CPC v2.1 Code: 4221

About reservoirs, tanks, vats and similar containers (other than for compressed or liquefied gas), of iron, steel or aluminium, of a capacity exceeding 300 litres, not fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment

cpc code 4221 covers a critical segment of the industrial equipment manufacturing industry. These large-scale storage containers are essential for a wide range of industries, from chemical processing to water treatment. They play a crucial role in the efficient storage and transportation of liquids, powders, and other materials, contributing to the smooth operation of global supply chains and manufacturing processes.

Production process

The production of cpc code 4221 containers typically involves a combination of metal fabrication techniques, such as cutting, forming, welding, and finishing. Manufacturers may use advanced computer-controlled machinery to ensure precision and consistency in the manufacturing process. The containers are often designed to withstand high pressures, temperatures, and corrosive environments, requiring specialized materials and production methods.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of cpc code 4221 containers include raw materials such as 4311 Iron and steel, 4312 Aluminium, and various types of specialty alloys. Manufacturers also require access to advanced metalworking equipment, including cutting tools, welding machines, and finishing equipment. Additionally, the production process may involve the use of specialized coatings, sealants, and other materials to enhance the containers' durability and performance.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 4221 is the production of large-scale storage containers, tanks, and vats. These products are widely used in a variety of industries, including 4222 Manufacture of steam generators, except central heating hot water boilers, 4223 Manufacture of other general-purpose machinery n.e.c., and 4224 Manufacture of other special-purpose machinery. The containers may also be used for the storage and transportation of various liquids, powders, and other materials in industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment.
