The need for shoes as a product that protects the legs appeared with the birth of humanity on planet Earth. Modern man pays attention not only to protective properties, this is not the only criterion for choice. People also pay attention to external beauty and internal comfort.
Why is it so important to choose quality equipment?
High-quality equipment is the main step towards the production of good products, because no matter what work is mentioned, equipment cannot be dispensed with. But there is a need to make comfortable, and most importantly, toe shoes that cannot be made on a bad machine.
So, the factory can not do without sewing machines, multifunctional combines and other devices. A large number of various equipment is presented on the modern market, each device performs its function in this activity. All devices interact with each other, for example, without a conveyor activator, it is impossible to finish the production of shoes. It can work in two modes: manual and automatic.
Equipment and raw materials
Due to the fact that the manufacture of “footwear” is a high-tech process, it requires the availability of high-quality equipment, the same applies to the material, even glue for the manufacture of shoes must be chosen correctly. The most relevant material is genuine leather. In Russia, a huge number of tanneries are currently operating. They release tons of well-crafted leather. The cost depends on the type of product.
Production technology and equipment necessary at each stage: cutting shop
In the cutting shop, we need two presses that perform the function of cutting small parts. The first is necessary for parts on the upper part, and the second - for the lower part and the manufacture of small parts. Also in this process we will need pads for the production of shoes, they come in different types: finishing, lingering, pressing and ironing. They add to the list of the most important equipment for the manufacture of the products in question. Their shape depends on the size, style, height and fullness of the foot and other lifting parameters.
Insoles production
Here you will need several devices. First of all, you need a main machine, which is responsible for the shape of the insole. Then treat the edges of the insole and lubricate with glue. A hydraulic press is necessary for the production of insulation.
Blank room
Four machines will be needed in the harvesting room:
- dvilno-tape machine - a device that aligns the upper, leather parts of shoes and their thickness;
- seam processing machine - a machine that processes the edges of parts and makes them most convenient for further stitching;
- stamping device - stamps the product, in other words, arranges numbers identifying details;
- double machine - doubles the details of the boot, lining and hot-melt adhesive products.
Sewing room
The sewing room, in which all the parts are combined into one, indivisible, first of all, needs a conveyor for sewing, several specialized sewing machines and a device designed for lubricating certain parts with glue. Also needed are devices for folding edges, toes and processing back seams.
Assembly room
The choice of equipment for the production of shoes at this stage plays a special role, there are most machines here.In the assembly room it is necessary to install an apparatus for working with scoops, for nailing insoles and forming backs, as well as a machine for tightening products. Here you can not do without a device for cooling, blowing, drying, cleaning and polishing.
A prerequisite is also the presence of an aggregate for working with pads, a thermal activator and a press for sizing joints. For this workshop you need a lot of equipment. Basically, all the necessary equipment is delivered to the factory after a personal agreement with the main suppliers. Therefore, on the Internet you are unlikely to find stores that sell machine tools.
Organization of production
To organize a business, it is necessary to rent or buy several premises so that all the necessary machines for the production of shoes fit there. Today, people increasingly prefer foreign manufacturers, so a domestic businessman needs to think carefully about the choice of equipment. On the modern market, there are a huge number of factories that offer products of different categories: men's, rubber, orthopedic, women's, children's, seasonal.
The area of the plant is no less a serious issue than the choice of equipment for the production of shoes. The area should be about 7 thousand square meters. m. This includes workshops, warehouses and offices. Such a plant should have such communications as a gas pipeline, water supply and electricity. Do not forget about the staff. Based on practice, for normal functioning requires about 200-250 wage workers.
Packaging
Boxes are made to order in specially equipped factories. They produce packaging on which the name of a particular company or factory is written.
Certification
As in any other field of activity, you need to take care of the certification of your production. The manufacture of children's products, pads for the production of shoes and in general the entire process of creating fashionable and comfortable shoes and sandals must undergo mandatory certification. Products for adults in strict order must be declared.
Investments
If you decide to start manufacturing shoes, then you need to be prepared for the fact that you have to make quite large investments. The amount of investment will be about 180 million rubles. However, with a good layout, stable production and successful work of a competent manager, this amount will pay off in 4 years.
Now you know the basic rules for selecting equipment. The main thing is to seriously and responsibly approach this issue. All materials, tools, raw materials and fabric for the production of shoes should be of high quality, the quality of the product itself depends on them. Also take care of competent staff, whose qualifications determine the success and profit of your business. We wish you good luck in all your endeavors!
