Low-Pressure PU Foaming Machine for PU Shoe Insoles & Midsoles

Product Overview

The HF-LPM-2A1B-F is a low-pressure PU foaming system for insoles/midsoles, featuring fast color switching (3-5 min), anti-blocking needle-valve head, and ±0.3% accuracy.

The HF-LPM-2A1B-F is a low-pressure PU foaming machine for single and dual-color insoles—memory, rebound, antibacterial, midsoles, arch supports, and orthotic insoles—supporting MDI/TDI systems and rigid or soft formulations. Mixed PU is poured into open or semi-closed molds, then cured, demolded, and trimmed. The machine features a 120L tank, discharge flow of 30–85 g/s, adjustable A:B ratio of 1:1–1:4, and a mixing head speed of 4,000–10,000 rpm. The low-residence mixing head and fast-cleaning valve group enable color/material switching within 3–5 minutes, cutting cleaning time and waste by 30%–50%. The self-cleaning needle-valve head scrapes residual material after each shot, preventing blockage, while closed-loop micro-flow control keeps ±0.3% accuracy at small discharge volumes. PLC + touch screen stores recipes for one-click switching and integrates with automatic production lines. Compact, energy-saving 8 kW design lowers investment for insole OEMs and startups.

Production Workflow

Material Preparation & Recipe Selection

Load polyol and isocyanate into 120L tanks; select desired recipe on PLC touch screen and set ratio (1:1‑1:4) and flow (30‑85 g/s).

Fast Color/Material Switching (if needed)

Activate fast‑cleaning valve group and low‑residence mixing head for color/material changeover; completes within 3‑5 minutes.

Precision Pouring into Molds

Mixed PU material is poured into open/semi‑closed molds via self‑cleaning needle‑valve injection head; residual material automatically scraped clean after each shot.

Curing, Demolding & Automatic Cleaning

Allow insole to cure; demold finished part; self‑cleaning mechanism and low‑residence channels prepare the head for the next cycle, preventing blockages.

Why Choose Our Insole PU Foaming System

Key Advantages

Six engineering and production benefits designed specifically for multi‑variety, small‑batch insole manufacturing with fast changeover and low operating costs.

Fast Color & Material Switching System

Low‑residence‑volume mixing head and fast‑cleaning valve group enable color/material changeover within 3‑5 minutes, reducing cleaning time and material waste by 30%‑50% compared to general‑purpose machines.

Anti‑Blocking Dedicated Design

Self‑cleaning needle‑valve injection head with low‑residence flow channels automatically scrapes residual materials after each shot, preventing blockages during frequent start‑stop cycles typical of insole production.

Closed‑Loop Micro‑Flow Control

Ensures accurate mixing ratio (±0.3%) even under small discharge volumes (as low as 30 g/s), effectively reducing reject rates from nozzle blockage and ratio drift.

High Automation Compatibility

Integrates with circular/banana‑type production lines, pneumatic automatic mold opening/closing systems, and robotic casting arms for highly automated continuous production, greatly reducing labor costs.

Energy‑Saving, Low Consumption & Easy Maintenance

Compact layout with only 8 kW rated power for low operating energy costs. Modular pipeline design allows users to clean and replace sealing parts independently, with significantly lower maintenance costs than high‑pressure machines.

Wide Material & Product Compatibility

Supports MDI and TDI systems, rigid and soft foaming formulations. Produces PU memory insoles, high‑rebound insoles, medical orthotic insoles, arch supports, midsoles, and more for the full footwear market.

COMPLETE SOLUTION

Integrate the product with our full range of auxiliary equipment for a turnkey polyurethane processing system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of insoles can this machine produce?
It produces PU memory insoles, slow‑rebound/high‑rebound insoles, antibacterial breathable insoles, shoe midsoles, shock‑absorbing sheets, arch support pads, medical orthotic insoles, and health functional insoles. It supports both MDI and TDI systems, covering the full footwear insole market.
How long does it take to switch between different colors or material systems?
Thanks to the low‑residence‑volume mixing head and fast‑cleaning valve group, color and material system switching can be completed within 3‑5 minutes—reducing cleaning time and material waste by 30%‑50% compared to general‑purpose machines.
How does the machine prevent blockage during small‑batch production?
The self‑cleaning needle‑valve injection head with low‑residence flow channels automatically scrapes residual materials from the mixing chamber after each injection. Combined with closed‑loop micro‑flow control, it ensures accurate ratio even under small discharge volumes and frequent start‑stop cycles.
Can this machine be integrated with automated production lines?
Yes. It can be matched with circular/banana‑type production lines, pneumatic automatic mold opening/closing systems, and robotic arm casting systems to realize highly automated continuous production, greatly lowering labor input for large‑scale insole factories.
What is the typical installation and training timeline?
After machine arrival, our engineers complete on‑site installation, commissioning, and operator training within 5‑7 working days. Integration with automated production lines may take an additional 2‑3 days depending on factory layout and line configuration.
