Can the use of water jet looms reduce the yarn breakage rate of natural fibers?

The use of water jet looms can indeed reduce the breakage rate of natural fibers. Here are a few detailed explanations:

1. Reduce friction between fibers
The water jet loom increases the humidity of natural fibers by spraying water mist, and the surface friction of wet fibers is relatively low. This friction reducing effect can lower the wear of yarn during weaving, thereby reducing the probability of yarn breakage, especially when dealing with finer or more fragile fibers.

2. Reduce static electricity accumulation
Natural fibers are prone to static electricity in a dry state, which can cause the fibers to knot or break. The water jet loom reduces the generation of static electricity by humidifying the air, thereby effectively reducing the problem of yarn breakage caused by static electricity.

3. Improve the flexibility of fibers
Water spraying treatment can make natural fibers softer and more elastic, especially fibers like cotton and wool. After appropriate wetting treatment, the flexibility of the fibers is enhanced, the tensile strength is increased, and the probability of breakage during weaving is reduced.

4. Improve the stability of yarn
Under the action of the water jet loom, the humidity of natural fibers is evenly distributed, which contributes to the overall stability of the yarn. Especially during long-term operation or high-speed weaving, wet yarns can maintain stable tension and avoid yarn breakage caused by excessive tension or uneven force.

5. Reduce fiber warping or deformation
Natural fibers are prone to warping or deformation in a dry state, which may cause irregularities in the yarn and increase the risk of breakage. After water spraying treatment, the shape of the fibers is moderately adjusted to avoid irregular deformation, thereby reducing the risk of yarn breakage.
