Shoe technology – Quality made visible

The shoe can be subjected to very high stresses. With every step, the seams of the shoe are exposed to extreme stresses in all manner of weather condi - tions. The shoe not only performs a protective function, however, but has also become an important fashion accessory for many wearers, one which conveys a certain “lifestyle”. The manufacturing of the shoe upper plays a key role here.

By partnering with DÜRKOPP ADLER, PFAFF INDUSTRIAL and KSL, these requirements are fulfilled in a unique way. These three brands, which have been united under the umbrella of ShangGong Europe Holding since 2013, have a great innovative capacity, unparalleled technical expertise and many years of experience. Together, we are now a virtually “full-range” provider of solutions for connecting and sealing leather and technical textiles in a wide range of shoes. The product range extends from simple machines for small workshops, to electronic high-tech machines, through to CNC technology and welding technology. Of course, it is also possible to work together in planning and implementing your specific solutions. Be inspired by our innovative capacity as a technological leader in the textile and leather-processing industry.

Modern joining of technical textiles

On the continuously growing market of innovative textiles joining methods are constantly being scrutinized. For quite some time needle and thread have been losing their claim to exclusivity in this field. During the sewing process the needle penetrates the textile fabric and pulls a thread behind it.
In “regular” textiles this does not leave behind any major damage. In technical textiles it could, however, destroy the surface and thus compromise the textile properties. Welding machines on the other hand join thermoplastic materials using hot air, contact heat (hot wedge), ultrasound or high frequency without affecting material properties. Moreover, welding offers additional advantages e. g. high impermeability (watertight, gastight, airtight), no disruptive resp. bulky seam, no use of consumables such as needle, thread or glue.

Without a doubt, PFAFF INDUSTRIAL has for decades been the leader in innovation and technology for the welding techniques hot wedge, hot air and ultrasound. Among others, PFAFF INDUSTRIAL launched milestones like the first ultrasound machine featuring a rolling sonotrode, the first programmable welding machine or the first welding machine featuring edge trimming. The spectrum ranges from standard machines to fully automatic customized systems, some of which are manufactured at PFAFF INDUSTRIAL’s KSL-site in Lorsch. Since 2013 Dürkopp Adler and PFAFF INDUSTRIAL (featuring the KSL-brand) have been united under the umbrella of Shanggong (Europe) Holding and can rely on a sales network that is unparalleled in the world.

This segment brochure outlines all current welding solutions within the group. Of course, we would be happy to plan and realize your very own solution together with you. We are looking forward to your feedback.

Jeans technology - Not only for classics

Jeans are timeless – however, their production has for decades been subject to a highly dynamic environment. The growth potential for this product (mainly jeans) is still strong. Around the world more than 4,5 billion pairs of jeans are being sold each year. Until 2020 the market will experience further significant growth. A positive growth development is expected on all continents – in Asia, the most populous continent, the highest growth rates are anticipated. A modified market situation that becomes increasingly similar to western consumer behavior indicates demand for medium and high-priced jeans will rise. Throughout the entire textile industry the demand is increasing for automated solutions which ensure good and consistent quality with high-performance (output).
This requirement for automated production will further intensify due to limited resources and rising wages in the current production countries.

Because of the partnership between DÜRKOPP ADLER, PFAFF INDUSTRIAL and KSL, we are able to react to market demands with suitable products. These three brands, which have been united under the umbrella of ShangGong Europe Holding since 2013, have a great innovative capacity, unparalleled technical expertise and many years of experience.
Together we possess an attractive portfolio of jeans machines ranging from simple high-speed seamers to programmable CNC-automats. Of course, it is also possible to work together in planning and implementing your specific solutions. Be inspired by our innovative capacity as a technological leader in the textile and leather-processing industry.

Sewing Technology for shirts and blouses

In previous days, a white shirt was considered as a status symbol for men. Still today white shirts are in great demand and omnipresent, particularly in business lite it was not until the 20th century that also coloured and patterned shirts gained popularity in the World of fashion. The advance of the shirt has been unstoppable ever since.
The multitude of fine materials ranges from cotton via silk up to synthetic fibres. These materials are a special challenge with regard to processing. The continuous change of collar shapes, modern and exceptional designs as well as varying cuff shapes combined with ever-new materials are a permanent touchstone for the flexibility and quality of the production plants. High-quality and process-reliable operating means are indispensable to meet these dernands. .

Thanks to the partnership of DÜRKOPP ADLE, BEISLER and PFAFF INDUSTRIAL these requirements are met in a unique way. The three brands united under the root of the ShangGong Europe Holding since 2073 possess largest innovative strength, unrivalled technical know-how and altogether more than 300 years of experience. Together they offer solutions forıiearly all sei/i/ing ano'/oining operations in the produc- tion of shirts and blouses. The procluct portfolio ranges from standard sewing technology up to fully automatic CNC technology by means of automatecl sewing units.

Hightech material processed with hightech machines

The constantly growing innovative textiles market specifically affects the fiber composites-segment. Here fibers made from carbon, glass, Kevlar® or natural fibers are processed to make particularly light-weight components that are subject to high levels of stress. Both known sewing and special one-side application methods are being used here.
Counting on more than 50 years of experience in the field of technical textiles, KSL has developed functional heads which when combined with robotic systems allow 3D-processing. KSL’s specialty is the development and construction of special sewing heads in combination with the synchronization of the robot movement with the sewing drive. This way a reproducibly consistent stitch length is achieved. In addition to one-side sewing heads, lockstitch or 2-thread chain stitch machine technology is also integrated into such systems.
The integration of ultrasonic cutting heads for dry fabrics or prepreg-materials as well as functional heads for measuring and handling jobs are established. Laying heads and Z-pinning heads were developed to precisely introduce or apply reinforcements. The systems are future-oriented and equipped with tool changers so a subsequent extension is possible at any time. We would be happy to develop specific solutions together with you and are looking forward to your feedback!
