Reeds for airjet looms

Steven tunnel reeds – with pressure to success

Steven produces and sells tunnel reeds for all common airjet looms. We consider specifications of the loom maker as well as your requirements.

 
 

Highly polished reed dents with perfect edge radii

The profiled dents of the tunnel reed separate the individual warp yarns: During the shed formation, the warp threads glide over the surfaces and the edges of the profiled dents. Each weft yarn is moved into the woven fabric from the tunnel through forward reed movement. The rounding and polishing of the reed dents are therefore extremely important for the quality of your woven fabric. For particularly sensitive yarns and challenging woven fabrics, Steven offers a special polish for dents and tunnels under the designation HP.

Constant air flow over the entire tunnel reed

The tunnel is the work space of tunnel reeds: Here, the weft yarn glides on a bed of air from the beginning to end of insertion. A key factor to guarantee the correct function of the reed is an even air flow over the entire reed length. This is why the air flow of each Steven tunnel reed is adjusted on specially developed systems and delivered with a corresponding air flow protocol. We adjust the air flow according to the specification of the weaving machine manufacturer or to your desired requirement. Different air flow zones are also possible over the reed length.

 
 

Conicals

For air jet weaving with multiple weft accumulators, we offer optional conicals for Steven tunnel reeds. Conicals of between 20 and 90 mm can be used depending on the number of weft accumulators. For tire cord, asymmetrical cones of 100 mm on each side of the reed are available.

Biconicals

For patterns with large shed openings, Steven offers biconicals. We also use tempered material as the standard for tunnel reeds. For demanding and sensitive yarns, we offer cones with special polish under the designation HP.
