What is Berdo
Berdo is a device for making fabrics with a pattern symmetrical about the center or without patterns. It is an object in the form of a frequent comb. Berdo has a long history, because it is an ancient device that was used to make linens, bandages, ribbons by hand until the 19th century. Then the reed was improved and began to be used in industrial looms for the manufacture of a large number of fabrics at the factory.
Initially, the reed was intended for the simultaneous compaction of the weft thread on the longitudinal thread. However, now in the industrial reed there is a function of heddle, the formation of a gap between the warp threads.
The reed is wooden, but in industry an iron reed with a large number of metal teeth is used.
Where is Berdo used?
Berdo is used both in industry and at home. The industry uses an improved version for the loom used in production. Thanks to improvements, the fabric manufacturing process has become more automated and has increased the ability to produce a variety of fabrics.
A little about how it works
The reed is part of the loom. Its function is to knock the weft thread onto the main thread, thereby obtaining a dense weave of the fabric. Although the reed is a fixed part in the production of fabrics, it also plays an equally important role, because it is the basis of weaving.
