When it’s worth switching from a manual pot-filling machine to an automatic one: a simple calculation formula

An automatic eyeleting machine is an option that many companies start to consider when manual eyelet setting is no longer efficient. At first, a manual machine may be enough for occasional jobs or small production runs. However, when orders increase, time, consistency and cost per piece start to become more important.

Imagine that you currently spend 80 hours a month setting eyelets manually and, with an automatic solution, you reduce that work to 35 hours. From there, compare that saving with the investment in the machine and calculate how many months it could take to pay for itself.

But it is not just about time. It is also worth considering benefits that directly affect quality and production capacity:

• Regular and precise eyelet setting.
• Less fatigue during repetitive tasks.
• Fewer errors and poorly finished pieces.
• Greater capacity to handle large orders.
• Better organisation of workshop workflows.

In summary, the change is usually worthwhile when the manual process limits delivery times, quality or profitability. If you set eyelets every day or work with medium and large production runs, automation can become a productive investment.

Types of automatic eyeleting machines offered by JOPEVI according to your production needs

An automatic eyeleting machine does not mean a single solution for every sector. Each material, format and application requires the right machine. That is why JOPEVI manufactures machinery designed for different professional needs, especially in footwear, leather goods, digital printing, garment manufacturing, curtains, tarpaulins and awnings.

In footwear and leather goods, the priority is usually to set eyelets and grommets with precision, a good finish and resistance to use. In digital printing or garment manufacturing, the need may involve advertising tarpaulins, banners, curtains, technical fabrics or items that require a clean and durable fastening.

JOPEVI manufactures machines for setting eyelets, as well as machinery for setting rivets. Its equipment can be adapted to productions that use plastic eyelets, as well as metal eyelets when the process requires them. This versatility makes it possible to choose a solution according to the material, diameter, volume and finish each company needs.

Before choosing, it is advisable to analyse several points:

• The type of material you are going to work with.
• The size of the eyelet or grommet.
• The number of pieces per day or per month.
• The level of automation required.
• Ease of use and maintenance.
• Available technical support.

The key is not just to buy a faster machine, but to choose a solution that improves the real workflow. This is where the support of a specialist manufacturer such as JOPEVI makes the difference.
