The Airjet Advantage
High-speed airjet weaving, built for bulk orders where the last metre has to match the first.
Four reasons bulk buyers choose airjet.
An airjet loom carries the weft across the shed on a controlled jet of compressed air instead of a shuttle. Fewer moving parts touch the yarn, so the loom runs faster and weaves cleaner.
Flawless fabric finish
Even pick density and gentle weft handling mean fewer weft bars, starting marks and broken picks. The greige reaches your processing house clean and uniform.
Higher production speed
Airjet looms insert weft many times faster than conventional power looms. Large bulk orders are woven in weeks, not months, and repeat orders slot in without delay.
Strict quality consistency
Electronic controls hold tension, speed and pick settings identically across every loom. Lot one and lot twenty are woven to the same construction.
Wider width capability
Airjet looms weave wider fabric than standard power looms, giving your cutting rooms better marker efficiency and less wastage per garment.
Airjet vs traditional power loom.
What changes for a buyer when the same fabric is woven on airjet instead of a conventional shuttle power loom.
| GK Weaves airjet | Traditional power loom | |
|---|---|---|
| Weft insertion | Compressed-air jet, no shuttle contact | Mechanical shuttle |
| Surface finish | Uniform, with minimal weaving faults | More prone to weft bars and stop marks |
| Speed | High-speed, suited to bulk volumes | Slower, limits bulk throughput |
| Consistency | Electronically controlled settings, loom to loom | Varies with operator and machine wear |
| Width | Wider widths available | Narrower standard widths |
| Yield at processing | Lower rejection, maximum usable metres | More fault cutting and seconds |
