Wide-Width Projectile Loom Applications
topic
Projectile looms in widths of 3.9 to 5.4 metres produce wide technical fabrics including geotextile woven polypropylene fabrics, airbag fabric panels, carpet backing, banner materials, and industrial filtration fabrics at production rates comparable to narrower machines due to the single projectile insertion across the full width without the relay system complexity required for air-jet wide-width weaving.
Role
Addresses the specific technical and economic requirements of wide-width technical fabric production that make projectile weaving the preferred technology for fabric widths above 3 metres, where the single-projectile insertion across the full width simplifies machine complexity and maintenance relative to multi-relay-nozzle air-jet systems and provides insertion capability for heavy technical yarn types unsuitable for air insertion.
