Water Jet Loom: The first loom to make use of a water jet for insertion of weft was developed by Satyr.The loom was first shown at the Brussels textile Machinery Exhibition in 1995. Scope of Water Jet Loom Weft and warp yarn must be insensitive .i.e hydrophobic in nature. Weaving of the water attractive fabric is not possible by the water jet loom, Thermoplastic yarns offer the advantages of severance of weft by a heated blade and the provision of a heat selvedge by fusing.Features of Water Jy Water Jet Loom Ady; ‘antages; + Water jet proputsion stem drives, outbou include {85 mawy:avantages over other forms of marine propulsion, such as motors. sated propellers and wrfae dives.

Comments on Water Jet: Water jet loom is produce shed by using the high foree of water. In the weaving | think that is a tremendous invention.Water-jet weaving machine: jechoslovakia in the 1950s and These weaving machines were first developed in Cz ing machines are subsequently refined by the Japanese in the 1960s. Water-jet weavi not used as frequently as air jets, but they are preferred for some types of fabrics. The process is unsuitable for yarns of hydrophilic fibres because the fabric picks uP too much moisture. Water-soluble warp sizings are used on most staple warp Yarn®. Therefore, the use of waterjet looms is restricted to filament yarns of acetate, nylon, polyester, and glass; yarns that are nonabsorbent, and those that do not lose strength when wet, Furthermore, these fabrics come off the loom wet and must be dried. In this technique a water jet is shot under force and, with it, a weft yarn. The force of the water as itis propelled across the shed carries the yarn to the opposite side. This machine is economical in its operation. A water jet of only 0.1 centimeter is sufficient to carry a yarn across a 48 inch shed. The amount of water required for each weft yarn is less than 2.0 cubic centimeters. Water-jet machines can reach speeds of 2,000 meters of picks per minute, The water-jet looms can produce superior high quality fabrics that have good appearance and feel Both air and water jet weaving machines weave rapidly, provide for laying different colours in the weft direction, and produce uniform, high quality fabrics. They are less noisy and require less space than most other types of weaving machines. They cause minimal damage to warp yarns during the weaving operation, because the air or water jets are less abrasive than moving metal parts. The speeds of shuttleless weaving machines can be compared by measuring the picks per minute (ppm) or the yards laid per minute (ym) in weft insertion. In 1990, the top speed for a projectile weaving machine was 420 ppm with between 1000 and 1203 ypm weft insertion. Flexible rapier machines operated at 524 ppm and rigid rapiers at 475 ppm, laying weft at up to 1404 and 930 ypm, respectively. Air jets could lay as many as 1200 ppm and water jets up to 1500 ppm, laying 2145 and 2360 ypm, respectively.114 If a fabric 60 inches wide is woven on each machine at a density of 50 picks per inch, approximately 84 yards of weft yarn would be needed to produce an inch of fabric. In theory, the projectile would produce approximately 8.4 inches of fabric per minute; the flexible rapier, 10.5 inches; the rigid rapier, 9.5 inches; the air jet, 24 inches; and the water jet, 30 inches. The slowest of the new machines could produce a yard of fabric in 4.3 minutes, and the fastest would take just 1.2 minutes. Seldom do weaving machines operate at full capacity, but even at SO percent efficiency such machines could produce a yard of fabric every 2.5 minutes.
