About rubber; vulcanised, endless transmission belts of trapezoidal cross-section (v-belts), other than v-ribbed, of an outside circumference exceeding 180cm but not exceeding 240 cm

HS code 401034 covers the classification of vulcanized rubber, endless transmission belts of trapezoidal cross-section (V-belts), other than V-ribbed, with an outside circumference exceeding 180cm but not exceeding 240 cm. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader manufacturing and transportation sectors, providing essential components for machinery, vehicles, and industrial equipment.

Production process

The production of vulcanized rubber V-belts involves a multi-step process. First, raw rubber is compounded with various additives such as fillers, accelerators, and vulcanizing agents. The rubber compound is then extruded or calendered into sheets or strips of the desired shape and size. These rubber components are then spliced and joined to form the endless V-belt. Finally, the belts undergo a vulcanization process, where heat and pressure are applied to crosslink the rubber molecules, improving the belt's strength, flexibility, and durability.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 401034 products include natural and synthetic rubber, textile reinforcements, and various chemical additives. Specialized machinery, such as extruders, calenders, and vulcanization presses, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor and technical expertise are necessary to ensure the quality and consistency of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 401034 is vulcanized rubber V-belts, which are used in a wide range of industrial and automotive applications. These belts are commonly used to transmit power and motion in machinery, such as 842833 Machinery parts for lifting, handling, loading or unloading, 840991 Spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines for vehicles, and 848340 Gears and gearing; ball or roller screws; gear boxes and other speed changers. The V-belt products classified under this code may also be consumed by industries producing 842890 Lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery, 843320 Agricultural, horticultural or forestry machinery for soil preparation or cultivation, and 848360 (Clutches and shaft couplings (including universal joints)).
