The difference between rapier loom, air jet loom and its fabric(1)

Fabric distinction: To determine whether the fabric is a sword woven fabric or an air-jet fabric, you can see from the fabric side weave:

(1) Normally, polyester-cotton thread is rapier (locking device), and filament is air-jet weaving (planetary gear device).

(2) Air-jet double-split fabric, one side is thread and the other side is filament. (In the middle is the seaming device, and the two sides are equipped with planetary gears).

(3) Rapier double-open fabric, both sides of the yarn are polyester cotton thread (both are seaming devices).

Loom distinction:

Rapier loom: use rigid or flexible rapier heads, belts to hold and guide the weft. In addition to being suitable for weaving plain and textured fabrics, rapier looms are characterized by easy color change, suitable for multi-color weft fabrics, and suitable for the production of yarn-dyed, double-layered fleece fabrics, loop fabrics and decorative fabrics.

Air jet loom: The weft is drawn by the compressed air jet, and the weft is brought through the shed. The biggest feature of the air jet loom is fast speed and high labor productivity. It is suitable for plain and textured fabrics, fine extra-high-density fabrics and bulk fabrics.
