An Investigation of Air Consumption of Air-Jet Loom

Abstract

Output is the key factor for the textile industry to keep pace with the present competitive environment, prompting researchers and machine producers to spend millions of dollars to ensure modern advances in method and equipment. The air-jet loom is now the only machine in the weaving industry that provides the highest efficiency of almost all types of yarn at a higher speed than other current looms without any problem. The production costs in the air jet loom are high due to the use of compressed air and electricity, making it less preferable in some cases of simple weave construction production. This study discusses the reasons for high air consumption and ways of minimizing it in the air jet loom. The factors leading to higher air consumption in the air jet loom and ways of reducing it have been investigated. Via various models of the air-jet loom, we investigated the variables that contribute to high air consumption.
