There are various classifications of looms. Based on the weft insertion method, they can be classified into shuttle looms and shuttleless looms.
The weft insertion of the shuttle loom uses traditional wooden or plastic shuttles. Due to the large volume and heavy weight of the shuttle, it is repeatedly projected back and forth, causing significant machine vibration, high noise levels, high energy consumption, slow speed, and low efficiency.
The weft insertion methods of shuttleless machine are also diverse, including rapier, air-jet, water-jet, projectile, and multiphase methods.
Among various shuttleless looms, the air-jet loom has the highest speed. Due to its reasonable weft insertion method, it has a high weft insertion rate, and its operation is simple and safe. It has a wide range of adaptability, low material consumption, high efficiency, and other advantages such as high air jet loom speed and low noise. It has become one of the most promising new types of looms.
Early air-jet looms had a very limited scope, mainly producing grey cloth with small widths and low speeds, resulting in limited fabric applications and low fabric quality. However, since the early 1980s, with the development of air jet weaving shaped reeds and relay weft insertion technology, as well as the application of electronic computers, sensors, and variable frequency speed control technology, the speed and automatic monitoring level of air-jet looms have been greatly improved. Especially in the last 10 years, the rapid development of air-jet looms has endowed them with many advantages such as high quality, high speed, high output, and high level of automation. The range of adaptable varieties has greatly increased.
Textile Industry
Chemical Fiber Industry: Air-jet looms occupy an important position in the chemical fiber industry, efficiently and with high quality producing various chemical fiber fabrics such as polyester and nylon.
Natural Fiber Industry: Also suitable for the weaving of natural fibers such as cotton, wool, silk, and linen, meeting the needs of different fabrics.
