Low-Speed Rapier Heald Frame 250-450 rpm Reinforced Steel Profile for Picanol Gamma Thema Somet Vamatex Looms

This low-speed rapier heald frame is a heavy-duty steel frame built for legacy rapier looms that are still running daily production. The reinforced steel profile and rigid side connectors keep the frame square under continuous shedding load, so the heald wires stay aligned and the shed stays clean pick after pick.

The frame is designed for the working range these older machines actually run at: it holds stable shedding at 250-450 rpm, which is the standard band for legacy rapier looms. Nothing is over-engineered for high-speed air jet duty, so the cost stays budget-friendly while the structure remains robust enough for everyday two or three shift operation.

Because legacy rapier looms rarely justify a full frame rebuild, this heald frame is positioned as a straight replacement: same mounting geometry, same side connector layout, drop-in fit on the loom beam, and no re-machining at the mill.

Q1: Will this heald frame fit my legacy rapier loom?

A: It is built for Picanol Gamma, Picanol Thema, Somet and Vamatex rapier looms. Send us your loom model, reed space and frame width and our sales team will confirm the side connector and mounting layout before you order.

Q2: What speed can the frame run at?

Q6: What warranty do you offer?

A: One year warranty against manufacturing defects. Damage caused by wrong installation or by running the frame above its 250-450 rpm working range is not covered.

Q7: Do you support neutral or private-label packing?

A: Neutral packing is standard. Private-label carton marking and artwork are available on request; please confirm details with sales before production.
