CPC v2.1 Code: 44440

About machinery for sorting, screening, separating, washing, crushing, grinding, mixing or kneading earth, stone, ores or other mineral substances, in solid form; machinery for agglomerating, shaping or moulding solid mineral fuels, ceramic paste, unhardened cements, plastering materials or other mineral products in powder or paste form; machines for forming foundry moulds of sand

cpc code 44440 encompasses a diverse range of machinery and equipment used in the processing and handling of various mineral and solid materials. These machines play a crucial role in industries such as mining, construction, ceramics, and cement production, enabling the efficient separation, crushing, grinding, and shaping of raw materials. The importance of this equipment cannot be overstated, as it directly impacts the productivity, quality, and cost-effectiveness of these vital industrial sectors, which are integral to the broader economy.

Production process

The machinery described under cpc code 44440 utilizes a variety of techniques to process mineral and solid materials. Common methods include screening and sorting to separate different particle sizes, washing to remove impurities, crushing and grinding to reduce the size of materials, and mixing or kneading to homogenize and prepare the materials for further processing. Additionally, these machines can be used to agglomerate, shape, or mould solid mineral fuels, ceramic paste, cement, and other mineral products in powder or paste form.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the machinery under cpc code 44440 include the raw mineral and solid materials to be processed, such as earth, stone, ores, and various mineral products. Additionally, these machines require reliable power sources, such as electricity or fuel, as well as regular maintenance and replacement of wear parts to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The specific design and configuration of the machinery may also necessitate the use of specialized tools, lubricants, and other consumables.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the machinery described under cpc code 44440 are the processed and refined mineral and solid materials, which can then be used as inputs for a wide range of downstream industries. These may include 44450 Machinery for working with mineral substances for further processing, 25100 Manufacture of glass and glass products for the production of glass, 23100 Manufacture of cement, lime and plaster for cement and concrete manufacturing, and 23200 Manufacture of articles of concrete, cement and plaster for the production of various construction materials.
