Abstract:

In this research work an attempt has been made to develop the Three Layered Technical Textiles using Rapier Shuttless Loom with necessary alterations in loom settings and modifications in the essential components of the existingShuttless loom. For the development of Three layered Technical Textiles, threedifferent types of Sized Yarns have been used in a weaver’s beam containing Lyocell micro fibre spun yarn, Cotton Yarn and Polyester spun yarn for the three layered Technical textiles as inner, middle and outer layers respectively with suitable modification in the primary and secondary motion of the loom, such asShedding, Let-off and Take-up motions.The three layered technical textiles has been sucessfully developed in existing Rapier Looms. The modification in the shed geometry and shed crossing angle of the respective layers such as inner layer, middle layer and outer layer have been done. In let-off motion theposition and the load cell of the back restwere altered. Heavier load springs in oscillating bars has been changed. The warp weight has been maintained at the higher side. Inthe take-up motion three modification has been done which are the pressure roller diameter has been increased for better holding of fabric.Secondly cramming take-up has been adopted for the pick variation.Andthirdly bigger spikes inthe temple rings have been used for the better grip at fell of the fabric. With abovemodifications the development of three layered technical textile has been successfully carried out.
