adjusted between 60-90 Shore A to ensure stable shock absorption performance and effectively protect precision medical equipment.
Sterile and durable characteristics: Optimize the material surface process to make the tire surface dense and smooth, resistant to alcohol and disinfectant wiping, not easy to accumulate dust and easy to clean, fully complying with hospital sterile standards; at the same time, improve the material’s anti-aging performance and significantly extend the service life.
Noise reduction formula optimization: Reduce tire rolling resistance through material composition adjustment and structural design, controlling the rolling noise at ≤55dB to meet the needs of a quiet diagnosis and treatment environment.
Automated Precision Molding Production
Intelligent integrated production line
Provide customized complete production lines covering all processes from raw material pretreatment, intelligent mixing, precise casting to automatic sorting. The core equipment, HF-CPU series intelligent casting machines, operates stably and reliably to ensure consistent product quality.
Flexible adaptability
Relying on the CAD modeling and rapid mold development technology of the Mechanical Design Research Institute, support the flexible production of 3-12 inch multi-size and light-heavy load tires. The production changeover only takes ≤1 hour, enabling rapid response to multi-category order requirements.
Existing equipment upgrading
Provide modular upgrading services for traditional production lines, adding intelligent temperature control, precision metering, and automated conveying modules to realize the transformation from manual production to automated production, improving production efficiency and product qualification rate.
Comprehensive Quality Verification and Compliance Assurance
Intelligent quality inspection
Equipped with Haifeng's independently developed integrated testing equipment, covering the detection of core indicators such as hardness, shock absorption performance, noise, and surface cleanliness. With high detection efficiency, it can automatically sort unqualified products, ensuring a product qualification rate of ≥98%.
Real-time precise regulation
Adopt an intelligent production control system to dynamically adjust parameters such as casting temperature and raw material ratio in real time, ensuring stable and consistent performance of each batch of products and avoiding quality fluctuations caused by manual operations.
Compliance certification support
Cooperate with authoritative testing institutions to assist enterprises in completing medical industry environmental standard certifications, providing complete technical parameters and sample support to help enterprises break through market access barriers and avoid compliance risks.
