Machines; for washing, bleaching or dyeing

HS v2017 Code: 845140

About machines; for washing, bleaching or dyeing

hs code 845140 covers a wide range of machines used in the textile and laundry industries for washing, bleaching, and dyeing fabrics and garments. These machines play a crucial role in the textile supply chain, enabling the processing and preparation of raw materials for further manufacturing and finishing. The demand for these machines is driven by the global textile industry, which is a significant contributor to the world economy, generating billions in revenue and employing millions of people worldwide.

Production process

Machines classified under hs code 845140 utilize a variety of techniques to wash, bleach, and dye textiles. Common methods include agitation, immersion, and spraying, often combined with the use of detergents, chemicals, and temperature control to achieve the desired cleaning, whitening, or coloring effects. These machines are designed to handle different fabric types, load capacities, and automation levels to meet the diverse needs of the textile industry.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the production of machines under hs code 845140 include metal components, such as steel and aluminum, for the frame and housing, as well as electrical and electronic components, such as motors, sensors, and control systems. Manufacturers also require specialized knowledge and expertise in textile processing, mechanical engineering, and industrial design to develop these machines. Additionally, the production of these machines relies on a supply chain of supporting industries, including 842199 Parts of machines and mechanical appliances, 840999 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the engines of heading 84.07 or 84.08, and 847990 Parts of machines and mechanical appliances, among others.

Production outputs

Machines classified under hs code 845140 are primarily used by textile manufacturers, laundries, and other industrial facilities that require the washing, bleaching, or dyeing of fabrics and garments. The output of these machines is processed textiles that can then be used in the production of a wide range of 50 Silk, 51 Wool, fine or coarse animal hair, 52 Cotton, 53 Other vegetable textile fibres, and 54 Man-made filaments, among other textile products.
