Does the water jet loom need to be drained when not in use?

Water jet looms need to drain accumulated water when not in use, which is an important maintenance measure that can effectively prevent equipment failure and performance degradation. The following is a point by point introduction:

1. Prevent rusting of components
When the machine is shut down for a long time, if water remains in the nozzle, valve, pipeline or metal parts, it is easy to cause rust.
Especially when the water quality is hard or contains impurities, it is more likely to cause corrosion on the metal surface.

2. Avoid scaling and blocking pipelines
After residual moisture evaporates, scale or sediment may form in the pipeline, affecting the water spray pressure and flow rate for the next use.
Long term water accumulation may also cause nozzle and filter blockage, affecting the uniformity of water spraying and weaving quality.

3. Prevent mold, odor, or water pollution
A warm and humid environment combined with stagnant water can become a breeding ground for mold, algae, or bacteria.
Easy to cause odor or deterioration inside the pipeline, affecting the workshop environment and product cleanliness.

4. Avoid freezing and damaging equipment in low temperature weather
In areas with lower temperatures, residual water in pipelines may freeze and expand, causing components such as nozzles, pipelines, valves, etc. to freeze, crack, or deform.
Emptying accumulated water is an important measure for preventing freezing.

5. Easy to quickly restart the device in the future
Clearing the accumulated water in the system makes it easier to inject new water, check the cleanliness, and troubleshoot before reuse.
Improve production preparation efficiency and avoid temporary issues that may delay startup.

6. The drainage area needs to be thoroughly cleaned
Not only the nozzle and water tank, but also key parts such as water pipes, main water supply system, water storage tank, and spraying system should be completely emptied.
Compressed air or drainage pumps can be used to assist in clearing the pipeline.
