Quick Summary
A fluid-jet loom is a type of shuttleless loom that uses a jet of either air or water to propel the weft yarn through the shed. This method of weft insertion is significant because it eliminates the need to pass a solid object through the shed, reducing issues with checking and warp protection, and also lowering noise levels. Fluid-jet looms are the most recently developed type of shuttleless loom and are produced and used on a smaller scale compared to other shuttleless loom types like rapier or dummy shuttle looms.1
