Detail
 #SKS-LC1, Curtain Rapier Loom, 

A Curtain Loom is a specialized weaving machine designed for producing curtain fabrics, including sheer, jacquard, and heavy drapery materials. These looms are engineered to handle wide-width fabrics, intricate designs, and high-quality weaves.


Types of Curtain Looms:

  1. Rapier Curtain Loom

    • Uses flexible or rigid rapiers to insert the weft yarn.
    • Suitable for jacquard and dobby curtain fabrics.
    • Can weave sheer, decorative, and thick curtain fabrics.
    • Capable of handling multiple colors and complex designs.
  2. Air-Jet Curtain Loom

    • Uses high-speed air jets to insert the weft yarn.
    • Ideal for lightweight and plain curtain fabrics.
    • High production speed but requires high-quality yarn.
  3. Water-Jet Curtain Loom

    • Uses water to insert the weft yarn.
    • Mainly used for synthetic curtain fabrics (polyester, nylon, etc.).
    • Limited in fabric variety due to water-based weft insertion.
  4. Jacquard Curtain Loom

    • Equipped with a jacquard mechanism for intricate curtain patterns.
    • Produces high-end, decorative curtain fabrics with detailed designs.
    • Used for luxury home décor and hotel curtains.
  5. Dobby Curtain Loom

    • Uses a dobby shedding mechanism to create small, repeating patterns.
    • Suitable for textured curtain fabrics with geometric or floral designs.

Key Features of Curtain Looms:

Wide Width Weaving – Typically available in 280 cm to 360 cm widths to produce large curtain panels.
Multi-Color Weaving – Capable of handling multiple weft colors for decorative patterns.
High Speed & Efficiency – Advanced looms can reach 300–600 picks per minute (ppm).
Fine Yarn Compatibility – Can handle delicate sheer fabrics or thicker decorative materials.
Jacquard or Dobby Attachment – For creating textured and artistic curtain designs.


Advantages of Curtain Looms:

Wide-format weaving for large panels.
Supports intricate designs (jacquard, dobby, multi-color weaves).
High production speed for mass production.
Energy-efficient options (rapier looms consume less energy than air-jet looms).
