About textile machinery; carding machines for preparing textile fibres

hs code 844511 covers textile machinery used for carding, a crucial process in the preparation of textile fibres. Carding machines are essential components in the textile manufacturing industry, responsible for untangling, cleaning, and aligning fibres to create a continuous web or sliver that can be further processed into yarn. This industry plays a vital role in the broader textile and apparel supply chain, contributing to the production of a wide range of fabric-based products that are essential to daily life.

Production process

The carding process involves feeding raw textile fibres, such as cotton, wool, or synthetic materials, into a carding machine. The machine uses a series of rotating drums or cylinders covered with fine wire teeth or card clothing to separate, align, and clean the fibres. As the fibres pass through the machine, they are combed and straightened, removing any impurities or tangles. The resulting continuous web or sliver of aligned fibres is then collected and can be further processed into yarn, which is the foundation for woven, knitted, or non-woven textile products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 844511 textile machinery; carding machines for preparing textile fibres industry include raw textile fibres (such as cotton, wool, or synthetic materials), specialized carding machines, and supporting equipment like feed hoppers, licker-in rollers, and doffer cylinders. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled technicians and engineers to operate and maintain the carding machinery, as well as a reliable supply of energy and utilities to power the production process.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 844511 textile machinery; carding machines for preparing textile fibres industry is the carded textile sliver, which is then typically fed into other textile processing equipment, such as 844512 textile machinery; combing machines for preparing textile fibres or 844513 textile machinery; drawing or roving machines, to be further refined and transformed into yarn. The yarn produced from carded fibres is a crucial input for the 520100 woven fabrics of cotton, 540700 woven fabrics of man-made filament yarn, and 560311 nonwovens, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, among other textile and apparel products.
