Do you aim to enhance your weaving production line’s productivity, reduce energy consumption, and boost your profit margins? Keep reading to learn more!
This article provides a comprehensive understanding of circular weaving loom machines and lists key factors to consider when choosing a high-performance circular weaving loom, simplifying your decision-making process.
1. What is a Circular Weaving Loom?
A circular weaving loom is a textile machine that weaves cylindrical fabric using PP (polypropylene) or HDPE (high-density polyethylene) flat yarn. Depending on the number of shuttles, circular weaving looms can be categorized as four-shuttle, six-shuttle, eight-shuttle, and so on. Tulip Trading and Services Company offers the SPCL series 20-shuttle circular weaving loom.
Circular weaving looms differ from circular knitting machines in two main ways:
- Circular knitting machines knit, while circular weaving looms weave (i.e., they are flat looms).
- Circular knitting machines are mainly used for clothing, home textiles, and industrial textiles, while circular weaving looms are used mainly for industrial textiles like container bulk bags, colorful ribbons, geotextiles, and advertising fabrics.
2. How Does a Circular Weaving Loom Work?
A circular weaving loom uses multiple shuttles to weave multiple weft yarns simultaneously, creating fabric with interwoven warp and weft yarns. The warp yarns come from many bobbins on the warp beam. Depending on the fabric’s width and the flat yarn’s width, a certain number of warp yarns are selected. Before entering the circular loom, the warp yarns are crossed and opened by the heddle frame, while the weft yarns are wound at equal intervals on a cylinder, forming tubular fabric. If warp yarns are replaced with split film yarn, double yarns, or folded yarns, high-strength fabric for container bags or bulk bags can be woven.
3. Main Parts of a Circular Weaving Loom
A circular weaving loom generally consists of 4 main parts: the main machine, the warp feeding mechanism, the winding system, and the electrical control system.
Main Machine: Includes three main motion mechanisms: shedding, weft insertion, and beating-up.
Warp Feeding Mechanism: This usually consists of the warp beam and warp feed roller. The warp beam typically has a steel pipe or profile steel frame, support shafts, and plates arranged in rows and columns. The warp feed roller is actively driven by its own torque motor, reducer, and transmission chain.
Winding System: Includes the upper traction system and the winder.- Electrical Control System: Comprises electrical components that mainly control warp and weft stops, main machine start and stop, warp feeding system, and winding system.
4. Key Technical Parameters of a Circular Weaving Loom
The main technical parameters of a circular weaving loom include the main machine speed, maximum and minimum weaving width, number of shuttles, warp, and weft density, and number of warp yarns.
5. Standout Features of High-Performance Circular Weaving Loom
- High Production Speed and Efficiency: Through continuous innovation and improvement, circular weaving looms with warp-break sensors and ring shuttle tracks can reduce yarn fuzz and breakage rates, increasing production speed and efficiency by over 50%.
- Low Energy Consumption: With a synchronous belt drive, the main machine current is 8.0A at 60 rpm, with a power of 4KW, resulting in high transmission efficiency and low energy consumption.
- Low Raw Material Loss Rate: The unique warp tensioning mechanism eliminates the impact of loose yarn on the warp beam during weaving, ensuring stability and even warp tension. This reduces raw material loss and increases finished product yield and output.
- Green and Environmentally Friendly: Using continuous contact rolling guide rails for the shuttles and reed, without slide plates, the shuttle back wheel rolls purely, and no oil is added to the shuttle track. This significantly increases shuttle speed, prevents overheating, reduces noise, and keeps the environment clean, achieving green and environmentally friendly production.
- Excellent After-Sales Service: Circular weaving loom manufacturers should respond promptly to customers’ after-sales service needs, providing timely solutions and spare parts to ensure continuous and stable production.
Tulip Trading and Services Company’s SPCL series high-performance and reliable circular weaving looms incorporate multiple independently developed patented technologies, enhancing the loom’s lifespan and reliability, helping customers increase output, reduce production costs, and improve profit margins.
