Frequently asked questions about using our footwear machines
5 Dec 2025

When considering renewing your production line or moving to more automated processes, many questions arise about the new shoe machines you want to buy. What maintenance do they require? How long do they last? What training does the team need? How do you choose the right machine for each stage of the shoe? At JOPEVI, we see these questions every day, which is why we have gathered the frequently asked questions our clients usually ask before investing.

Maintenance

One of the first concerns is maintenance. Most of our machines require basic periodic checks: cleaning work areas, lubricating moving parts, and more. With a simple routine, you will extend the machine's lifespan and avoid unexpected production stoppages.

Training and Learning

Another common question is about the learning curve. Our machines are designed for operators to adapt quickly: intuitive panels, automatic and semi-automatic modes, and custom programs according to the type of shoe. With brief initial training and some practice, the team becomes comfortable in a short time.

Types of Raw Materials

Another frequent doubt is whether shoe machines allow working with different materials: leather, synthetics, technical fabrics, or blends. The answer is yes, as long as the correct model and parameters are chosen.

Compatibility

Among the frequently asked questions, future expansion is also a topic. Many clients want to start with one machine and then add others. At JOPEVI, we ensure compatibility between machines so you can grow modularly without having to redo the entire production line each time you take a step forward.

 

Types of Shoe Machines We Manufacture at JOPEVI

At JOPEVI, we manufacture different types of shoe machines, always aiming to improve your productivity, reduce errors, and maintain a consistent quality standard. Our lasting machines are designed to adapt to both small workshops and large factories. Generally, they can be grouped into three main families: pneumatic, automatic, and mobile solutions with a cart.

  • Pneumatic Lasting Machines: These machines use compressed air to punch and place the eyelet in a single movement. Models like the J-25D stand out for their high speed (nine hundred strokes per hour) and very uniform finish, making them ideal for leather shoes, technical fabrics, and synthetic materials.
  • Automatic Lasting Machines: Designed for high-volume production lines, with models like the J-237. They integrate automatic feeding of eyelets, require minimal operator intervention, and can be programmed for different types of shoes, ensuring consistent and precise placement during long production runs.
  • Cart-Mounted or Mobile Lasting Machines: JOPEVI also offers cart-mounted machines, such as the J-32, which can be easily moved between workstations. They are very useful when you need flexibility on the shop floor, as they maintain high-quality eyelet placement without the need for a fixed station, adapting to smaller spaces or changing layouts.

Overall, all these lasting machines are specifically designed for sectors like footwear and leather goods, leveraging JOPEVI's extensive experience as a specialized manufacturer of machines for placing eyelets, hooks, rivets, and grommets in leather or technical materials.
