Variety adaptability of rapier loom

Rapier looms have unique advantages in variety adaptability, but the weft insertion rate is lower than that of air-jet looms, only 1400m/min, which is about 50% of that of air-jet looms; the silk return rate is higher than other shuttleless looms. At present, rapier looms are mainly used for the production of small batches and a variety of weft fabrics such as decorative objects.

1. Due to good weft holding and low-tension weft insertion, rapier weft insertion is also widely used in the weaving and production of natural and man-made filaments and the production of terry fabrics.

2. It has a strong weft color selection function, which can easily change 8 colors at any time, up to 16 colors, and the weft selection movement does not have any effect on the speed of the loom. Therefore, it is suitable for multi-color weft weaving, and has been widely used in decorative fabric processing, wool fabric processing and cotton-colored fabric processing, and meets the production characteristics of small batches and multiple varieties.

3. The double-layer rapier loom is suitable for the production of double-layer fabrics and double-layer fabrics. Not only the weft insertion rate is high, but the velvet fabric produced has a good feel and appearance, and has no back defects. It is suitable for processing plush, cotton velvet, natural silk and rayon velvet, carpet and other fabrics.

4. In the production of industrial textiles, such as the weaving of glass fiber and other high-performance fiber special industrial technical fabrics, rigid rapier looms are used.
