Shoe Anti-Slip Pad And Outsole Stud Injection Molding Machine
Product Overview
The Shoe Anti-Slip Pad and Outsole Stud Injection Molding Machine is a specialized injection system for manufacturing anti-slip pads, traction studs, and grip enhancement components for footwear outsoles. These components are critical for sports shoes, safety shoes, hiking boots, and any footwear requiring enhanced ground traction.
This vertical injection machine features a rotary table with 6 mold stations, allowing continuous production with simultaneous injection, cooling, and part removal. The injection unit handles TPR, TPU, and rubber compounds with precision shot control (±0.5g) for consistent part quality. Anti-slip pads as small as 5mm diameter can be produced with high repeatability.
The quick-change mold system supports multiple product configurations on the same machine. With production rates of 800-1500 pieces per hour depending on part size and material, this machine provides the capacity needed for large-scale shoe manufacturing operations.
Applications
Manufactures anti-slip pads for sports shoes, cleats for soccer/football shoes, traction studs for hiking boots, grip pads for safety shoes, and decorative sole elements. Compatible with TPR, TPU, PVC, and rubber materials in various hardness grades.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the smallest part this machine can produce?
A: Parts as small as 5mm diameter can be produced with consistent quality. Mold design affects minimum size capabilities.
Q: Can different color materials be used in the same run?
A: Each production run uses one material/color. For multi-color products, parts from different runs can be assembled, or a multi-injection machine configuration is available.
Q: How are the finished parts attached to shoe soles?
A: Parts can be produced as insert-molded components (placed in sole molds) or as standalone pads that are glued onto finished soles.
Q: What is the typical mold cost?
A: Mold costs vary based on cavity count and complexity. Single-cavity molds start around $500, while multi-cavity molds range from $2,000-$8,000. We can recommend mold suppliers.
Q: Are different compound formulations supported?
A: Yes, the temperature and pressure settings are fully adjustable for different TPR, TPU, PVC, and rubber formulations. Up to 50 material recipes can be stored in the PLC.
