An air jet loom is a type of weaving machine used in the textile industry for producing fabric. It works by using compressed air to propel the weft yarn through the warp yarns, creating the interlacing pattern that forms the fabric.
In an air jet loom, the warp yarns are held taut on the loom's frame, while the weft yarn is inserted into the shed (the opening between the warp yarns) using a high-pressure air jet. The air jet carries the weft yarn across the width of the loom, where it is then beaten into place by a reed. This process is repeated many times per minute, creating a tightly woven fabric.
Air jet looms are known for their high speed and efficiency, making them popular in the textile industry. They are also capable of producing a wide range of fabrics, from lightweight and delicate materials to heavy-duty fabrics suitable for industrial use. However, they can be more expensive than other types of weaving machines and may require more maintenance due to the complex nature of their air jet system
