<![CDATA[General Background: Industrial manufacturing systems heavily rely on consistent mechanical operations to sustain continuous output and product quality. Specific Background: In footwear manufacturing, glue roll machines play a essential role in applying adhesive evenly across footwear components. Knowledge Gap: Unplanned machine breakdowns caused by hardened adhesive accumulation, improper roll gap alignment, and irregular maintenance lead to operational disruptions and increased reject rates. Aims: This study evaluates routine maintenance protocols and systematic troubleshooting methodologies to preserve machine operational stability and minimize production downtime during the gluing process. Results: The implementation of structured cleaning routines using glue thinners, proper gap settings, and physical inspections returned machine performance to normal levels, improved roll rotational stability, and achieved uniform adhesive distribution. Novelty: The study details a practical maintenance procedure integrating mechanical roll disassembly with proactive false-echo and alignment verification tailored for industrial shoe gluing applications. Implications: Implementing these maintenance practices prolongs equipment lifespan, reduces operational downtime, and optimizes footwear manufacturing efficiency. Key Findings Highlights Implementation of systematic cleaning and roll gap adjustments prevents adhesive buildup and stabilizes rotation. Proactive troubleshooting techniques quickly resolve roll pressure fluctuations and minimize unscheduled production downtime. Regular preventive maintenance improves adhesive application uniformity and extends the service life of industrial machinery.
