Combine harvester / threshers
CPC v2.1 Code: 44122
About combine harvester / threshers
cpc code 44122 covers the production of combine harvesters and threshers, which are essential agricultural machinery used in the harvesting of cereal crops. These machines play a vital role in the global food supply chain, enabling efficient and large-scale grain production to meet the growing demand for food worldwide. As a key component of modern farming practices, the combine harvester/thresher industry is a significant contributor to the broader agricultural economy.
Production process
The production of combine harvesters and threshers involves a complex manufacturing process that combines advanced engineering, precision mechanics, and specialized components. The main steps include the fabrication of the machine's frame, the assembly of the cutting mechanism (including the header and reel), the installation of the threshing and cleaning systems, and the integration of the engine, transmission, and control systems. Manufacturers often utilize computer-aided design (CAD) and computer numerical control (CNC) machining to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the components.
Production inputs
The production of combine harvesters and threshers requires a range of inputs, including steel and other metal alloys for the frame and structural components, specialized hydraulic and electrical systems, and high-performance engines. Additionally, the industry relies on 44111 Agricultural and forestry machinery for the procurement of key components, such as transmissions, tires, and electronic control units.
Production outputs
The primary output of the combine harvester/thresher industry is the finished machines, which are then sold to 01110 Wheat and meslin, 01120 Maize, 01130 Rice, and other cereal crop producers. These machines enable the efficient harvesting and processing of grains, contributing to the overall productivity and sustainability of the agricultural sector.
