Machines; for mixing mineral substances with bitumen

HS v2017 Code: 847432

About machines; for mixing mineral substances with bitumen

hs code 847432 covers machines used for mixing mineral substances, such as sand, gravel, or crushed stone, with bitumen. These machines play a crucial role in the construction and maintenance of roads, highways, and other paved surfaces. They are essential for the production of asphalt and other bituminous mixtures, which are widely used in the infrastructure and transportation sectors, contributing significantly to the overall economy.

Production process

The production of machines for mixing mineral substances with bitumen typically involves a combination of metalworking, engineering, and specialized manufacturing processes. These machines are designed to efficiently blend the mineral aggregates and bituminous binders, ensuring a homogeneous and consistent mixture. The key steps in their production include metal fabrication, assembly of mechanical components, and the integration of control systems and other technological features to optimize the mixing process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of machines covered by hs code 847432 include various metal alloys, such as steel and aluminum, for the construction of the machine's frame and components. Additionally, these machines require specialized mixing mechanisms, such as paddles or augers, as well as control systems and electrical components to regulate the mixing process. The production of these machines also relies on the availability of skilled labor, engineering expertise, and access to advanced manufacturing technologies.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by hs code 847432 is the production of machines used for mixing mineral substances with bitumen. These machines are then consumed by the construction, infrastructure, and transportation sectors, where they are used to produce asphalt and other bituminous mixtures for the construction and maintenance of roads, highways, and other paved surfaces. Other related 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, not elsewhere specified or included may also utilize the output of these mixing machines.
