Footwear sole machine FAQ

For single-colour soles, Technocrat offers the TECHNICA-100, TECHNICA-2 and TECHNICA-SL ranges. The TECHNICA-100 suits heavy and EVA outer soles with high clamping tonnage; the TECHNICA-2 is a high-production extrusion workhorse (over 900 sold); the TECHNICA-SL adds a sliding plate for welt and insert work. All run PVC, TPR and TPU. Share your sole type and target output and we'll match the right model.

Depending on stations, configuration and automation level, Single-Colour Sole machines typically range from ₹7–13 lakh. Every line is quoted to your exact output target and material — send us your requirement on WhatsApp and you'll have an itemised quotation within 24 hours.

The TM-100 is a static two-colour sole moulding machine for PVC, TPR and TPU — low-waste, single-operator, with easy colour and size management. For screw-piston two-colour work with HMI-controlled flow and pressure, the TECHDUAL is the choice. Both run single- or double-station.

Depending on stations, configuration and automation level, Double-Colour Sole machines typically range from ₹15–30 lakh. Every line is quoted to your exact output target and material — send us your requirement on WhatsApp and you'll have an itemised quotation within 24 hours.

Yes — the TC-100 is India's first triple-colour sole moulding machine. It produces premium multi-colour soles at roughly one-third the power consumption of a rotary machine, with a single operator and very low material wastage.

Depending on stations, configuration and automation level, Triple-Colour Sole machines typically range from ₹20–37 lakh. Every line is quoted to your exact output target and material — send us your requirement on WhatsApp and you'll have an itemised quotation within 24 hours.

For EVA injection and croc-style footwear, the TECHEVA is engineered specifically for EVA soles and clogs at production scale. For EVA phylon pressing, the EVA-HC (hot & cold rotary) and TLEHC (linear hot & cold) deliver high-quality phylon; the TP-200 is a compact single/double-colour EVA foaming press. The right pick depends on whether you need injection or press moulding and your volume.

EVA hot & cold (EVA-HC / TLEHC) presses expanded EVA in heated then cooled moulds for phylon midsoles and slippers. EVA injection (TECHEVA) injects EVA directly into moulds — better suited to croc-style footwear and one-piece EVA soles. Hot & cold favours phylon quality; injection favours speed and complex one-piece parts.

Depending on stations, configuration and automation level, EVA / Phylon machines typically range from ₹15–30 lakh. Every line is quoted to your exact output target and material — send us your requirement on WhatsApp and you'll have an itemised quotation within 24 hours.

Yes — the TECHLAST is a high-production shoe-last moulding machine with superior plasticizing, PLC control and AC drives that tune screw speed to the material.

No — Technocrat does not manufacture hand-operated sheet-cutting machines for hawai chappals. We build automatic sole moulding machines — PVC air-blown rotary lines and EVA presses — for slipper and sandal manufacturers producing at factory scale, 130+ pairs per hour. If you're looking for a manual cutting/punching machine, that's a different category of equipment than what we supply.

Depending on stations and configuration, our PVC air-blown rotary sole machines (like the TECHROT-20/24 used for chappal and slipper soles) typically range from ₹15–28 lakh, and EVA sole machines range from ₹15–30 lakh. Every setup is quoted to your exact output target — send us your requirement on WhatsApp for an itemised quotation within 24 hours.

A full slipper-sole production setup means the moulding machine plus moulds for your designs plus ancillary equipment — so the total depends on your product range and mould count, not machine price alone. Machine price alone starts around ₹15 lakh for PVC air-blown rotary machines. Share your design range and monthly target and we'll send an itemised quotation for the complete setup within 24 hours.

Our rotary air-blowing machines (TECHROT-20/24) produce 130-180 pairs per hour; the EVA-HC rotary press produces 800-1,200 pairs per 8-hour shift. Actual output depends on your sole design and mould configuration.

PVC air-blown soles suit everyday hawai chappals and sandals — durable, water-resistant and cost-efficient to produce. EVA soles are lighter and softer, suited to comfort slippers and sports sandals. Tell us your target market and footwear style and we'll recommend the material and machine.

PVC is economical and widely used for everyday footwear; TPR offers better flexibility and grip; TPU is the most durable and abrasion-resistant, used for premium and sports soles. Most Technocrat sole machines run all three, so you can switch materials on the same machine as your product mix changes. Tell us your footwear segment and we'll advise the material and machine.

Startup cost depends on the sole type, output target and how many stations you run. A single-station single-colour line is the most accessible entry point; rotary and multi-colour lines scale up from there. As a broad guide, entry-level single-station lines start around ₹7 lakh. Rather than quote a figure here, we map your target output and material to the right machine and give you a clear, itemised quotation — message us with your plan and we'll work it out with you. For a deeper look at total cost of ownership beyond the sticker price, see our imported vs Indian-made buyer's guide.

It depends on the model and station count — connected loads range from around 10 kW on a single-station injection machine to 60+ kW on large rotary lines. Many of our machines are engineered to run efficiently on limited power; in several cases we've adapted machines and fitted VFD drives so customers could run multiple machines on a modest existing connection. Share your available load and we'll advise what fits.

Yes. Most Technocrat sole machines run PVC, TPR and TPU on the same machine, so you can change material as your product range changes without buying a separate machine. EVA and rubber lines are material-specific by design.

Output varies by machine and station count — from around 20-70 pairs/hour on a single-station machine to 130-180 pairs/hour on rotary air-blowing lines, and up to 1,500 pairs/hour on a 6-station insole press. Each machine page lists its exact production capacity. For chappal and slipper manufacturers specifically, see our dedicated sole machines guide.

Many models are equipped with, or available with, power-saving frequency (VFD) drives, and several rotary machines offer servo-motor options that cut electricity use by up to 30-40%. Power efficiency is a core part of how our machines are engineered.
