Differences Between Conventional Heat Setting Machines and Intelligent Vacuum Heat Setting Machines
In the footwear manufacturing industry, heat setting is a critical process that determines the shape stability and wearing comfort of shoes. Conventional heat setting machines and intelligent vacuum heat setting machines differ significantly in working principles, performance, and overall costs.

Traditional heat setting machines operate primarily on open hot-air circulation heating. Shoes are conveyed via a belt and set by high-temperature hot air. Their advantages include low equipment cost, simple operation, and low requirements for workshop space and labor, making them suitable for small workshops or small-batch orders. However, they also have obvious drawbacks: low temperature control accuracy, with temperature deviations exceeding ±10°C, which easily causes uneven heating of shoe materials, leading to problems such as partial deformation and discoloration. The setting effect depends on the penetration efficiency of hot air, making it difficult to fully shape complex shoe areas like edges and collars. Additionally, they have high energy consumption, resulting in unnecessary waste when operating continuously for long periods.
