Glass fiber rapier loom is suitable for weaving natural fibers (such as cotton, wool, silk, hemp) as well as various man-made and synthetic fibers. It can be woven in single, double and multi-woven fabrics, especially for wide-colour yarn-dyed.
Here, I'd like to share more information about its raw material--Glass fiber, which is neededglass fiber rapier loom. It is an inorganic non-metallic material with excellent performance. There are many kinds. The advantages are good insulation, strong heat resistance, good corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength. It is made of pyrophyllite, quartz sand, limestone, dolomite, borosite and borosite as raw materials through high temperature melting, wire drawing, winding, weaving and other processes. The diameter of its monofilament is several From 1 to 20 microns, which is equivalent to 1/20-1/5 of a hair, each bundle of fiber strands is composed of hundreds or even thousands of monofilaments. Glass fibers are usually used as reinforcing materials in composite materials, electrical insulating materials and thermal insulation materials, circuit substrates and other fields of the national economy.
Its main components are silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, boron oxide, magnesium oxide, sodium oxide, etc. According to the alkali content in the glass, it can be divided into alkali-free glass fiber (sodium oxide 0% to 2%, belonging to aluminum Borosilicate glass), medium alkali glass fiber (8% to 12% sodium oxide, belonging to soda lime silicate glass with or without boron) and high alkali glass fiber (more than 13% sodium oxide, belonging to soda lime silicate glass), which can be well used in the glass fiber rapier loom.
Raw materials and their applications: Compared with organic fibers, glass fiber has higher temperature resistance, non-combustibility, corrosion resistance, good heat insulation and sound insulation, high tensile strength and good electrical insulation. But it is brittle and has poor wear resistance. Used to manufacture reinforced plastic or reinforced rubber, as a reinforcing material, glass fiber has the following characteristics. These characteristics make the use of glass fiber far more extensive than other types of fibers, and the development speed is also far ahead. Its characteristics are listed as follows:
(1) High tensile strength and small elongation (3%).
(2) High elastic coefficient and good rigidity.
(3) The amount of elongation within the elastic limit is large and the tensile strength is high, so the absorption of impact energy is large.
(4) It is an inorganic fiber, which is non-flammable and has good chemical resistance.
(5) Low water absorption.
(6) The dimensional stability and heat resistance are all good.
(7) It has good processability and can be made into different forms of products such as strands, bundles, felts, and woven fabrics.
(8) Transparent and permeable to light.
(9) Good adhesion to resin.
(10) The price is cheap.
(11) It is not easy to burn and can be melted into glass beads at high temperature.
As for glass fiber rapier loom, there are two kinds of glass fiber production processes: two-time forming - crucible drawing method, one forming - pool kiln drawing method.
The crucible drawing method has many processes. First, the glass raw material is melted into glass balls at high temperature, and then the glass balls are melted for a second time, and then drawn at high speed to make glass fiber strands.
In the pool kiln drawing method, raw materials such as pyrophyllite are melted into a glass solution in a kiln, and after removing air bubbles, they are transported to the porous leakage plate through the passage, and are drawn into glass fiber strands at high speed. The kiln can connect hundreds of bushings through multiple channels for simultaneous production. This process is simple, energy-saving and consumption-reducing, stable in molding, high-efficiency and high-yield, and is convenient for large-scale fully automated production. It has become the mainstream production process in the world. The glass fiber produced by this process accounts for more than 90% of the global output.
