Returning Customer in Kandy Installs a Second Xingzhong PVC DIP Shoe Machine

In August 2026, Ruian Xingzhong Industrial Co., Ltd. completed the installation and commissioning of an XZ988/20SC PVC direct injection (DIP) shoe machine for a footwear manufacturer in Kandy, Sri Lanka.

This was the customer's second purchase from Xingzhong. The repeat order reflects the customer's confidence in the quality, production stability, and operating performance of its existing Xingzhong equipment.

The newly installed XZ988/20SC has 20 working stations and an estimated production capacity of approximately 300 pairs per hour. It will be used mainly for sports shoes with knitted, flyknit-style, and leather uppers.

Our technical team completed the on-site installation and commissioning within five days, helping the customer prepare the machine for production efficiently.

Why the Customer Chose Xingzhong Again

For a footwear manufacturer, purchasing another machine from the same supplier is a practical decision based on previous operating experience.

The customer had already used Xingzhong equipment before placing this order. Its decision to purchase a second machine demonstrates continued confidence in the machine's build quality, stable operation, and suitability for the customer's production requirements.

Repeat orders are particularly important in the shoe machinery industry. A new machine must work with the factory's existing production process, molds, materials, operators, and product specifications. Choosing a familiar and reliable equipment platform can also make production expansion and technical coordination more manageable.

This second order in Kandy therefore represents more than an additional machine. It reflects an ongoing relationship built through equipment performance and technical support.

XZ988/20SC for Sports Shoe Production

The XZ988/20SC is a 20-station PVC direct injection shoe machine designed for continuous footwear production.

In the direct injection process, PVC sole material is molded and bonded directly to the prepared shoe upper. This production method can reduce separate sole-attaching procedures and supports an efficient manufacturing workflow when the machine, mold, materials, and process parameters are properly matched.

The customer in Kandy mainly produces sports shoes using knitted or flyknit-style fabric uppers and leather uppers.

The new machine has an estimated production capacity of approximately 300 pairs per hour. Actual output may vary according to the shoe design, mold configuration, material formulation, shoe size, operating parameters, and factory conditions.

Before equipment selection, Xingzhong works with customers to understand their intended shoe products, materials, station requirements, and production targets. This helps determine a suitable machine configuration for each footwear project.

Installation and Commissioning Completed in Five Days

Equipment delivery is only one part of an international shoe machinery project. Efficient installation and commissioning are also essential for bringing a new production line into operation.

For this project, the Xingzhong technical team completed the on-site installation and commissioning in five days. The work included bringing the machine into operating condition, setting the required process parameters, checking machine operation, conducting commissioning runs, and coordinating the transition toward production.

A clear installation process helps customers reduce unnecessary delays after equipment arrival. It also allows technical issues to be identified and handled before normal production begins.

The Kandy project demonstrates Xingzhong's ability to provide responsive overseas installation and commissioning support. Our goal is not simply to deliver a machine, but to help customers establish a stable foundation for long-term operation.

Supporting Footwear Manufacturers in Sri Lanka and Overseas

Sri Lanka has an established footwear manufacturing sector serving domestic and international markets. As manufacturers expand product ranges and improve production efficiency, dependable machinery and accessible technical support become increasingly important.

Xingzhong supplies PVC direct injection shoe machines for customers in China and overseas markets. Our services can cover equipment configuration, manufacturing, shipment coordination, installation, commissioning, and ongoing technical communication according to project requirements.

For footwear manufacturers planning a new production line or expanding an existing factory, several factors should be considered before selecting a DIP shoe machine:

• Intended shoe types and upper materials
• Required number of stations
• Target production capacity
• PVC material and mold requirements
• Available factory space and utilities
• Installation and after-sales support
• Spare parts and long-term technical service

Selecting the right machine configuration at the beginning can make future production planning and factory expansion easier.

A Second Purchase Built on Quality and Service

We appreciate the continued trust of our customer in Kandy. The second purchase confirms the value of consistent machine quality, stable production performance, and dependable after-sales support.

Ruian Xingzhong Industrial Co., Ltd. will continue developing and improving direct injection shoe machinery for footwear manufacturers worldwide.

For sports shoe manufacturers in Sri Lanka, South Asia, and other international markets, our team can recommend a suitable PVC DIP shoe machine based on your shoe designs, upper materials, required capacity, and factory conditions.
