The TH-319A Counter Moulding Machine is a purpose-built solution for reinforcing and shaping the heel counter area of shoe uppers. This critical step in footwear production ensures structural support and durability in the heel zone, which plays a major role in comfort and shoe longevity. Designed and manufactured by a trusted name in shoe machinery, the TH-319A offers precision, consistent performance, and reliability across a wide range of footwear styles.As manufacturers continue to seek greater efficiency and accuracy in shoemaking, machines like the TH-319A become indispensable. This review will explore its key features, technical specifications, advantages, applications, and commonly asked questions.
The counter moulding process involves heating and pressing the heel section of the upper against a mould, allowing a thermoplastic counter to harden into its final shape. This forms the back structure of the shoe, which supports the foot and maintains the overall silhouette. The TH-319A automates this process using both hot and cold pressing functions, ensuring high-quality results with less manual handling.With temperature control, precise timing functions, and a sturdy pressing mechanism, the TH-319A makes it easier for footwear factories to maintain consistent counter shapes even at high volumes of production.
The TH-319A is engineered with a heavy-duty steel frame that minimizes vibration and ensures stable operation. It features a dual-station system with both hot and cold moulds that allow one shoe to be heated while the other is being cooled. This setup increases productivity without sacrificing quality.The heating plate uses a rapid-response system for quick warm-up and consistent temperature, while the cooling station locks in the counter shape to prevent warping or deformation. Operators can easily switch between different shoe sizes and adjust timing and temperature settings with the user-friendly control panel.
In real-world production environments, the TH-319A consistently delivers clean, firm heel shapes that conform tightly to the last. The dual-station design cuts cycle time significantly compared to single-press systems. Whether used on sports shoes, leather boots, or formal footwear, the results remain precise and reliable.Because the pressing force is adjustable and even, the machine reduces the risk of material damage. The consistent heat and cooling system help shape the counter material uniformly, avoiding air pockets or misshaping.
The TH-319A is suitable for a variety of footwear types including:
Leather dress shoes
Work and safety boots
Casual sneakers
Formal high heels
Custom and orthopedic shoes
Whether used in large-scale production or high-end boutique workshops, it provides professional shaping support for different shoe types.
Dual hot and cold stations increase efficiency and ensure shape retention
Adjustable temperature and timing for different materials and styles
Compact size with durable construction suitable for continuous operation
User-friendly interface simplifies operation and minimizes training time
Reliable performance across a variety of upper and counter materials
Requires stable air and power supply to operate both heat and cooling systems effectively
Suitable for heel areas only and not designed for full-upper moulding
Operators must monitor heat and cycle settings closely to avoid overexposure
Not ideal for very small batch production unless used alongside other forming tools
The TH-319A Counter Moulding Machine is a powerful, compact, and essential tool for any serious shoe manufacturing operation. Its ability to quickly and accurately shape heel counters ensures high-quality footwear with a perfect finish. With fast cycle times, dual heating and cooling stations, and reliable mechanical performance, the TH-319A streamlines production while improving structural integrity.Factories focused on quality control and production speed will find this machine to be a valuable addition to their finishing line. It is especially useful in facilities producing leather footwear, athletic shoes, and safety boots where heel structure is non-negotiable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can be used with the TH-319A Counter Moulding Machine
It works best with thermoplastic counter materials as well as some fabric reinforced composites that respond well to heat and pressure.
How long does it take to mould each shoe
Each shoe can be processed in about 10 to 15 seconds depending on the material thickness and temperature settings.
Can the machine handle all shoe sizes
Yes, it accommodates most European sizes from 34 to 46 and the moulds can be changed easily for different last shapes.
Is it difficult to operate for new workers
Not at all. The machine has a simple interface and most operators can learn to use it efficiently within one day of training.
Does it require a special cooling system
The machine includes a built-in air-cooling unit with heat exchange technology. It does not require external water cooling systems.
