HS v2017 Code: 843420

About dairy machinery

hs code 843420 covers a range of machinery and equipment used in the dairy industry. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, processing and distributing dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt. The dairy machinery sector is an important component of the broader agricultural equipment market, providing specialized tools and technologies to help dairy farmers and processors enhance efficiency, quality, and productivity.

Production process

The production of dairy machinery involves the fabrication of various components and the assembly of complete systems. Key processes include metal stamping, welding, machining, and the integration of electronic controls and sensors. Manufacturers often utilize computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-numerical-control (CNC) machining to ensure precision and consistency in the production of dairy equipment.

Production inputs

The dairy machinery industry relies on a range of raw materials, including steel, aluminum, and various plastics and polymers. Specialized components such as motors, pumps, and valves are also essential inputs. Additionally, the industry requires skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and assembly workers, to design, manufacture, and maintain the equipment.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the dairy machinery industry are the various machines and equipment used in dairy production, processing, and packaging. This includes 843410 Milking machines, 843430 Cream separators, 843440 Homogenizing machines, and 843450 Pasteurizing machines, among others. These outputs are consumed by dairy farms, dairy processing plants, and other related industries within the food and beverage sector.
