There are many kinds of reeds for shuttleless looms. According to broad categories, there are flat reeds for traditional shuttleless looms and air-jet reeds for air-jet looms (also commonly called special-shaped reeds). Flat reeds are traditional products, while jet reeds have many special requirements. This chapter mainly introduces the jet reed.
The steel reed for air-jet looms (hereinafter referred to as air-jet reeds) completes the weft insertion movement together with the main nozzle and auxiliary nozzle of the loom.
The structure of the air-jet reed is more complex than other reeds. What’s special is that the reed teeth use stainless steel special-shaped reed blades with airflow grooves on them. Therefore, it is not only a device for arranging the position density of warp yarns and driving the weft yarns to the weaving fell. It is also an important device for guiding airflow and controlling airflow diffusion.
The structure of the air-jet reed is consistent with the design of the weft insertion of the air-jet loom. Only precise size, high-quality materials, perfect smoothness, stable air flow and low air consumption can fully meet the requirements of air-jet The needs of the loom are to achieve ideal air-jet weaving. In short, the air-jet reed is an important part of the air-jet loom.
