5.7 Weaving Efficiency
The efficiency of weaving is affected by the speed of modern looms.
The attached graph indicates a Picks Per Minute (PPM) increase from
300 to 600. This results in a decrease in overall efficiency from 95.5 %
to 91.0 %. In addition, the corresponding weft breaks are indicated.
This information was obtained from European Weaving mills, which
produce various products (source: Sulzer-Ruti, Switzerland).
