Abstract to our project

As is well known, the main disadvantage of air-jet weaving machines is their high energy costs compared to projectile and rapier weaving machines. This makes air-jet looms less preferable for companies in countries such as india that suffer from very high energy costs, despite their higher production speeds. Air-jet weaving loom manufacturers have continuously been working on the reduction of air consumption in their new designs to overcome this drawback. However, weaving mill practices are as important as machine designs on air consumption. In this study, therefore, we aim to investigate the possibilities to reduce air consumption on current air-jet weaving looms without making a new investment in a weaving mill.
