Shuttleless looms weave 2-4 times as much fabric per unit time compared to shuttle looms, eliminate the trouble and costs of repairs from shuttles, require smaller shed depths, and run at higher speeds. They are easier for weavers to operate, reduce physical strain, have a positive picking motion without shuttle risks, are suitable for cotton, wool, and manmade fibers, and consume less power than conventional shuttle looms. Shuttle looms remain more economical for low scale production and have easily available separate parts.

Weaves two to four times as much fabric per unit time
The trouble, danger and heavy cost of repairs and renewals of parts in negative picking have been completely eliminated. Pirn winding machine is eliminated Much smaller depths of shed are required Run at much higher speeds Can produce simpler types of fabrics on a large scale and provide opportunities for profitable exploitation in the long run. Easier to work and manipulate, and physical and menial strain of the weaver has been reduced to a minimum The picking motion is positive and requires no conventional shuttle, hence, there is no risk of shuttle flying-out nor trapping in the shed Suitable for weaving cotton, wool and manmade fibers The power consumption in a shuttle-less loom is only about 1/3 or ½ of a conventional loom of the same width Advantages of shuttle looms: Shuttle loom is more economical It is suitable for low scale production types industry Easy to operate Separate parts are available in the market
