Solvent-free, dry, and automated production of flexible materials.

A solvent-free, integrated solution for the production of dry-processed synthetic leather.

The dry-cast synthetic leather industry, including leather for shoes, bags, and automotive interiors, traditionally relies on manual temperature and pressure control, resulting in frequent defects like bubbles and warping, limiting the pass rate. This leads to low production efficiency, long changeover times, and high raw material waste. Furthermore, the use of solvent systems results in VOC emissions exceeding regulatory limits, and the resulting materials lack durability and resistance to abrasion. Hai Feng's HF-LPM-L series solvent-free PU foam coating machines form the core of its production capabilities. The company can establish new, fully automated production lines or upgrade existing lines with modular components. In addition, Hai Feng offers research and development of solvent-free adhesives, online quality control, and certification assistance to ensure the consistent production of durable, low-VOC dry-cast synthetic leather products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some common questions regarding solvent-free dry synthesis of leather. For process evaluation and equipment recommendations, please contact us for technical consultation.

Which model should I choose between HF-LPM-1A1B-L and HF-LPM-2A2B-L? +
1A1B-L is suitable for R&D and smal-batch orders; 2A2B-L is designed for large-scale production, wth a maximum output of
120-150m, and is selected based on the customer's production capacity.
Can the existing solvent-based, dry leather production line be modified? +
The design supports modular upgrades and the reuse of the clients existing production lines. It incudes the addition of precision measurement, temperature control, and exhaust gas collection modules, enabling a transition from solvent-based processes to solvent-free processes.
Can the equipment directly ensure that the products meet REACH and RoHS certifications? +
The equipment and processes provide the necessary conditions and testing materials. However, environmental certificationstill requires customers to submit their finished products to a third-party testing agency for verification, with the testing agency's report serving as the basis for certification.
Why do the time required for color changes and complete formula switches differ? +
Simply changing the color involves cleaning the tubing, which takes 3-5 minutes. A complete replacement of the adhesive formula requires cleaning the mixing head and tubing, re-calibrating parameters, and the target completion time is ≤1.5 hours.
What types of synthetic leather can this system produce? +
We produce dry-cast artificial leather for applications such as shoes, handbags, and automotive interior materials. We can
also adjust our formulations and processes to meet specific customer requirements.
What is the accuracy of the device's measurements? +
The entire measuring system offers stable accuracy of ≤0.3%, ensuring consistent bonding strength and product
performance between batches.
Can a wet-process case prove dry-process output? +
The coagulation and drying workflows differ. Cases are associated only when their documented process matches this route.
What information is needed to size the production line? +
Share the finished-product drawing or sample, material supplier data, target output per shift or hour, automation requirements and factory conditions. Product changes, cure residence and downstream handling must be included in the capacity review.
What is included in the equipment package? +
Haifeng coating/metering systems interface with agreed web handling, drying and finishing; material-specific recovery systems are itemized.
Are cycle time and finished-product performance fixed? +
They are established for the selected material, geometry, tooling and acceptance tests. The proposal identifies target conditions and the validation needed before a final performance commitment.
