Do I need to select specific tools when cleaning the nozzles of an air jet loom?

Yes, specific tools need to be selected for cleaning the nozzle of the air-jet loom. The nozzle of a jet loom is a critical component of the airflow system, which propels the shuttle through air jets. Therefore, keeping the nozzle clean is crucial. If the nozzle is blocked or contaminated, the airflow will not flow properly, which will affect the quality and efficiency of weaving. It is very important to choose the appropriate tool when cleaning the nozzle to avoid damaging it or affecting its performance.
Usually, the nozzle of a jet loom requires the use of specially designed tools such as soft brushes, compressed air, vacuum cleaners, or fine cleaning needles. A soft brush can gently clean the dust and fiber residue outside the nozzle without damaging the surface of the nozzle. When using compressed air, ensure that the air pressure is moderate to prevent excessive airflow from damaging the nozzle or other sensitive components. A vacuum cleaner can be used to remove small particles around the nozzle, but care should be taken to avoid excessive suction on the nozzle.
In addition, fine cleaning needles can be used to clean small blockages in nozzle holes, but this requires very careful operation to avoid damaging the internal structure of the nozzle or changing the shape of the nozzle hole, thereby affecting the distribution of airflow. Choosing these specific cleaning tools can not only effectively remove blockages, but also ensure the normal operation of the nozzle, ensuring that the air-jet loom runs in an efficient and stable state.
