Machines; concrete or mortar mixers

HS v2017 Code: 847431

About machines; concrete or mortar mixers

hs code 847431 covers machines used for mixing concrete or mortar. These machines play a crucial role in the construction industry, enabling the efficient and consistent production of concrete and mortar mixes, which are essential for a wide range of building projects. The demand for these machines is closely tied to the overall health of the construction sector, making this a significant industry within the broader economy.

Production process

Concrete and mortar mixers typically use a rotating drum or paddle mechanism to thoroughly blend the raw materials, such as cement, aggregates, and water, into a homogeneous mixture. The rotation speed and duration of the mixing process are carefully controlled to ensure the desired consistency and quality of the final product. Some models may also incorporate additional features, such as automated feeding systems or specialized mixing blades, to optimize the mixing process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of concrete and mortar mixers include metal components (such as steel for the drum and frame), electric motors or engines, and various control systems and electronics. Manufacturers may also rely on specialized manufacturing equipment, such as welding machines and CNC machining tools, to fabricate the individual parts and assemble the final product. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce capable of designing, engineering, and assembling these machines.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 847431 is the concrete or mortar mixer itself, which is then sold to construction companies, contractors, and other end-users in the building industry. These mixers may be used in a wide range of construction projects, from residential buildings to large-scale infrastructure developments. The output of this industry may also be consumed by 842920 Machinery; for the extraction or preparation of animal or fixed vegetable fats or oils and 842940 Machinery; for the preparation of meat or poultry, as these industries may require similar mixing equipment for their production processes.
