LH2000

Published specifications

Values below come from the maintained catalogue record. The guide review date does not renew an earlier specification: read the dated source notes and confirm a current, matched configuration before comparing products.

Qifang aims the LH2000 at filament weaving in nylon and polyester. Its application list covers taffeta, umbrella cloth, bag fabric, Oxford cloth and decorative fabric. If your cloth sits in that list, send the actual yarn specification, weave, ends and picks, and the finishing route it will go through, so Qifang can say whether the loom suits your construction.

Choose the reed width from the cloth backwards, starting with the finished width you sell and the point in the process where it is measured. Order one of the five published widths as a fixed option, then ask how far that loom can weave narrower than its reed and how the selvedges are formed at your width.

For another fibre or a much heavier structure, ask Qifang for a sample run or a different machine. The company also builds air-jet and rapier looms, and the right weaving route for your fabric may lie with one of those. [1] [2]

The Chinese and English pages describe one series, with some rough translation between them. Work from a configuration sheet that names every option in the table below, and hold each quote against that sheet. [1] [2]

The table heading translates as drying of cloth. Under it, Qifang lists suction pipes, a fan and a separator that splits air from water, all drawing moisture out of the fabric on the loom. Ask how wet the cloth is when it leaves and whether you will need a dryer downstream.

The page gives no figures for water quality, inlet flow or pressure, drainage, or treatment and reuse. Ask Qifang for each of them at your width and options. Request the full electrical load as well, covering the suction fan and the other auxiliaries, once the motor figure has been corrected.

Qifang calls the loom efficient and cheap to run without naming a fabric or a test behind the claim. Judge it on accepted metres and metered water and power over an agreed run. Write rejects, stops and suction settings down next to the speed, so a quick run that turned out poor or wet fabric never becomes the benchmark. [1] [2]

Settle the trial method with Qifang before anyone starts the loom. A trial with your own filament on the exact configuration you are buying gives the contract something firm to refer to. [1] [2]

1. Lock the fabric brief

   Write down filament type and specification, weave, width, density, how the yarn is prepared and what happens to the cloth next. Keep a reference sample.

2. List the loom as tested

   Note reed width, frames or dobby, jet and selection package, storage and detection devices, selvedge treatment and suction parts.

3. Inspect the cloth

   Set measurable limits for width, construction and visible faults. Take samples from across the run and record how they were picked and graded.

4. Run long enough to count

   Log duration, good and rejected fabric, stops, operator interventions and settings. Meter water and electricity on the same run when running cost is part of the decision.

5. Carry it to your mill

   Keep the settings and approved samples. Agree the commissioning checks, who adjusts what, and the paperwork the delivered loom needs to repeat the result.

Qifang says key components on the LH2000 are imported, without naming a brand for each part. Ask for a component list for your loom with makes and models, along with any substitutions Qifang reserves the right to make.

Request a layout showing access and maintenance space, the corrected drive data, utility and drainage needs, the auxiliaries in the supply and the commissioning scope. Add training, manuals, lubrication and maintenance instructions and a list of wear parts to the handover.

Price, delivery date, warranty and a proven speed are missing from the catalogue page. Ask for them in the quotation, with the agreed trial record and configuration sheet attached. Price optional accessories and any drying or finishing machines on separate lines, and say who supplies each one. [1] [2]
