Air Jet Loom
Overview
Air jet looms are advanced high-speed weaving machines that use a stream of compressed air to insert the weft yarn through the warp shed. They are widely used for mass production of lightweight to medium-weight fabrics, especially in modern textile industries.
Working Principle
Compressed air is used to propel the weft yarn across the warp shed.
Warp yarns are arranged longitudinally and opened to form a shed.
Main and relay nozzles guide the weft yarn across the loom width.
Continuous operation ensures high-speed and efficient weaving.
Types
Single Nozzle Air Jet Loom
Multi Nozzle Air Jet Loom
Automatic High-Speed Air Jet Loom
Textile Industry Applications
Cotton and blended fabrics
Shirting and suiting fabrics
Bed sheets and home textiles
Industrial fabrics
Denim and lightweight fabrics
