Centrifugal clothes driers

CPC v2.1 Code: 44911

About centrifugal clothes driers

cpc code 44911 covers the production of centrifugal clothes driers, a critical component in the laundry and textile processing industries. These machines play a vital role in efficiently removing excess moisture from fabrics, enabling faster drying and reducing energy consumption. As a key part of the broader textile and apparel supply chain, the centrifugal clothes drier industry supports a wide range of downstream manufacturing and consumer activities.

Production process

Centrifugal clothes driers are manufactured through a process that involves several key steps. First, the outer drum and inner perforated drum are fabricated, often from stainless steel or other durable materials. These components are then assembled with a motor, suspension system, and control mechanisms. The final step involves testing the drier's functionality, including its spin speed, balance, and safety features, before packaging and distribution.

Production inputs

The production of centrifugal clothes driers requires a range of inputs, including sheet metal, electric motors, bearings, and electronic control systems. Manufacturers also rely on specialized machinery and tooling to shape, assemble, and test the driers. Additionally, the industry consumes energy, primarily electricity, to power the drying process.

Production outputs

The primary output of the centrifugal clothes drier industry is, of course, the driers themselves. These products are then consumed by 45211 Household appliance stores, 31511 Textile and fabric finishing mills, and other industries that require efficient fabric drying solutions. The driers produced under cpc code 44911 may also be used as components in larger laundry equipment, such as 44912 Washing machines.
