About machines; for agglomerating, shaping or moulding solid mineral fuels, ceramic paste, unhardened cements, plastering materials in powder or paste form, machines for forming foundry moulds of sand

hs code 847480 covers a range of specialized machinery used in the production and processing of various solid materials, including mineral fuels, ceramics, cements, and foundry sands. These machines play a crucial role in industries such as construction, mining, and manufacturing, where they are used to shape, mold, and agglomerate raw materials into usable products. The efficient operation of these machines is essential for maintaining productivity and quality standards in these key economic sectors.

Production process

Machines classified under hs code 847480 typically utilize a combination of mechanical and thermal processes to transform raw materials into desired shapes and forms. This may involve techniques such as extrusion, compression, and sintering, which are used to compact and consolidate powdered or paste-like substances. Some machines may also incorporate specialized molds or dies to create complex geometries or intricate surface textures. The precise production techniques employed will depend on the specific material being processed and the desired end product.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the machines covered under hs code 847480 include the raw materials to be processed, such as 2701 solid mineral fuels, 6901 ceramic paste, 2523 unhardened cements, and 6809 plaster materials. Additionally, these machines require reliable power sources, as well as maintenance and repair parts to ensure their continued operation. The availability and quality of these inputs can significantly impact the productivity and efficiency of the industries that rely on these specialized machines.

Production outputs

The machines classified under hs code 847480 are used to produce a wide range of intermediate and finished products, including briquettes, molded ceramic components, cement blocks, and foundry molds. These outputs are then consumed by various downstream industries, such as 2701 coal and lignite, 6901 ceramics, 2523 cement and concrete, and 8480 foundry. The efficient production of these materials is essential for the construction, manufacturing, and mining sectors, which rely on them as critical inputs for their own operations.
