The Difference Between Rapier Loom and Other Looms
As a new type of loom, the rapier loom is characterized by its high-speed, high-automation, and high-efficiency production. Its active weft insertion method has excellent versatility and can adapt to the insertion of diversified yarns. Rapier looms are widely used in yarn-dyed, towel quilt, silk, wool, linen, and other industries. Rapier looms also have prominent advantages in multi-color weaving and can weave up to 16 colors of weft yarns. It is the most popular weaving machine for small and medium batch fabrics. The rapier loom has become the most widely used shuttleless looms.

The difference between water jet and air jet looms and other looms are listed below--

1. The weft insertion methods are different
Air-jet looms use compressed air; rapier looms adopt rapier tape and gripper, water jet looms apply water jets, and projectile looms use one-way motions that rely on the picking rod to hit the shuttle.

2. Speed
Air-jet and water jet are faster than rapier loom; for example, 190cm reed width air-jet loom speed can reach 1200r/min, rapier loom 600r/min.
