Energy-Efficient Direct-Drive Motor

The Rifa RFRL31 Rapier Loom is powered by an energy-efficient direct-drive motor that replaces the traditional clutch and belt system. Its high-power transmission chain delivers smooth, reliable performance while significantly reducing power consumption, mechanical faults, and maintenance costs. This modern design not only improves efficiency but also enhances long-term durability. Equipped with a user-friendly control interface, operators can easily adjust weaving parameters and set technological programs with speed and convenience. Combining simplicity with performance, the RFRL31 ensures cost savings, ease of operation, and consistent productivity for weavers seeking a dependable and economical weaving solution.

Free Flight Weft Insertion System

The Rifa RFRL31 Rapier Loom is equipped with a Free Flight weft insertion system, designed without guide hooks for superior performance. Powered by an advanced space crank linkage, it delivers an optimized acceleration and speed curve, ensuring accurate and stable weft exchange at every cycle. By eliminating guide hooks, the system prevents damage to warp yarns, greatly reducing the risk of breakage and fabric defects. This makes the RFRL31 especially well-suited for weaving premium, high-count, and high-density fabrics where precision and fabric quality are critical. The result is smoother operation, higher efficiency, and consistently flawless fabric output.

Advanced Control System

The Rifa RFRL31 Rapier Loom offers a precision speed control system that allows operators to freely set loom speed through its integrated panel. With a wide adjustment range, rapid acceleration, and accurate braking, the system ensures stepless speed variation and automatic adjustments during weaving. This advanced functionality minimizes yarn breakage and prevents start marks, maintaining fabric quality even under demanding conditions. Unlike most machines in the market, the RFRL31 is equipped with a built-in display directly in the loom’s body, making speed settings and monitoring more intuitive. The result is smarter operation, reduced downtime, and improved weaving efficiency.

Centralized Lubrication & Water Cooling System

The Rifa RFRL31 Rapier Loom is designed with a centralized lubrication system powered by advanced micro-control technology. All high-speed pivotal parts are lubricated through a forced oil bath, significantly reducing friction, extending component life, and ensuring reliable performance at high speeds. The system includes a precision oil filter that removes impurities, maintaining clean lubrication for optimal efficiency. A sensitive pressure sensor, integrated with the control panel, allows operators to monitor working conditions in real time. For added reliability, a water cooling device can be equipped to stabilize machine temperature, delivering consistent performance and long-term operational stability.

Electronic Leno Selvage & Weft Selector

The Rifa RFRL31 Rapier Loom is equipped with an electronic leno selvage and weft selector system, driven by a dedicated rotation or step motor for precise control. Operators can easily set the timing of leno motions and false selvage units independently through the control panel, enabling accurate adjustment across a wide range of weaving applications. The system ensures exact control of the weft cross motion, while maintaining consistent fabric tension throughout the weaving process. This advanced functionality enhances fabric quality, improves weaving efficiency, and provides greater versatility for handling diverse fabric styles with superior edge formation.

RFRL31 is one of the Rifa high speed rapier looms, RFRL31 adopts asynchronous motor to drive electromagnetism clutch with high speed start and big torque, accurate brake and stable working.
