Rubber; vulcanised, conveyor belts or belting, reinforced only with textile materials

HS v2017 Code: 401012

About rubber; vulcanised, conveyor belts or belting, reinforced only with textile materials

HS code 401012 covers vulcanized rubber conveyor belts and belting that are reinforced solely with textile materials. This industry plays a crucial role in various sectors, including mining, manufacturing, and logistics, by providing durable and reliable transportation solutions. Conveyor belts are essential components in material handling systems, enabling the efficient movement of goods, raw materials, and finished products across production facilities and supply chains.

Production process

The production of conveyor belts and belting under HS code 401012 involves a multi-step process. First, the rubber compound is prepared by mixing natural and/or synthetic rubber with various additives, such as reinforcing fillers and vulcanizing agents. The textile reinforcement, typically made from materials like polyester or nylon, is then incorporated into the rubber compound. The mixture is then extruded or calendered to form the desired belt or belting shape, which is subsequently vulcanized under heat and pressure to achieve the necessary strength and flexibility.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of conveyor belts and belting under HS code 401012 include natural and/or synthetic rubber, textile reinforcement materials (e.g., polyester, nylon), and various chemical additives such as vulcanizing agents, fillers, and stabilizers. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extruders, calenders, and vulcanizing presses, are essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 401012 is vulcanized rubber conveyor belts and belting reinforced with textile materials. These products are widely used in a variety of industries, including 842833 Machinery for lifting, handling, loading or unloading, 842839 Other lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery, and 842890 Other lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery, where they play a crucial role in material handling and transportation systems.
