The difference between towel loom and ordinary loom


Towel looms appeared in Britain in the early 19th century, and China began to produce automatic towel looms in the 1950 s. The working width of the towel loom is 105~230cm and other different specifications. Towel looms are generally divided into platforms, buildings and broken-off weaving. The loom uses two weaving shafts to send out ground warp yarn and fluffing warp yarn respectively. Through the specific and regular movement of the reed, groups of wefts are pushed to the weaving mouth, so that the fluffing warp yarn forms loops on the surface of the fabric and weaves into towel fabric.

towel loomGenerally divided into platforms, buildings and broken weave. The loom uses two weaving shafts to send out ground warp yarn and fluffing warp yarn respectively. Through the specific and regular movement of the reed, groups of wefts are pushed to the weaving mouth, so that the fluffing warp yarn forms loops on the surface of the fabric and weaves into towel fabric. The warp feeding and beating-up mechanism of the towel loom is different from that of the ordinary loom. The let-off amount of the warp shaft let-off mechanism can be adjusted according to the required height of the loop, and the let-off amount remains constant. In general, the tension of the ground warp yarn is greater than the tension of the wool warp yarn, and the length of the wool warp yarn is greater than the length of the ground warp yarn. The reed in the beating-up mechanism is usually installed on the movable reed seat to complete the regular movement of the pulling loop. When weaving three-weft towels, the beating stroke of the 1. two-weft reed is smaller, and when weaving the third weft, the beating stroke of the reed becomes larger. At the same time, the three weft yarns 2. the 1. are pushed to the weaving mouth together, and the weft yarn clamps the fluffing warp yarn, and slides along the ground warp yarn with high tension, so that the fluffing warp yarn sent by the warp shaft forms a loop on the surface of the fabric(See Towel Tissue). When weaving the towel fabric on the projectile loom, there is no need to change the stroke of the reed, but a device that moves the shed, so that the shed moves back and forth according to a specific law during the beating-up process to form the towel fabric.

1. The common towel is terry towel. In addition to being woven into terry towel, towel loom weaving can also be woven into spiral towel, velvet towel, satin towel and other new varieties.

2.towel loomThe difference with the ordinary loom is that the warp of the towel loom is different from the warp of the ordinary loom. The warp of the towel loom is divided into wool warp and ground warp. The use of two meridian axis, hair meridian axis send a large amount of, easy to form a loop.

3. Can an ordinary loom weave terry cloth? Yes, but it needs to be modified to add a wool let-off device. Because towel looms are basically ordinary looms plus auxiliary equipment, the others are exactly the same.

Generally speaking, terry cloth has different production equipment. For example, knitted terry cloth is mostly woven by warp knitting; some towels can be used directly on ordinary looms.

4. How is the towel velvet?. The velvet towel needs to be cut and then brushed. At present, there are also untwisted towels, which use untwisted yarn as the warp. After finishing, the terry feels fluffy and is very soft and comfortable to use.
