Ama-Weft feeders zingamathuluzi asetshenziswa emishinini yokuluka izindwangu ukuze anikeze izintambo zokuluka emshinini wokuluka. Ama-Weft feeders adlala indima ebalulekile ekuqinisekiseni ukusebenza kahle kanye nekhwalithi yenqubo yokuluka. Umsebenzi we-weft feeder ukuletha ukunikezwa okungaguquki nokufana kwentambo ye-weft ku-loom, ngesivinini esihambisana nezinga lokukhiqiza le-loom.
Kunezinhlobo ezimbalwa zama-weft feeder atholakalayo, okuhlanganisa:
Iziphakeli ze-pneumatic weft: Lezi ziphakeli zisebenzisa umoya ocindezelwe ukuze ziqhubekisele intambo ye-weft eshedini (imbobo edalwe yizintambo ze-warp ngesikhathi sokweluka) kanye nase-loom.
Iziphakeli ze-electronic weft: Lezi ziphakeli zisebenzisa izinzwa ze-elekthronikhi ukuze zibone indawo ye-shuttle futhi zilungise ukuphakela kwentambo ngokufanele.
Iziphakeli zezintambo ezishayelwa yi-Servo: Lezi ziphakeli zisebenzisa indlela eshayelwa yinjini ukuze zilawule izinga lokuphakelwa kwentambo ye-weft, iqinisekisa ukutholakala kwentambo okungaguquki nokunembayo.
I-Projectile weft feeders: Lezi ziphakeli zisebenzisa i-projectile (insimbi encane noma idivayisi yepulasitiki) ukuthwala intambo yokuluka idlule eshedini futhi iye ku-loom.
I-Rapier weft feeder: Lezi ziphakeli zisebenzisa i-rapier eguquguqukayo (insimbi encane noma i-plastic rod) ukuthwala intambo ye-weft idlule eshede futhi iye ku-loom.
Sekukonke, umsebenzi we-weft feeder uwukuhlinzeka ngokuhlinzekwa okuhlala njalo nokufana kwentambo ye-weft ku-loom, ngesivinini esihambisana nezinga lokukhiqiza le-loom. Uhlobo lwe-weft feeder olusetshenzisiwe luzoncika ezidingweni ezithile zenqubo yokuluka, njengohlobo lwendwangu ekhiqizwayo, isivinini se-loom, kanye nezinga elifiswayo lokuzenzekelayo.
