Textile has always shouldered the mission of “selling cloth With the mission of “sheng”, we are committed to building China’s largest spot platform for yarns, gray cloths and fabrics based on cotton fiber, and becoming China’s best comprehensive service provider based on the above three categories. As customers have higher and higher requirements for product quality, we continue to work hard to research technology and products, and strive to provide customers with high-quality products and services. The looms currently used in textiles include air-jet looms, rapier looms, shuttle looms, etc. The following is a brief introduction to the knowledge of rapier looms.
The manufacturers of rapier looms in the world are mainly concentrated in Europe, and our country has been producing rapier looms since the mid-1960s. Development of rapier loom. Famous brands in the world include Picanol, Itema, Dornier, Sulzer, etc., and domestic brands include Guangdong Fengkai, Shandong Rifa, Zhejiang Titan, etc.
Let’s take a look at some rapier looms usually used in factories:
Fabric width
The available widths of GTXplus rapier loom are 190 cm (75 inches), 220 cm (87 inches), 240 cm (95 inches).
Yarn type and count: short knitting yarn of natural and man-made fibers, from 200 to 3 denier (English count 120-1.8), continuous filament and crimped textured yarn, from 22 denier to 4000 denier, Various blended yarns and fancy yarns
Color range: single color, up to eight colors or eight different types of wefts and Mixed weft.
Picanol GT-Max rapier loom
1. Advantages: It ensures the high quality of the fabric and weaves high-end fabrics with low energy consumption
2. Color selection: up to 8 colors for weft insertion
3. Width: 190cm or 220cm
4. Speed: 450-550r/min, basically 450-500r/min
5. Picanol OptiMax
1. The reed width is 190, 210, 220, 230, 250, 300, 320, 340, 360, 380, 400, 430 and 460 cm, and the width is easy to change.
2. Large 12-color color selection and weft insertion.
3. Speed: 500 – 575r/min.
6. Itema R9500
(1), Nominal loom width (cm)
170,190,210,220,230 (narrow format machine)
260,280,300,320,340,360,380 (wide format machine)
(2), Weft selector: can be configured with 4 colors, 8 colors or 12 colors
(3), The theoretical weft insertion speed is 2200-1670r/min
Currently, most rapiersThe sword head of the loom is very versatile and can adapt to weft yarns of different raw materials, different thicknesses, and different cross-sectional shapes. 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.
2. Rapier loom and Differences between other looms:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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
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.
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.
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.
