The traditional shoe-making process requires preliminary treatment such as roughing, acid-alkaline washing, and processing agents to facilitate the subsequent gluing process of the shoe surface. However, these pre-processes expose laborers to a large amount of dust, generate wastewater pollution and air pollution. Research reports indicate that the volatile solvents (processing agents) needed in the bonding process of traditional shoe-making for the shoe surface, midsole, and outsole, are one of the main causes of haze. Leaders of all internationally renowned shoe brands have also begun to require manufacturers to address the environmental external costs generated in the shoe-making process. Hence, considering these two breakthroughs needed in the current shoe manufacturing process, environmentally friendly and automated production equipment is an indispensable aspect in future shoe manufacturing.
The purpose of Atmospheric Plasma Corporation’s development of the ATM3 3D Air Plasma Automation Equipment is to replace the two-stage process of roughing and pre-treatment in shoe manufacturing. Utilizing our exclusive 3D visual scanning system, we calculate the optimal plasma treatment path for different shoe types. Coupled with an automatic detection and debugging system, incomplete plasma treatment on the shoe upper can be effectively addressed. Compared to the traditional roughing process, the shoe upper treated with plasma forms stronger chemical covalent bonds with the adhesive, enhancing the bonding strength between different materials. Additionally, with the integration of the automation system, the average processing speed for one shoe upper is 10 seconds, significantly increasing the production rate compared to manual roughing. Furthermore, this automation process mitigates dust pollution issues associated with traditional roughing.
In the past, traditional shoemaking processes required roughing, alkaline and acidic washing, and pre-treatment to facilitate the subsequent shoe upper gluing process. However, these pre-treatment processes exposed workers to a significant amount of dust hazards, leading to additional problems such as wastewater and air pollution. Research reports have shown that volatile solvents (treatment agents) used in the traditional shoemaking process for bonding the shoe upper, midsole, and outsole are a major contributor to haze. Leaders of all internationally renowned shoe brands have started to demand that manufacturers address the environmental external costs generated during the shoe manufacturing process. Therefore, summarizing the challenges in the two aforementioned shoemaking processes, environmentally friendly and automated production equipment is an essential component for the future of the shoemaking process.
