Therefore, rapier weft insertion is very suitable for processing fancy yarns with thick thread density in the weft direction (such as loop yarn, knot yarn, slub yarn, etc.) or decorative fabrics with fine thread density yarns and thick thread density yarns spaced to form thick and thin strips. As well as using warp jacquard to form high-end fabrics with different levels and concave-convex styles, which is difficult or impossible to achieve with other shuttleless weft insertion. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: \u5b8b\u4f53;font-size: 14px;margin: 0px;line-height: 30px;padding-left: 4px;padding-right: 4px\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;margin: 0px\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: \u5b8b\u4f53;font-size: 14px;margin: 0px;line-height: 30px;padding-left: 4px;padding-right: 4px\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;margin: 0px\"> 2.

The weft insertion methods are different: air-jet looms use compressed air, rapier looms use arrow ribbons and water spray The loom is water-jet, and the projectile loom uses a one-way movement of the shuttle stick to hit the small shuttle for weft insertion. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: \u5b8b\u4f53;font-size: 14px;margin: 0px;line-height: 30px;padding-left: 4px;padding-right: 4px\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;margin: 0px\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: \u5b8b\u4f53;margin: 0px;line-height: 30px;padding-left: 4px;padding-right: 4px\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;margin: 0px\">\u30002. Speed: The air jet is fast and the rapier is slow, the air jet for 190cm reed is 600r\/min, and the rapier is 400r\/min. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: \u5b8b\u4f53;font-size: 14px;margin: 0px;line-height: 30px;padding-left: 4px;padding-right: 4px\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;margin: 0px\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: \u5b8b\u4f53;font-size: 14px;margin: 0px;line-height: 30px;padding-left: 4px;padding-right: 4px\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;margin: 0px\">\u30003. Cotton, wool, silk and linen can be woven; air jet is suitable for high count and high density, and rapier is suitable for thick and thick fabrics; such as 60*40\/173*120 satin 40*40\/133*100 anti-down fabric, etc. Jet, 16*12\/108*58, 7*7\/68*38 suitable for rapier <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Song Dynasty;font-size: 14px;margin: 0px;line-height: 30px;padding-left: 4px;padding-right: 4px\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;margin: 0px\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: \u5b8b\u4f53;font-size: 14px;margin: 0px;line-height: 30px;padding-left: 4px;padding-right: 4px\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;margin: 0px\">4. Rapier looms have low requirements for yarns, hairiness, neps, and sizing, but air-jet looms require smooth yarn surfaces, less hairiness, and high strength. Jet looms require yarns with smooth surface, less hairiness, and high strength. Jet looms require yarns with smooth surface, less hairiness, and high strength. Because water looms use water, they are mostly suitable for hydrophobic fabrics. Projectile looms have high material requirements and high manufacturing precision, so they are good at making extra-wide products. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: \u5b8b\u4f53;font-size: 14px;margin: 0px;line-height: 30px;padding-left: 4px;padding-right: 4px\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;margin: 0px\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: \u5b8b\u4f53;font-size: 14px;margin: 0px;line-height: 30px;padding-left: 4px;padding-right: 4px\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;margin: 0px\"> 5. Color selection: rapier looms can have up to 16 colors, and projectile looms can have up to 6 colors. , water-jet looms have more than 4 colors, and air-jet looms have more than 8 colors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: \u5b8b\u4f53;font-size: 14px;margin: 0px;line-height: 30px;padding-left: 4px;padding-right: 4px\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;margin: 0px\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: \u5b8b\u4f53;font-size: 14px;margin: 0px;line-height: 30px;padding-left: 4px;padding-right: 4px\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;margin: 0px\"> As a new type of loom, the rapier loom has the characteristics of high speed, high automation and high-efficiency production of shuttleless looms. Its active weft insertion method has strong variety adaptability and can adapt to the weft insertion of various types of yarns. It is widely used in yarn-dyed weaving, terry quilt, silk weaving, wool weaving, linen weaving and other industries. In addition, rapier looms are widely used inMulti-color weft weaving also has obvious advantages. It can produce yarn-dyed products with up to 16 colors of weft yarn. It is a general machine model for weaving medium and small batches of colorful fabrics. It has now developed into a machine with wide uses and large quantities. Shuttleless loom. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>Extended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.china-fire-retardant.com\/post\/9391.html\">https:\/\/www. china-fire-retardant.com\/post\/9391.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.china-fire-retardant.com\/post\/9407.html\">https:\/\/www.china-fire-retardant.com\/post\/9407.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-76%20-822.html\">https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-76-822.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-64-655.html\">https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-64-655.html<\/a><br \/> Extended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-51-734.html\">https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-51-734.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tpu-ptfe.com\/post\/3320%20.html\">https:\/\/www.tpu-ptfe.com\/post\/3320.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Textile has always shouldered the mission of &#8220;selling cloth With the mission of &#8220;sheng&#8221;, we are committed to building China&#8217;s largest spot platform for yarn&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[46],"class_list":["post-9365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-textile-fabric-news","tag-db"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.textile-fabric.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.textile-fabric.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.textile-fabric.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.textile-fabric.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.textile-fabric.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.textile-fabric.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9365\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.textile-fabric.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.textile-fabric.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.textile-fabric.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
