Dry-cleaning machines

HS v2017 Code: 845110

About dry-cleaning machines

hs code 845110 covers the industry of dry-cleaning machines, which play a crucial role in the textile and garment cleaning sector. These specialized machines are essential for efficiently and effectively cleaning a wide range of fabrics, from delicate silks to heavy-duty workwear. The dry-cleaning industry is an integral part of the broader textile and apparel supply chain, ensuring that garments and textiles maintain their quality and appearance throughout their lifecycle.

Production process

Dry-cleaning machines typically utilize a solvent-based cleaning process, often employing perchloroethylene (PCE) or other specialized solvents. The main production steps involve the design and engineering of the machine's components, such as the solvent tank, filtration system, and drying mechanism. Manufacturers also focus on developing advanced features, such as automated controls, energy-efficient operation, and integrated safety systems to meet evolving industry standards and customer demands.

Production inputs

The production of dry-cleaning machines requires a range of inputs, including metal components for the machine's structure, specialized solvents and cleaning agents, electronic controls and sensors, and various other parts and accessories. Manufacturers also rely on advanced manufacturing equipment, such as CNC machines and welding tools, to ensure precision and quality in the production process. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce with expertise in mechanical engineering, electrical systems, and industrial design.

Production outputs

The primary output of the dry-cleaning machine industry is, of course, the machines themselves, which are then sold to dry-cleaning service providers, laundromats, and other businesses that require efficient fabric cleaning solutions. These machines may be further classified under other HS codes, such as 845121 Dry-cleaning machines, each of a dry linen capacity exceeding 10 kg and 845129 Dry-cleaning machines, each of a dry linen capacity not exceeding 10 kg, depending on their specific capacity and features.
