A temple roller in a power loom machine is used to hold the fabric width properly during weaving. It prevents the cloth from shrinking inward while weaving.
Main uses of a temple roller in a power loom:
- » Maintains fabric width : Keeps the woven cloth stretched to the required width.
- » Prevents edge curling : Stops the fabric edges (selvedge) from folding or curling.
- » Improves fabric quality : Reduces defects like wrinkles, waviness, and uneven width.
- » Controls tension : Helps maintain proper tension on the cloth during weaving.
- » Reduces thread breakage : Smooth fabric movement decreases warp thread stress.
- » Better finishing : Produces cleaner and more uniform fabric appearance.
