Introduction

In the textile sector present time is the time of

modern & new era. Man has invented a lot of modern

loom using with modern weft insertion system. So the

comparison of conventional loom & modern loom

indicates how much the conventional loom is

modified within the passing of time.

LoomO Loom is a very necessary part for weaving. Loom

is a machine or device which is used for producing

woven fabric. Loom is driven by two ways. These

are manual system and automatic system.

Hand loom

Features of hand loom

O The hand loom is the oldest type of weaving loom.

O The shuttle is used for pick insertion.

O The shuttle looms are slow and noisy.

O It operates by man power.

O Less initial cost then power loom.

O Less production capacity then power loom.

O Can not produce complex design like modern loom.

O Lower quality of fabric.

Power loom

O A power loom is a mechanized loom

which runs by steam or electric power.

Features of power loom:

O It driven by steam or electric power.

O More production capacity than hand loom.

O Shuttle used for picking.

O Tappet,dubby and jacquard shedding can be use.

O More production capacity then handloom.

O Can produce more complex design.

O Higher quality of fabric produce.

O More initial cost then handloom.

O Risk of fire hazard.

O More initial cost then handloom.

Modern Loom:Modern loom means shuttle less loom. It

development during the 20th century. Several types

of modern loom have come for industrial use.

Air jet loom:

Features of Air Jet Loom:

O Weft yarn insertion us done by air force.

O Finer count of yarn is used as the weft thread to produce fancy type of fabric.

Advantages:

O Higher production capacity.

O High quality and complex design fabric can produce.

Disadvantages:

O Loose pick.

O Need too high nozzle pressure.

Conclusion

The features of the Modern loom versus

conventional loom indicate the main

advantages of the modern loom. The

difference between the shedding and

picking motion and driving mechanism is

mainly described in this paper. We think the

creating activities of this assignment will

help us in our practical life.
