1. Abstract
This project will give an alternative heat activation process for the Ethiopian
small scale manufactures to make easy and simple way of production. This project
aim to develop a simple heat activation machine which is easily kept in the lasting
zone. So that the adhesive are reactivated for both lasted upper and sole, then the
sole attaching process is carried out.
In this project the working system of the heat activation is fully electrical
system, but the gluing and hammering system is operated manually by the workers.
The heat activation machine will make the lasting work process easy and
productive by reducing time consumption, material consumption, and labor
fatigue.
2. Introduction
Heat activating is a machine which is used to activate the coated upper and
sole with in suitable temperature. Today the 21 factors are used the heat activation
Machine but in the small enterprise they are using for activating the coated upper
and soles are by using cylinder (bottle gas).

c. Surface Treatments
The surface treatment for lasted upper and sole is carried out before adhesive
application in order to get strong between to dissimilar material and the poor
bonding of materials in footwear can lead to complaints, order returns and a loss of
reputation. To ensure a correct level of bond strength, surface treatment is often
necessary and it can be a vital step to guarantee the durability and the quality of the
bonded assembly. To generate a good bond, the adhesive must adhere strongly to
the surfaces. The surface treatment must be carefully selected according to the
material. For this reason, it is important to analyze the type of failure that occurs in
the joint when where is premature failure of a joint.
d. Joining Process

a. Application of adhesive on the upper
b. Application of adhesive on the sole
c. Allow the adhesive to dry, by solvents evaporation, about 5–10min for
solvent-based PU adhesive. For solvent-based PU adhesive, activate
the adhesive by heat (infrared radiation, IR), approximately between
55 and 80C for 2–6s is required. Activation time depends on material
colour.
d. Attach the uppers and soles, placing the desired position
e. Pressing for 4–5s at a pressure of approximately 2–4 bar. The press
depends on material nature and hardness.
5. Statement of Problem
In Ethiopia, the small and medium enterprises are producing a shoe and
manufacture of various types of shoe style. The small and medium enterprises shall
predominantly play a great role on the preparation of leather shoe products. Also,
in Federal Technical and Vocational Education and Training Institute the leather
and leather products technology department it has no heat activation Machine.
Because of that the shoes have its own limitations such as poor adhesive bond
strengthens and poor strength properties of the sole as well as the upper and the
delivering of the teaching and learning process is inadequate because of the
limitations of our Machine.

6. Project Objectives
General Objectives
The main objective of the project is to produce the prototype of heat
activated machine.
Specific Objectives
Ñ To study about the heat activation machine.
Ñ To design the heat activated machine.
Ñ To develop the designed heat activation machine.
Ñ To check the effectiveness of the machine
Ñ To introduce the machine to the manufacturer or enterprises and the
FTVETI

7. Scope of study
The scope of this study is production and the prototype of heat activated
machine based on the study of heat activated machine and develop one products
and skill development and technology will be transfer.
The project will be done for the experimental and trial. The primary data
collection includes interviews, observation in lasting department. The secondary
source includes internet, books and photos.
Observation
Interviews
The design of the interviews was based on the project. Make direct interview
for personnel involved in the lasting sections of selected small enterprise and
interview with the production manager, operates and the FTVETI leather
department.
